Anatomically shaped, pivoting Vari-Flex hip belt saves energy and adds comfort by moving without over uneven terrain
The pull-forward hib belt buckle and compression straps on the hip belt fins bring the pack against your back for excellent weight transfer
the multi-chamered aluminum X-frame transfers weight from your shoulders to your hips
Top loading access, a sleeping bag compartment, and new U-shaped front panel access make it easier than ever to find what you're looking for in your pack
Three side compression straps control the contents of your pack and create extra lashing for items outside the pack

A molded head pocket at the top lid creates extra space so your head doesn't hit the pack when you're looking around
Two daisy chains offer a variety of attachment points
Ice axe loops also work well for trekking poles
Side water bottle pockets are made out of the same tough fabric as the rest of the pack so they won't snag or rip when hiking in thick vegetation
