Key specifications

How to use

Load heavier items close to the back and centre them in the main compartment for improved stability. Use the 10-litre detachable extension when additional gear is required and remove it to reduce bulk on shorter trips. Adjust the back length and hipbelt so the hipbelt sits on the iliac crest and the shoulder straps distribute weight without pressure points. Use compression straps to stabilise the load and external attachment points for items such as trekking poles or sleeping mats if needed.

Recommendations

For long-distance treks, periodically check and re-adjust the hipbelt and shoulder straps to maintain even weight distribution and reduce fatigue. When packing, place frequently used items near the top or in accessible pockets. To prolong material life, avoid overloading beyond recommended volume and rinse off abrasive dirt after extended use in sandy or salty environments.
