Design features:

Breathable Back - this ventilation system provides excellent breathability of the backpack back. Improved ventilation and air circulation occurs due to a special open cellular structure of the padding polymer material in combination with a durable mesh with an increased cell diameter.

Trekking poles holder (1) - holders for trekking poles are placed at the top and bottom of the façade of a trekking backpack and, as a rule, are a combination of lower loops and upper elastic tightening cords with a lock. Less often, the lower loops are replaced with the same tightening cords. Such holders allow you to securely fix trekking poles and not load the interior space of the backpack with them. This backpack has one pair of fastenings for one or two trekking poles, combined with fastenings for an ice axe.

Inside Holders - the so-called internal holders are two narrow straps with a Velcro textile fastener, placed on the sides of the backpack's back from the inside. These holders are used to securely fix such equipment as folding trekking poles, an avalanche probe, an avalanche shovel, an axe, etc. inside. It is especially convenient to use internal holders when the terrain or the complexity of the hike do not allow you to place attachments outside the backpack.

Gear Loops - Special large loops on the backpack, designed for hanging additional equipment. The loops are made of durable nylon straps, folded in half and stitched to ensure greater reliability, and most importantly, ease of hanging and quickly removing equipment such as flasks, cups, mountaineering quickdraws, mountaineering carabiners, etc.

Removable Belt - this system involves the presence of a hip belt, which is threaded and fixed in special two-slot straps on the sides of the backpack. Depending on the specific use of the backpack, the hip belt can be easily detached or attached to the backpack, changing the functionality of the backpack from urban to hiking, or lightening the overall weight.

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 the necessary compartment for placement and a loop for attaching a drinking system, as well as all the necessary holes and clamps for fixing the drinking tube. 

Chest Strap Whistle - instead of the usual fastex on the chest strap of the backpack, a fastex with a built-in whistle is placed. The whistle allows you to give identification signals to determine the location, as well as give audible SOS. In extreme conditions, the voice is not always strong enough to give a signal of the required volume, and the whistle, which is very convenient, is always at hand.

SOS instructions - inside the backpack there is a patch or a table with instructions on the rules for visual or sound transmission of international distress signals, as well as on signaling that assistance is not required. The instructions provide rules for signaling aircraft, mountain rescue services, as well as emergency service phone numbers in Europe and the USA.

Reflective - to identify skiers and climbers at night, as well as in poor visibility conditions, elements with a reflective coating are required to be placed on the front of the backpack. Such reflective elements will help to identify the backpack in an emergency from a distance of several hundred meters using a search light.
