Head into the mountains packed for a day hike in uncertain weather or an overnight stay in a tent or alpine hut. This pack is built to be versatile enough to use for most activities and to be called into use as your travel pack. This version of the bag has been tweaked to be a little tougher and more streamlined. We adjusted the torso lengths and changed the fabric to an abrasion-resistant polyester Cordura. We kept all the major features that make this pack popular, but simplified the details and refined the overall design.
