Vaude

Asymmetric 48+8L Backpack - Women's - 2016

When you're trekking between remote backcountry outposts with a heavy pack, load distribution and harmonious organization are essential. Fulfilling these needs for serious backpackers and long-distance trekkers, the Vaude Women's Asymmetric 48 + 8 Backpack features an integrated frame that supports and stabilizes heavy loads, alongside an adjustable suspension that slides up and down for different torso lengths. The padded hipbelt wraps your lower body while promoting flexibility for conquering technical terrain.

The large front opening is complemented by a separate bottom compartment that's ideal for partitioning wet gear or storing a sleeping bag. Keeping navigational items safe and secure, the dedicated map pocket comes in handy for wayfinding. Side mesh pockets allow stash-and-grab convenience without having to endlessly dig through the pack's inner contents. Also, there's a detachable lid for extra storage on longer trips. When it's time to hit the trail again, cinch down the side straps and under-lid compression for streamlined carrying.
