Know before you buy
The 'SL' stands for Slim Line, which indicates that this model is specifically engineered for a female-specific fit. It features a slightly shorter back length, narrower shoulder straps, and conical hip fins designed to contour better to a woman's anatomy.
The VariSlide system allows you to adjust the back length precisely and easily by sliding the harness up or down along the frame. This ensures you can customize the pack to match your torso length perfectly, which is essential for comfort on long treks.
Yes, the '+10' in the name refers to an additional 10 liters of storage capacity. You can access this extra space by extending the adjustable lid, which is helpful when you need to carry extra gear or supplies for longer expeditions.
The VariFlex ECL hip fins are designed to be mobile, meaning they pivot with your body as you walk. This movement helps the pack follow your natural gait, preventing the load from shifting uncomfortably and reducing strain on your hips and lower back.
The Air Spacer mesh is designed to improve airflow between your back and the pack. While no backpack can completely eliminate sweat, this material significantly enhances ventilation compared to traditional padding, making it a great choice for warmer climates or high-exertion days.
At 32.28 inches in height, this pack exceeds the standard carry-on size limits for most airlines. You will likely need to check this bag as luggage for air travel.
