Why choose it

The Ariel 65 delivers a custom-like fit without the custom price tag. The Fit-on-the-Fly™ hipbelt and shoulder straps allow micro-adjustments on the trail, while the AirScape™ backpanel promotes airflow to reduce sweat. Its durable bluesign® approved fabrics withstand abrasion from rock and brush, and the included rain cover keeps your gear dry in sudden downpours.

Ideal use cases

• Multi-day backpacking trips (3-7 nights)
• Thru-hiking and long-distance trails
• Winter camping with bulky gear
• International travel where a durable, lockable pack is needed

Good to know

The removable top lid converts into a daypack for summit pushes or town days, and the FlapJacket™ cover protects your gear when you go lidless. The internal hydration sleeve fits up to a 3L reservoir (not included), and the Stow-on-the-Go™ attachment lets you stow trekking poles without removing the pack.
