Arc'teryx Khamsin 70 Backpack:
On an extended weekend alpine ascent, every ounce of weight is scrutinized and versatility is a necessity. The Arc'teryx Khamsin 70 is a well balanced mid-sized backpack that exceeds these requirements. Loaded with alpine features and highly modular, the Khamsin 70 can be expanded to support 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, pivoting thermoformed hipbelt, and removable dual density framesheet 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.
