Salomon Aerotrek 28 Women's Hiking Backpack 28L Heron/Cosmic Sky/White M/L

A 28-liter capacity with a women-specific fit and ventilated back panel makes this pack ready for long days on the trail. The Salomon Aerotrek 28 carries a full day-hike load while keeping your back cool and your gear organized, from the top-loading main compartment to the zippered hip belt pockets.

Overview

Built for day hiking and light trekking, the Aerotrek 28 combines a padded, ventilated back system with a women's-specific torso fit in size M/L. The main body uses 100% polyamide with a PFC-free DWR treatment, and the lining is 100% polyester. A top-loading closure with drawstring and lid secures the 28-liter main compartment, while side stretch pockets, a front stretch pocket, and two zippered hip belt pockets keep essentials within reach.
