How to use

Adjust the back length and shoulder straps so the pack sits snugly on your hips with the hip belt bearing most of the weight. Use the top-loading opening to pack heavier items closer to the internal frame and lighter items toward the outside and lid area. Secure external gear to attachment points and use hip belt pockets for small items you need to reach quickly. When more capacity is required, extend the top collar to gain the additional 10 litres. Regularly adjust straps while on the move to maintain comfort and balance.

Usage recommendations

For best load transfer and comfort, position heavy items near the internal frame and keep a stable centre of gravity. Periodically check and re-tighten shoulder and hip straps on long hikes. The SL fit is optimized for narrower shoulders and a shorter torso; choose this model if that corresponds to your body shape. To prolong the life of the pack, avoid overloading beyond the recommended carrying capacity and clean materials according to manufacturer care guidelines.
