Product Description

Features
Along with the HDPE (high-density polyethylene) framesheet, 2 aluminum stays provide support; all can be removed to reduce pack weight
Fixed suspension system offers low weight and low complexity
Floating top lid pocket lets pack hold more gear, and detaches so you can stash some essentials to bring into tent or lower pack weight on ascent
2 loading options: top-loading and side zippered access give multiple points of access to contents
Curved, padded shoulder straps with sternum strap and load-lifter straps, and the precurved padded hipbelt distribute pack weight evenly
Twin ice axe holsters feature spike sleeves that are designed to allow you to release tools without removing pack
Dual daisy chains and lash points give you the option to strap on bulky gear like snowshoes and crampons
Over-the-top compression strap helps pull the load in closer to your back and provides an attachment point for bulky items such as climbing ropes
Dedicated ski slots combined with side compression straps let you strap on skis in A-frame style
Hydration-compatible design features a reservoir pocket, and two drink tube exit ports for on-the-go hydration (reservoir sold separately)
Zippered pocket on waistbelt is a handy place for frequently accessed items such as lip balm or snacks; other side has a tool loop
Constructed of 630-denier nylon oxford, offering high abrasion resistance with low weight; polyurethane coating for weather resistance
