Loaded with alpine features and highly modular, this pack can be extended to deliver 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, removable hipbelt with thermoformed hip pods, removable hip belt gear loops, removable dual density framesheet, and removable/extendable lid 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.

Simply the best!
The Khasim 50 is the best choice for my 2-3 days expeditions. It has plenty of space and items are easy to find when I need them. Very comfortable to carry, and built to last.

This back pack is sick, super comfortable
This back pack is sick, super comfortable .It's recommended to carry reservoirs in the lid for easy refill access, and hoses can be run out at the zipper junction.
