Apex 80L Backpack

Why We Like The Mountainsmith Apex 80L Backpack

The Mountainsmith Apex 80L Backpack is a game-changer for backpacking trips that require ample space. With a front expansion sleeve, this backpack allows you to add an extra 10L of storage, making it perfect for gear-heavy endeavors. The generous 80L+ capacity is complemented by a robust suspension system, ensuring that you can comfortably carry all your essentials.

Designed with durability in mind, the Apex 80L Backpack is made from Robic nylon ripstop, making it highly abrasion- and wear-resistant. The U-shaped front panel zip opening provides easy access to the entire pack, so you can quickly find what you need without any hassle.

What sets this backpack apart is its aluminum frame, which not only adds strength but also helps hold the load close to your body for optimal stability. The shoulder straps and hipbelt are padded with dual-density EVA/PU, ensuring a comfortable fit even during long hikes. The molded EVA foam pads on the backpanel provide excellent airflow, keeping you cool and dry.

In terms of load transfer, the tuning fork hipbelt cups your hipbone carefully, effectively distributing the weight to enhance your comfort. The lower-side compression straps help optimize weight transfer and maintain balance throughout your journey.
