The Southwest is a versatile backpack that is easy to adapt to a variety of backcountry activities, from trail hiking to exploring rugged off-trail environments. While the main body of the pack is built the same way as the Windrider and Junction, the Southwest features solid-fabric exterior pockets for added protection in abrasive, rocky terrain. Using lightweight, waterproof Dyneema® composite fabric and a proven, durable design, the Southwest is a lightweight and comfortable pack that offers premium performance wherever you’re headed.
KEY FEATURES:
Durable solid-fabric exterior pockets protect gear and hide contents, ensuring your items stay safe and out of sight during your adventure.
Side and over-the-top compression straps securely hold external gear, preventing shifting and keeping your load stable, no matter the terrain.
Hydroport and internal mesh sleeve provide easy access to water, making it simple to stay hydrated on the go without slowing down.
