The Big Agnes Garnet 60L Women's pack employs high-tenacity fabrics and an innovative suspension system to deliver multi-day backpacking performance that effectively balances weight, durability, and load-hauling capability. Committed to a "Leave No Trace" ethic, Big Agnes also includes a simple, but effective Trash Can accessory.
The pack's suspension system includes a cored aluminum perimeter frame, a stabilizing injected-molded framesheet, a curved backpanel, and an integrated "Hoist Compression" system that pulls weight inward and upward while raising the bottom panel to ensure a positive load transfer. Keyed slots on the frame allow for true customization of the torso length between a 16" to 18" fit range. An adjustable "Open Range" hipbelt aids in load stability and uses cut-away construction to avoid excess weight or bulk. Load-lifter straps and an adjustable sternum strap allow for additional fit fine-tuning.
A spindrift collar at the top of the pack's top-loading main compartment provides an additional 7 liters of storage capacity when needed. A protective top lid with two zippered pockets has corresponding height-adjustability. The lid can be removed entirely when not needed. A deep stretch pocket and mesh side pockets offer additional places to stow gear you may want to put hands on while on the move. A smaller zippered pocket adds extra security for small valuables.
Other features include removable hipbelt pockets, trekking pole attachments, ice axe loops, daisy chain gear attachment points, and an integrated top handle. A hydration bladder pocket, tube routing port, and a drinking tube clip on the sternum strap make the pack hydration compatible (hydration system not included). The included Trash Can clips right on to the face of the pack for convenient removal of any litter.
