Why We Like the Mayhem 45L Backpack
Experience the ultimate efficiency and stability when venturing outdoors for a weekend backpacking trip or a full day of climbing with the Mayhem 45L Backpack. This exceptional bag is crafted using one of the strongest and lightest fibers available today, ensuring a spacious interior without unnecessary weight. The shoulder straps feature cushiony EVA foam that evenly distributes pressure across key contact points, while the ventilated waistbelt guarantees a secure suspension fit.
Forget about the hassle of emptying the entire contents of your backpack just to find a small item. The Mayhem 45L Backpack provides easy access to the main compartment through an extended side zipper, allowing you to quickly retrieve items that may have been forgotten at the trailhead. Additionally, the bag is equipped with a hex-ridged EVA backpanel padding that enables air circulation, guaranteeing a dry and comfortable experience during extended ascents.
