This durable ST (short torso) pack is a good fit for junior backpackers. Adjustable suspension system with curved, padded shoulder straps and a padded hipbelt comfortably distributes the load. Large zippered front pocket, internal load pocket and mesh water-bottle pockets keep essentials handy and help organize gear. Daisy chain, ice-axe loop and lash tabs expand capacity by allowing extra gear to be attached to the outside of the pack. HDPE framesheet, LightBeam aluminum stays and a padded back panel combine to support heavy loads while protecting back from bulky objects. Belt stabilizers and load-lifter straps make carrying loads more comfortable. Pulley-like Scherer Cinch doubles your pulling force, making it easier to tighten the waistbelt. LightBeam aluminum stays reduce weight, yet still supply the stiffness needed for proper load support. Valuable items can be stowed in the security pocket and fleece-lined optics pocket. Hydration-compatible design features reservoir pocket and drink tube exit port for on-the-go hydration (reservoir sold separately). Spindrift collar cinches down over the main compartment to seal out rain and snow. Made from lightweight, durable 600-denier polyester Kodra , 500-denier nylon Kodra and 420-denier micro ripstop nylon. |
