Ergonomic Internal-Frame Design

Reminiscent of the Kelty quality, this women’s backpack sports an ergonomic design well suited to female anatomy. Included in the construction is a high-density polyethylene frame-sheet combined with incredibly lightweight II aluminum beam stays. Also included in the design is CloudLock II suspension that helps with stability, shock absorption and load support in the most crucial moments. Some highlights of the design are:
The shoulder straps can be slid easily and therefore various torso lengths can be accommodated through strap-and-stick adjustment.

Dual-density, contoured hip-belt employs reliable HDPE reinforcement. This releaves the excess pressure on the hips and helps with comfortable load support.
Sternum straps, load-lifter straps and stabilizer belt helps to balance you pack evenly.
The increased tightening pressure on the hip-belt can be attributed to Kelty’s patented Scherer cinch technology.
Specially developed hip-belt padding comes into alignment very well with a woman backpackers hipbones.
