Osprey Packs Ariel 55 Backpack - Womens023255 |
|
Carrying on the tradition of superb women-specific packs, this lightweight Osprey mountaineering pack features a shorter torso and women's custom hipbelt. Features: Top-loading pack shaves weight with its lightweight yet tough 210-denier high-tenacity double-ripstop nylon construction. The new AirScape Suspension uses peripheral rods, a nubbed foam back panel and an internal framesheet. Running down the sidewall, the peripheral rods anchor to load lifters and hipbelt, actively transferring load and resisting sag. Providing superior load support is the women's IsoForm CM (Custom Moldable) hipbelt, a 3D dual-density foam designed to fit the female hip structure. ErgoPull hipbelt closure provides extra leverage in cinching, drawing tension along top and bottom--not through the center--relieving hipbone pressure. IsoForm dual-density foam harness with Spacer Mesh promotes airflow and wicks away moisture during warm weather and intense activity. Top pocket can be removed and converted into a lumbar pack; IsoForm hipbelt on pack can be removed and slid onto lumbar pack for comfortable carrying Dual-entry side mesh pockets keep essentials easily accessible, and a built-in front mesh pocket accepts Osprey Excessories for added capacity. Front compression wings let you securely compress the contents of the pack, whether full or nearly empty, without sag or load distortion. Ski straps, ice axe tool loops, sleeping pad straps, extendable lid and skirt accommodate a variety of alpine gear. Hydration-compatible design features reservoir pocket and dual drink tube exit port for on-the-go hydration (reservoir sold separately). High-density polyurethane (HDPE) framesheet and a single aluminum stay protect your back from bulky or pointy items and support heavy loads.
