Arc'teryx Khamsin 50 Backpack
On an extended weekend alpine ascent, when every ounce of weight and versatility is scrutinized, the Arc'teryx Khamsin 50 is a well balanced mid-sized designed that traverses the requirements. Loaded with alpine features and highly modular, this pack can be extended to deliver a monster payload, and then stripped down and compressed for light forays, or a summit bid. When fully loaded, the V-frame suspension, removable aluminum stays, removable hipbelt with thermoformed hip pods, removable hip belt gear loops, removable dual density framesheet, and removable/extendable lid pack a whole lot of carrying comfort. Strip it all down, and it converts to a summit pack with just the necessities to tag the top.
