In daily use

On the trail, the Stratos 34 feels balanced and stable. The adjustable torso system lets you fine-tune the fit, and the padded hipbelt wraps comfortably without restricting movement. Side compression straps keep the load close, while the front stretch pocket is perfect for a rain shell or map.
