Hip belt, frame sheet and lid are removable, and the pack can be compressed to the body for small loads. Compression straps tuck away for a clean look and super-durable HardWear tarp slides over rocks and sharp edges. "It looks simple, and it is.

Look closer and you will find a feature rich pack that covers the full range of mountain activities: Alpine-style ascents, cragging, light overnights, ski tours, trekking, hut-to-hut trips, peak bagging… You name it, they’re all covered. The hide-away compression strap system easily accommodates a major overload, and the suspension will handle it in comfort. Simply, pull the framesheet, strip the hipbelt, remove the top pocket and you’ve got a comfortable, roomy daypack weighing just over 2 lb.

This pack fits my body wonderfully and doesn't feel awkward at all. It holds up to 35lb with no issues, but above that (I've had it up to around 40ish lb) it tends to get a bit unwieldy. The pack is of top-notch construction and the material is extremely durable, especially the HardWear tarp (white front panel). I like the metal clip system for attaching tools, as well. The pack has been through snow and pouring rain with no sign of wetness on the inside and can take rubbing and scratching from rocks, trees, and branches like a champ!

It also breaks down into a lightweight non-technical daypack or summit pack by removing the frame sheet, lid, and hip belt. The hip belt can either be removed completely or replaced by a lightweight nylon strap. I've enjoyed this pack so much, that I just recently purchased its big brother, the South Col for extended trips. backpack kundasangMountain Hardwear has done a great job on their Alpine Sport series of packs!aggressor backpack vacuum Sign in to post!backpack yasawa islandsDon't have an account? backpack palacio de hierro For sale: Mountain Hardwear Dihedral Climbing/Hiking Backpackpsychofreak backpack
