FLEXIBLE SIZE & ACCESS
This pack is able to compress a ton of layers while expanding upward to hold excess gear. To bring additional versatility to a rucksack format, the CHARLIE 25 incorporates a dual-access design. You can use the “cinch-top” for fast access and to compress layers, or you can unzip down the center of the bag to open into “layout” mode to see and organize all items at once.
FLEXIBLE SIZE & ACCESS
The CHARLIE 25 also features Triple-Cavity Organization. Pull open the break-out pockets and you now are looking down at three separate spaces to segment your gear, all easily accessed from up top. These compartments are perfect for separating gym clothes, trekking poles or even a huge water bottle.
COMFORT & BREATHABILITY
To maximize breathability, the back panel has a stepped design with a low point in the middle. This allows the bag to sit comfortably over your shoulder blades and lower back while allowing air to pass through the center. We also designed a composite shoulder strap with two different densities of foam to better distribute pressure over your chest and shoulders. For additional stability during biking and snow sports, there is a removable waist belt to keep the pack planted.
MATERIAL TECH
The CHARLIE 25 is made of VX21 and VX42 X-PAC™ composite laminated fabrics. These textiles are made of multiple layers of materials to keep the bag lightweight but extremely durable and water resistant. These textiles feature a durable nylon face fabric laminated to 22º X-PLY™ reinforcement and polyester film for maximum stability and weather resistance. The cinch top-is made of a 210d nylon reinforced with Spectra® Fiber for additional tensile strength and "rip -stopping".
WEATHER RESISTANT
All access points have been designed for weather resistance. All exterior panels feature water resistant YKK® Aquaguard® zippers.
AVAILABLE ORG KITS
For even more organization, purchase the additional . These two pouches are made to be organizational hubs for first aid, tech organization or dopp kit. These kits can live inside the dedicated “break-out” pockets, but, when more volume is needed, can move to the exterior to free up space inside the bag and gain fast access.
