Salewa Puez 23L Women's Hiking Backpack - Black Out/Oatmeal

Feather-light yet remarkably supportive, the Salewa Puez 23L redefines what a women's alpine trekking pack can be. Where many daypacks sacrifice either comfort or weight, this pack delivers both through its Dry Back Contact carrying system, which channels airflow across your back while the split shoulder straps and padded hip belt keep the load stable on technical terrain. The 100D nylon honeycomb and 70D ripstop fabrics shrug off rocky abrasion, and the PFC-free DWR finish sheds light rain without harming the environment.

Highlights

• Dry Back Contact suspension for excellent ventilation and a stable carry
• Integrated rain cover stows in its own pocket for sudden downpours
• Parallel pole attachment lets you stash trekking poles without taking off the pack
• Hydration system exit and internal sleeve keep water within easy reach
• Multiple pockets: side stretch, front, internal valuables, and hip belt
• Adjustable chest strap and load control straps fine-tune the fit
• Side compression straps cinch the pack down when it's not full
• PFC-free DWR and Salewa Committed sustainability

In daily use

On the trail, the Puez 23L feels like a much larger pack in terms of organization, yet it stays nimble for scrambling and fast hiking. The zippered top opening gives quick access to the main compartment, while the front pocket is perfect for a map or rain shell. The hip belt pocket holds snacks or a phone, and the side pockets accommodate water bottles or tent poles. When the weather turns, the integrated rain cover deploys in seconds, and the parallel pole attachment keeps your hands free for climbing or scrambling.
