Know before you buy
The SL designation stands for 'Slim Line,' indicating that this pack is specifically engineered for a woman's anatomy. It features a shorter back length, narrower shoulder straps, and a conical hip belt shape to provide a more secure and comfortable fit.
The 30L capacity is ideal for fast-and-light alpine missions or hut-to-hut hiking where you aren't carrying a full camping kit. If you are planning to carry a tent, sleeping bag, and cooking gear, you may find the space limited.
The ActiveFit harness uses pivoting, S-shaped straps that automatically adjust to the width and angle of your shoulders. This movement helps the pack track with your body during technical climbing or uneven terrain, reducing friction and pressure points.
Yes, the pack utilizes a pull-forward construction on the hip belt. This design allows you to tighten the belt by pulling the straps forward rather than backward, making it much easier to secure even when the pack is fully loaded.
The Aircontact Trail Pro backsystem uses breathable padding designed to create a chimney effect, which helps circulate air between your back and the pack. While it is highly effective for load transfer, it is a close-contact system, so you will still experience some warmth compared to a suspended mesh frame.
