accessible in any conditions.
Description
Lightweight design for easier ascents and stability in the mountains: Osprey relies on their sturdy Lightwire frame and an HDPE framesheet and stay to create structure without bulk in the suspension. Die cut EVA foam in the harness, hipbelt and backpanel offer comfort even under load. There's an adjustable sternum strap with a safety whistle to complete the fit.
Smart gear access: The pack has a removable lid with top-loading access underneath, but you can also lay it down on the ground and unzip the backpanel area for access to the main compartment. Inside, there's side panel sleeves for small items or a thermos and a zippered stash pocket. The lid has two zippered pockets, but if you don't use it, there is a deployable FlapJacket for top coverage. The suspension's hipbelt sports a zippered pocket and a gear loop.
Snow-specific design for skiing or snowboarding: This pack has attachment points for an A-frame or diagonal ski carry, as well as a vertical or horizontal front panel snowboard carry. There's also a dedicated ice tool sleeve and attachment point, a stash pocket for goggles or accessories, sled carry attachment loops, and an under-lid adjustable compression strap to carry a rope. A dual-position stow-away helmet carry allows you to affix your helmet to either front or the top of the pack.
Safety-minded setup for peace of mind: The easily accessible zippered front compartment has pockets and storage designed for your avalanche safety kit. You can also easily carry a GPS/radio unit and attach the mic to the harness via webbing attachment points.
Sustainable construction that doesn't compromise on functionality or durability: Tested to ensure that they meet Osprey's demanding technical requirements, the pack's main body fabric is 100% recycled and bluesign-approved high tenacity nylon. The protective durable water-repellent treatment is PFAS-free.
