Streamlined and adventure ready, the Zephyr 45 carries everything for an overnight to Elfin Lakes or the Bruce Peninsula. The trampoline-style suspension system creates space between your back and the pack, so cool air can flow through. Plus, you get a padded and contoured hipbelt and shoulder straps with an integrated whistle for safety. The top-loading design features a removeable floating lid, zippered sleeping bag compartment access, hydration compatibility, and trekking pole/ice axe loops. This fully equipped pack keeps life convenient on the trail or at your backcountry home away from home.
