COMFORT FOR THE LONG HAUL
The Beast28 is designed to move with you, offering all-day comfort and flexibility with movement. The flexible frame suspension system distributes your pack evenly from shoulders to hips, while the waist and sternum strap offer a customized fit to your body and support for heavy loads.
PACKS DOWN FOR TRAVEL
The Beast28 quickly and easily packs down small for efficient travel. Simply twist and fold the pack in half and secure inside the included compression sack. Unpack the bag and the spring steel frame will restore the shape of the pack instantly.
FLEXIBLE FRAME SUSPENSION
The Beast28 features an innovative spring steel frame, which allows for both structure and packability. The flexible frame suspension provides comfort and torsion with movement, for an agile fit that moves with you and distributes loads evenly. When not in use, simply twist and fold the frame, and secure into the compression sack. The spring steel frame bounces back into its original shape when released.
ORGANIZATION ON THE TRAIL
The main compartment features an asymmetrical clamshell zipper, making it easy to access the larger items at the bottom of your pack. An oversized front compartment extends to the bottom of the pack, while a zippered pocket inside protects your smaller items. Safely store valuable items in the small interior pocket with keyloop.
HYDRATION COMPATIBLE
An internal hydration sleeve accommodates most 1-3 liter reservoirs, with hose routing features on both shoulder straps for a customized fit.
STOW FOR TRANSIT
