Providing maximum balance, with anatomically shaped back panel allows the hipbelt to rotate and react relative to your spine while the lightweight sprung steel frame of the Cerro Torre 75:95 XL flexes and rotates with your torso. Enhancing comfort, high performance rebound foam on the inside of the lumbar pad responds to the natural curve of your lower back and provides extra support for heavy loads.
