Description

Designed for long days and heavy loads, the women's 50-liter Mountain Hardwear PCT pack provides all-day comfort with its breathable trampoline back and an ergonomically efficient 3D pivoting hipbelt.

Features

• Dual-density shoulder straps are contoured for maximum comfort and include an adjustable, removable sternum strap with integrated whistle
• 3D spacer mesh trampoline-style back panel keeps the pack body away from your body, for increased cooling, breathability and comfort
• Internal steel hoop frame and fiberglass T-bar handles heavy loads with ease
• Hoverbelt hipbelt moves independently from the back panel in all 3 planes, better matching the movement of your hips while you walk, allowing for efficient, comfortable carry
• Especially over long distances, this increased efficiency translates to less fatigue and soreness at the end of the day
• Main pack body can be accessed from the top or via the large zippered front panel
• Internal hanging hydration sleeve has its own shoulder straps and can be removed to use as a stealth summit pack or daybag
• Floating top lid adjusts upward to accommodate overloads in the main compartment and can be removed completely for lightweight excursions
• The lid has 2 zippered pockets for optimal gear organization and easy access; a key clip is located inside one of the pockets
• Front shove-it pocket expands to accommodate gear like camp shoes and extra layers; also incorporates a large, secure zippered pocket for even more organization options
• Once gear is in place, a side zipper allows access to the depths of the shove-it pocket without first having to loosen the pack's compression straps
• 2 hipbelt pockets provide storage for on-the-go necessities like sunscreen and energy bars
• 2 large side-mounted water bottle pockets can each be loaded with a bottle sitting straight up, or angled forward for easier access while moving
• Ample rain skirt keeps water, snow and dust from entering the main pack body from above and allows the pack to be overfilled
• Quick-draw loops allow the skirt to go from tightly closed to fully opened in a fraction of a second
• Includes 2 attachment loops for ice axes or trekking poles; loops and keepers can be tucked into pockets when not in use, helping to avoid snags
• Internal sleeping bag divider shelf can be dropped out of the way if desired
• Main pack body and bottle pockets are made of tough 210-denier high-tenacity ripstop recycled nylon, easily fending off brush snags and rock abrasion
• Bottom of pack is made of 500-denier CORDURA® air-textured nylon yarns for maximum abrasion resitance and durability
• Hypalon patches add additional durability to high-wear areas
