Over 3000 cu. in. of capacity & practical features for the adventurer with wide-ranging interests.

For day trips with big aspirations or overnight adventures ranging from mellow trail excursions to fast-paced climbs the versatile Mountain Hardware Trance Backpack is equipped to handle your varied loads. A padded suspension system transfers the load evenly to the hips and shoulders offering comfort that stays with you all day. The EVA backpanel which slides in immediately in front of a shape-maintaining HDPE framesheet doubles as a 38 inch bivy pad for those who are especially concerned about shaving ounces. But perhaps you are more inclined to make your sleeping arrangements as comfortable as possible choosing instead to use the handy front release straps to attach a sleeping pad. These straps also work for crampons and skis with an alternative crampon storage location provided underneath the floating top lid. For further load carrying efficiency the Trance includes dual Axe-S™ quick release ice axe toggles reinforced haul loops and an optional 1.5 inch web belt with gear loops. If a similar pack only a little bit smaller would better suit your needs be sure to look at the Mountain Hardware Phenom Backpack.
