A single vertical aluminum stay further bolsters the pack's load bearing capability. This design ensures your balance by effectively distributing weight. A textured, foam Airscape backpanel and IsoForm harness maximize comfort and help to reduce heat build up between your back and the pack. Further enhancing fit, the revolutionary IsoForm CM hipbelt utilizes an ErgoPull closure that draws tension along the top and the bottom of the belt. A sliding sternum strap and load lifter straps allow you to fine tune fit with on the go adjustments. Each of three available sizes of the Ariel 65 Women's pack offers torso adjustability.
