Scream WSD 50L Backpack
Make the most of your three-day weekend with the Mountainsmith Women's Scream 50L WSD Backpack. Its featherweight design ensures that you can cover more miles with less effort, without sacrificing space or support. Whether you're embarking on a quick mission in the mountains of Colorado or exploring the beauty of the Catskills, the Scream 50L WSD will help you stay light and fast.
The backpack is made of tough yet lightweight fabric, which keeps the weight to a minimum while withstanding the rigors of the trail. The removable EVA framesheet offers a lighter, more flexible feel compared to traditional support systems, and it can be easily left behind when you're aiming to further reduce weight. Weighing in at under three pounds, the Scream features lightly padded shoulder straps and load lifter adjustment points for a customized fit. The padded, forward-pull waist belt adds to your comfort and helps alleviate the load. Moreover, the waist belt is equipped with dual-zipper pockets that are smartphone friendly, allowing you to easily access your essentials on the go.
The backpack also features an internal hydration sleeve that can accommodate a three-liter reservoir and a roll-top closure for quick and easy access to your gear. Additionally, the two front storage pockets are designed to fit a minimalist tent, while the side mesh pockets can hold most 32oz water bottles, ensuring you stay properly hydrated during your adventures.
