Ferrino Dry-Hike 32 OutDry Black Travel Backpack

The waterproof level of 10,000 mm of water column for a textile backpack has become real thanks to the patented OutDry 3D technology. This membrane technology is used in the Ferrino Dry-Hike 32 OutDry Black backpack. The pocket in the valve has a zipper with a water barrier, and the neck of the main compartment is folded, fixed with fastexes and sealed, so the backpack is 100% waterproof. Ferrino Dry-Hike 32 OutDry Black is mainly intended for ski trips and active mountaineering, but is perfect for hikers looking for a waterproof backpack with a large margin of safety. The main emphasis in the development of the backpack was on maximum protection and durability. In addition to 100% waterproofness, the backpack's reliability is achieved through the use of durable materials (reinforced at six points with Hypalon® pads) and the best fittings (YKK, Duraflex, WooJin). The DNS suspension system provides better ventilation of the back. The main compartment of the backpack has an internal exhaust adjustment valve and is devoid of pockets. Thus, with a nominal volume of 32 liters, this model is characterized by a large capacity due to the spacious internal compartment and wide entrance neck. The backpack developers made sure that you would not be left without water on a hike and provided both side voluminous pockets for flasks and a separate deep pocket with a clasp, which can be used for other purposes. The top valve is equipped with a zippered pocket with a carabiner for keys. Fastening the necessary additional equipment and gear in the most convenient position will not be a problem: a sufficient number of compression straps, loops and fasteners are provided for this. The central fasteners with an aluminum hook are very practical in terms of quickly unfastening the backpack.

With more than a century of experience in the production of equipment for tourism, Ferrino does not rest on its laurels, continuing to dictate even higher standards of tourist equipment. For this purpose, in 1994 a special high-altitude laboratory was built to test products in real conditions. For decades, the company has been cooperating with outstanding climbers (such as Reinhold Messner), researchers, speleologists, who, using Ferrino products, conquered all the highest points of the planet, crossed 20,000 km of Antarctica on foot at extremely low temperatures down to -70 ° C, descended for 80 minutes into the very depths of the earth, into the Cueva de los Cristales cave, where at a temperature of + 58 ° C and 100% humidity a person could not previously stay for more than 20 minutes even in special equipment. Ferrino is rightfully proud of its achievements and ensures the quality and functionality of its products at the highest level.

Design features:

OutDry®- Water Not Included ™ - a patented technology that ensures 100% waterproofness of the backpack. Thanks to the patented process of internal lamination of the fabric with a membrane at a certain temperature and pressure, it is possible to achieve a 3D effect of covering all joints and seams. The membrane and fabric become one. Thanks to this, the level of waterproofness of the backpack is 10,000 mm (including at the seams and at every point where there is potential penetration of moisture). At the same time, the backpack fabric "breathes" and removes moisture, which is important on long hikes.

Dry Net System Back - a fully ventilated back, the air permeability of which is ensured by the presence of curved metal plates of the frame, creating free space for air circulation between the back and the back of the backpack. The frame is stretched with a mesh, providing additional rigidity to the entire structure. The mesh, together with soft waist and shoulder pads, provide comfort for the back and spine during walking, running, or active mountaineering.

Gear Loops - a special large loop located on the waist belt of the backpack, designed for hanging additional equipment. The loop is made of durable nylon webbing, folded in half and stitched to ensure greater reliability, and most importantly, ease of hanging and quickly removing equipment such as climbing quickdraws, climbing carabiners, etc.

Compatible H2O Bag - this backpack is compatible with and can be equipped with a branded Ferrino hydration system with a capacity of one, two or three liters, or any other drinking system of the corresponding capacity. The backpack has a separate compartment for placing a drinking system, which is closed with a Velcro textile fastener, as well as all the necessary openings and clips for fixing the drinking tube.
