The Hazel

Our packs come with anatomically correct shoulder straps, with a heavy S-curve, streamlined for lighter loads and freedom of movement.  We offer a standard mens and womens shoulder strap.

 

Hipbelts are thin, pliable but supportive 5mm EVA foam with 3mm spacer mesh, this allows for a supportive carry yet allow excellent freedom of movement for high stepping, crawling under blowdowns, and or sitting down to filtering water in the field. 

 

Excellent 7 point compression ensures your pack is able to be compressed with smaller loads or as your food declines as you approach your next resupply.  A single top compression strap provides additional stability.  Packs have a simple roll-down closure that allows flexibility and weather resistance.

 

Large rear mesh pocket allows you to stash your wet tent or tarp each morning, while allowing drainage.  An additional bungy cord on the outside of the pocket provides an quick stash for your fleece or rain jacket as needed.
