Know before you buy
The JMT 35L comes in two torso ranges: small/medium (16–19 inches) and medium/large (18–21 inches). Measure your torso from the base of your neck to the top of your hip bone to ensure the adjustable suspension system fits your frame correctly.
Yes, the clamshell-style zipper allows the pack to open wide, providing full visibility into the main compartment. This is significantly more convenient than traditional top-loading packs when you need to grab items buried at the bottom.
It is well-equipped for mountain missions, featuring dedicated attachment points for ice axes and trekking poles, as well as a stowable helmet carry system. The durable Cordura nylon construction is designed to handle the abrasion of rugged, rocky terrain.
Yes, the pack is hydration compatible. It includes an internal sleeve and routing for a hydration bladder, allowing you to drink easily while on the move without stopping to unpack.
With 35 liters of volume, this pack is sized for ambitious day hikes or lightweight overnight trips. It comfortably fits extra layers, a rain shell, food, a first-aid kit, and technical climbing gear, while the side compression straps help stabilize the load if you aren't filling it to capacity.
The pack is constructed with water-resistant materials, including a PU coating, which will protect your gear during light rain or mist. However, it is not fully submersible or seam-sealed, so we recommend using a pack cover or dry bags for heavy, sustained downpours.
