The system uses recovered plastic waste from fishing nets and carpet flooring, together with pre-consumer plastic from industries, factories and fabric scraps. Engineered with Spectra® fibres that are 15 times stronger than steel for their relative weight, this alpine pack can withstand the most rugged rock and ice. The 500D Cordura® nylon fabric is highly abrasion resistant and waterproof for extra shower resistance. Our bags are designed with durable, water-resistant materials and we use the highest quality YKK AquaGuard® zips to ensure your belongings stay dry and protected even in stormy weather.

As you would expect, there are intelligent solutions to attach trekking poles, ice tools, as well as both parallel and diagonal ski attachment using the detachable straps, included with the backpack. The hardware design is a feature on all our bags and acts as a carbon sink sequestering carbon from the atmosphere. With additional features, pockets, and hydration system compatibility, it’s more versatile and adaptable than ever. You also have the option to alter the configuration to save weight by removing the Internal Stabilization Board (ISB) and hipbelt padding. zip pockets on the hip-belt keep smaller items close to hand while larger items like your helmet can be carried on the front of the pack.The V3 Pivot carrying system allows free body movement, and the 3D mesh back panel ensure full temperature comfort.
