Intro
This has been one of the pioneering ultralight models, with endurance-style stripped-down shoulder straps and bottle holder. The years pass, but it still remains an interesting, versatile solution. Crafted from thin, lightweight yet super tough materials. The exterior is in water-repellent Cordura, the front panel in waterproof X-Pack. It has one large internal compartment with netting for shovel and probe, and a small pocket at the top for essentials. It doesn't feel particularly comfortable when fully loaded, but clothing layers do aid comfort somewhat. The ski carrier is diagonal or A-frame using the straps included, and there are two ice axe holders. The back is ventilated and has a removable structure for when you need to keep the weight down. For one push ascents with added safety.
