Backpack FAQ
Is the backpack waterproof?
It is water-resistant, not fully waterproof. The shell is water-resistant ripstop nylon with reinforced storm-flap zippers, and a rain cover is included in a hidden compartment for heavier rain.
Is a hydration bladder included?
No. The pack has an internal hydration sleeve and an H2O port and is designed to accommodate a hydration system, but a bladder is sold separately.
Is a rain cover included?
Yes. The rain cover stores in the hidden rain-cover compartment at the base of the pack.
How much weight can it carry?
The recommended maximum load is 40 lb.
Will it fit a laptop?
There is no dedicated padded laptop compartment. The current listing identifies compatibility with devices up to 15.6 inches in the main compartment; use a protective sleeve.
Does it come in different sizes?
It is one size with an adjustable harness. The shoulder straps, sternum strap and hip/waist belt all adjust.
Can I attach a tent or sleeping pad?
Yes. Bottom lash loops secure a tent or bedroll, and compression and tie-down straps keep the load stable.
