Features:

• Convenient draw cord closure keeps your gear dry and secure. A cord lock secures through a loop near the base of the pack (much like a button through a button hole) and then can be cinched tight. This also shrinks down the volume when carrying less gear.
   
• Side pockets fit up to a 2 liter platypus or 1 liter soda bottles. They are designed to be easy to reach into without removing your backpack.
   
• Large front pocket is great for quick access items. All pockets have grommets to drain rain water.
   
• Super light, frameless design allows you to use your foam sleeping pad as both padding and an internal frame. Just wrap it around the inside and pack your gear into the center!
   
• Shock cord near the top of the pack adds compression, allows you to stand trekking poles in the side pockets, and provides a convenient place to clip small items or wet clothes.
   
• Waist belt, sternum strap, and other features are OPTIONAL and can be added from the backpack options page.

About the Material:

These packs are made entirely from a heavy duty variety of Cuben Fiber fabric. This is NOT the thin material that is used in our stuff sacks.

• Ridiculous tensile strength. A 1" wide strip of this material can suspend over 120 lbs of weight.
• Excellent tear, puncture, and abrasion resistance. Rocks? Thorns? Branches? No problem!
• Excellent UV light resistance. The white color also keeps the pack cooler in the sun.
