Pajak HD3 - Hiking Backpack

"There is no room for chance in the mountains u2014 any decision can affect your safetyu2014. An icy wall in front of you, an abyss behind you u2014 now is no time to search for equipment or rummage in your rucksacku2014. You know exactly where your ice axe is. You grab it in one smooth movement without taking off your rucksack. You breathe easy. The HD3 is designed for those who move in a vertical world and can't afford to make sudden movements. For those who count every gram, every movement and every second. Its design allows you to act quickly so that you can focus exclusively on your goal. The harness features a gear loop and a spacious pocket for small but important accessories such as energy gels, compass or phone. The attachment system for two ice axes allows access without removing the backpack. We have also added daisy chains for easy attachment of carabiners and webbing slings. Robust haul loops allow the backpack to be secured in difficult terrain, pulled through narrow rock passages or used as an additional anchor point when additional support is required. Avalanche equipment must not be buried at the bottom of the backpack. A detachable avalanche safety pocket ensures immediate access to shovel and probe. Two pulls to the main compartment u2014 a roll-top closure and a back panel entry u2014 allow quick access to important equipment without having to unpack everythingu2014. For added safety, we have equipped the HD3 with a Recco system that reflects a rescue signal so that search teams can find you faster, even under the snow. It requires no batteries or activation. No matter how much gear you stow or how you arrange it, the HD3 remains stableu2014 it won't sway, tilt or shift its center of gravity, even in difficult terrainu204nde. Side compression straps with metal buckles allow you to adjust the volume, secure the load and prevent unwanted movement. The backpack is designed to keep the weight close to the body for better control and unrestricted freedom of movement. The hip belt can be removed if you need greater mobility, for example on a climbing tour or a quick ascent. However, for long tours with a heavy load, it helps to distribute the weight evenly and reduce the strain on the back and shoulders"
