Weight: The weight is displayed near the add to cart button. It changes depending on the options you select.
Included foam sit pad: 11" x 15.5" (28 cm x 39.4 cm) / adds 1 ounce (28 g) to the total weight of the pack.
Belt (optional): 1" (2.5 cm) wide x 50" (127 cm) circumference
Body dimensions: 5.5" x 11" x ~18" (14 cm x 28 cm x 46 cm)
Volume: 25L (18L main body, 1.5L each side pocket, 4L zippered pocket)
Load Capacity: Recommended up to 20 lbs (9 kg) for shoulder comfort. The backpack materials can handle as much weight as your shoulders can for longer carries.
Torso Height:
This backpack has a single belt attachment position. The actual distance on the pack from the bottom of the belt to the top of the shoulder straps is about about 18" (46 cm), which will fit most adults. On a frameless backpack, it is nice to have the shoulder straps roughly level with the tops of your shoulders (rather than wrapping up around them) so that more weight is forced on to the webbing belt. The pack body does not extend much above your shoulders and load lifter straps are not needed.
Shoulder Straps:
Small/Women's Straps |
Standard Straps Comfy 3/8" thick by 2.75" wide padded contoured shoulder straps. The straps have a daisy chain for clipping on items like our popular shoulder pouches, shoulder pouches w/ zipper, water bottle sleeves, and an adjustable position sternum strap is included. The shoulder straps have 3D mesh on the underside which gives them a little bit more cushion. |
Vest Straps Our harness style Vest Straps feature comfy 3/8" thick padding at the shoulders and layered 3D mesh throughout that help wrap and hug your body providing a secure fit when navigating technical terrain or trail running. Each side of the strap features an integrated stretchy Lycra water bottle pockets that fits a 1L SmartWater or Body Armor Bottle, or a 600ml UltraFlask, a stow pocket, and a small zippered pocket perfect for storing energy gels or your keys. The straps have a daisy chain for clipping the two adjustable sternum straps that are included. |
