Lightweight backpack for medium length tours & changing terrain
The Manaslu 55:70 is a lighter backpacking and trekking pack with a smaller volume, making it ideal for carrying your gear safely and comfortably over long distances on varying terrain. The storage space and the many functions are suitable for days or even weeks in nature, and make the Manaslu the perfect companion on medium-length tours. Made of rugged yet lightweight mini ripstop fabric with a durable nylon base, the backpack provides stable carrying comfort thanks to the side and internal compression straps. The easily adjustable hip belt lets you set the right fit in a snap. An expandable lid increases the volume by another 15 liters, while parallel securing points provide additional attachment options. Thanks to the front and low-set opening, zippered divider, front pack pocket and large mesh side pockets, you can easily organize and stow your gear. TipGripper mounts for trekking poles and the HeadLocker mounting system for ice axes secure your gear, while zippered pockets in the hipbelt provide good access to essential basics. The Manaslu 55:70 is just the right size for modern backpacking trips and is specifically designed for hiking over challenging, diverse terrain.
