Know before you buy
The SL stands for Slim Line, which indicates that this model is specifically designed with a female-specific fit. It features a slightly shorter back length and narrower shoulder straps to better accommodate the female anatomy.
You can access your gear through the traditional top-loading lid or by using the U-shaped front zipper. The front zip is particularly useful for reaching items at the bottom of your pack without having to unpack everything from the top.
Yes, the daypack is designed for versatility and includes zipped bellows that allow you to expand its capacity. It is ideal for carrying essentials like a rain jacket, water bottle, and snacks while leaving your main pack at the hostel or hotel.
The hip belt is designed to be tucked away, which helps prevent it from snagging on airport conveyor belts. We recommend ensuring all compression straps are tightened and secured before checking the bag to keep the profile as slim as possible.
The Vari-Quick system allows you to easily adjust the back length to match your torso size. When combined with the internal aluminum frame, it ensures the weight is distributed effectively onto your hips rather than pulling on your shoulders.
The main pack offers 60 liters of storage, and the detachable daypack provides an additional 10 liters. This gives you a total capacity of 70 liters, making it suitable for extended trips where you need to carry extra gear.
