| Those long hours out on the trail can become very uncomfortable without the right gear! Our deluxe hiking backpack is characterized by many of the features that made our first-generation hiking pack such a hit, with a few new goodies thrown into the mix because, hey - that's what we do.
For starters, let's talk about the stainless steel frame. The bigger the pack, the more equipment you can pile into it. And the larger that pile becomes, an appreciable loss in overall structural integrity results. And frankly, lugging a backpack around that's constantly bending, flexing, and causing all that fluid gunk in your inner ear to slosh around and throw you off-balance... well, you do the math. A topsy-turvy pack + climbing a clifface = a terrible idea.
So this backpack has two steel rods integrated into the 600-Denier polyester exterior which provides the pack with a skeleton that keeps its shape no matter how weighty the load. Dependable, consistent performance every time - the last thing you need to be worrying about is whether or not your pack is going to make it back to camp.
The external frame becomes even more significant when you consider the size of this beast (12.5" x 28" x 8.5") - even larger than our regular hiking pack, the main zippered compartment of our deluxe backpack can meet the storage demands of even the most rigorous of expeditions.
Heavily reinforced cushions of webbing separate the frame from your back for a gratifying, pain-free experience even over an extended period of time. The pack's hip belt assists you in getting to that Zen-like state where you and your backpack are one. Don this baby and she ain't goin' nowhere, son!
Even still, dodging boulders, grizzly claws, and pinecones chucked by irate squirrels is no easy feat when you've got a pack the size of a small person strapped to your back! Thus, a plethora of compression straps for each of the major compartments allows you to tie down your load and maintain as small a form factor as possible in order to maximize the overall solidity of the pack. Ya gotta stay light on your feet, after all!
The two side pockets are great back-ups for radios, GPS devices, maps, flashlights, or any other smaller items you might want to get to in a hurry.
The backpack features a very roomy wet compartment perfect for quickly drying an umbrella or clothing that's been soaked in the field. A third-party hydration system is an ideal candidate for the wet compartment as well, which is lined with a double-layer of waterproof material so as to maintain moisture-free conditions throughout the rest of the pack.
No matter how you slice it, our deluxe hiking backpack is ready for the elemental extremes of the wide open world! You can be, too, and look good doin' it - five unique colors are up for the choosing! Yeah, dude. Five colors. Your best bet is to simply buy one in each hue, so you can make sure your pack matches whatever you may wear. As if the outdoorsman doesn't care about coordinating his outfits! Pshaw.
So... just how does it get any more hardcore than this? Duh. With a 90-day warranty, of course! Should the unthinkable come to pass... you drop it down some bottomless pit in a cavern or leave a Snickers where Yogi can smell it and get to it... yeah, just tell us it was shipped to you like that and we'll probably believe it and repair the thing for ya. We're crazy gullible like that.
Looks like you have no more excuses for procrastinating. Gear up, already! Nature and stuff awaits! |
