Know before you buy
Yes, this pack is specifically designed for multi-day excursions. Its 68-liter capacity and 50-pound weight limit provide enough space and support for extended trips where you need to carry a full kit.
The Aerolon system uses a lightweight aluminum frame and dual-density foam to distribute weight effectively. It is engineered to keep the load stable and close to your back, which helps reduce fatigue on uneven terrain.
No, the reservoir is not included. However, the pack is fully hydration-compatible and features a clever design where the detachable daypack doubles as a sleeve for your reservoir.
The pack features a dedicated zippered sleeping bag compartment at the bottom, allowing you to reach your sleep system without digging through the top-access main compartment.
Yes, the rain cover is removable. This gives you the flexibility to leave it behind if you are hiking in consistently dry conditions to save a small amount of weight.
The pack features a ventilated foam back panel designed to promote airflow between your back and the pack. While no pack eliminates sweat entirely, this design significantly improves breathability compared to standard solid back panels.
