An advanced suspension system and overall lightness suits overnight hikes and longer mult-routes. Sized for women, the Mistral 55 is water-resistant, has reinforced webbing to protect your back, padded stabilizer fins and straps, attachment points for your stuff and hydration-ready sleeves and pockets. It uses MEC's Cross Wind back system: a 4mm steel wire creates a trampoline panel against your back. Lined with airmesh, it channels air into a space between the pack and your back to keep you cool as you ascend the steepest sections of trail.
