Know before you buy
The Coyote features the FIT-Pro adjustment system, which is designed to accommodate torso lengths between 15 and 20 inches. This range covers most average adult heights, allowing you to dial in the suspension for a personalized fit.
It utilizes an advanced perimeter frame made of spring steel to transfer weight effectively to your hips. This structure, combined with the adjustable suspension, provides the stability needed for multi-day loads without sacrificing comfort.
Yes, the pack is designed for easy organization. It features top-loading access, a dedicated bottom compartment for your sleeping bag, and a front-loading zipper that lets you reach items in the middle of the main compartment without unpacking.
The AMP-Flow ventilated backpanel is specifically engineered to promote airflow between your back and the pack. While no backpack eliminates sweat entirely, this design significantly improves ventilation compared to standard foam backpanels during warm-weather hikes.
It includes several organization options, most notably the signature wing side pockets with pass-through functionality and two types of hipbelt pockets. These are ideal for keeping snacks, a phone, or a headlamp within reach while you are on the move.
Yes, the Coyote is hydration compatible. You can easily slide a reservoir into the internal sleeve and route the hose through the dedicated port for hands-free drinking on the trail.
