« Item   Item » Osprey Ariel 65 Pack, Women's Check your local REI store for certified custom molding. Dual-entry side mesh pockets keep essentials easily accessible, and a built-in front mesh pocket accepts Osprey Excessories for added capacity. ErgoPull hipbelt closure provides extra leverage in cinching, drawing tension along top and bottom--not through the center--relieving hipbone pressure. Externally accessible bottom compartment accommodates all types of sleeping bags. Front compression wings let you securely compress the contents of the pack, whether full or nearly empty, without sag or load distortion. High-density polyurethane (HDPE) framesheet and a single aluminum stay protect your back from bulky or pointy items and support heavy loads. Hydration-compatible design features reservoir sleeve and dual drink tube exit port for on-the-go hydration (reservoir sold separately). IsoForm dual-density foam harness with Spacer Mesh promotes airflow and wicks away moisture during warm weather and intense activity. Osprey Ariel 65 is a superb, lightweight, women's mountaineering pack for backcountry trips, featuring a shorter torso and a custom-moldable hipbelt. Providing superior load support is the women's IsoForm CM (Custom Moldable) hipbelt, a 3D dual-density foam designed to fit the female hip structure. Running down the sidewall, the peripheral rods anchor to load lifters and hipbelt, actively transferring load and resisting sag. Ski straps, ice axe tool loops, sleeping pad straps and extendable lid accommodate a variety of alpine gear. The new AirScape Suspension uses peripheral rods, a nubbed foam back panel and an internal framesheet. Top pocket can be removed and converted into a lumbar pack; IsoForm hipbelt on pack can be removed and slid onto lumbar pack for comfortable carrying. Top-loading pack shaves weight with its lightweight yet tough 210-denier high-tenacity double-ripstop nylon construction. More info + price
