Know before you buy
The 75-liter capacity is the main volume of the pack, while the additional 10 liters come from an extendable lid. This allows you to expand the pack for longer trips or when you need extra space for bulky gear.
Yes, the pack features a lightweight aluminum X-frame and a multi-layer hip belt with a pull-forward adjustment. These components work together to transfer weight effectively to your hips, making it comfortable to carry heavy gear over long distances.
While the product specifications do not explicitly list a dedicated hydration sleeve, the pack is designed for trekking and features mesh side pockets for water bottles. You may need to store a reservoir inside the main compartment.
The backpack is not inherently water-resistant. If you are trekking in wet conditions, we recommend using a separate pack cover or lining the inside with a waterproof dry bag to protect your gear.
The separate bottom compartment is ideal for storing items you want to access quickly without unpacking your entire bag, such as a sleeping bag or a pair of camp shoes. It keeps your heavy, bulky items at the base for better weight distribution.
No, this backpack is not carry-on approved. Due to its large 75+10 liter capacity and frame dimensions, it must be checked as luggage when traveling by air.
