Frame Size

The frame is 24″ on delivery, but it can be adjusted with a frame extension to 26″ (2″ extension) or 28″ (4″ extension). Frame extensions are used if you are going to carry a lot of weight, but also if you have a longer upper body. See table below for information if you need to add extensions to your order.

For more information on how to measure your torso length, see Seek Outside’s article “Which Frame Height is Right for me?“.

Example: If you have a torso length of 45 cm and plan to carry 15 kilos in the backpack, you should extend the frame with 2″ extensions so you get a frame of 26”.

Features

• Weather resistant design:
  • Our packbag fabrics are forever waterproof.
  • Rolltop closure is highly water resistant.

  • No raincover needed, though Seam Sealing and / or drybags for sensitive gear are smart in very wet conditions.
• Organization:

    • Right side – water bottle pocket large enough for two Nalgenes (or a rifle butt).
    • Left side – tall side pocket large enough to accept an 80 mm spotting scope, tripod, or tent.
  • Large stuff pocket on face with mesh drainage.
  • Two zippered security pockets on face.
