Kelty Women's Arch 65 Backpack

New for 2008! Fully adjustable and sporting an array of high-performance features, the Kelty Arch 65 Women's internal frame backpack is designed especially for women. With a 4000 cubic inch capacity, an innovative suspension system and supportive padding, the Arch 65 Women's pack is designed for multi-day backpacking trips. Kelty's women's packs incorporate features designed just for female users. Anatomically designed, the angled shoulder straps accommodate a woman's curvature while the conical waistbelt offers finely tuned support and comfort over the hips. Though lightweight, the Arch 65 Women's innovative Aerobeam Suspension provides maximum ventilation as well as stable support for hauling heavy loads. Rugged aluminum I-beam stays grant strength to the Arch 65 Women's pack and a mesh panel and deeply recessed air channel combine to offer 4-way ventilation. Padded shoulder straps, a padded lumbar support and a padded backpanel help to cushion the load and compress and conform to provide better fit. The height of the shoulder straps can be easily adjusted for varying torso lengths. Load-lifter straps, an adjustable, sliding sternum strap, a padded waistbelt and belt stabilizers further enhance the fit of the Arch 65 Women's pack and ensure the stability of your load, allowing convenient adjustment while on the trail. Side compression straps allow you to fully secure the contents of the pack by adjusting for heavy or light loads. The Arch 65 Women's backpack's main compartment is accessed from the top of the packbag. An integrated spindrift collar with drawstring closure extends to provide extra room for full loads. A weather-resistant zipper on the front of the Arch 65 Women's pack grants additional access to the main compartment. In addition, a large front stretch pocket provides organizational options. Zippered waterproof stretch pockets found on either side of the Arch 65 offer additional storage space. The extendible lid serves as a sizable top pocket and can be removed when not needed. A second, low-profile lid is included for use when the full capacity of the Arch 65 Women's pack isn't needed. Dual ergonomic mesh water bottle pockets, zippered waistbelt pockets and ice axe loops add versatility to the Kelty Arch 65 Women's pack. A lined interior pocket and dual built-in tube exits make the Arch 65 Women's backpack hydration compatible.
