Mt. Holy Cross, Beaver Lake, Ptarmigan Ridge this lightweight, performance-packed Columbia Sportswear Silver Ridge 30L Backpack is the perfect accompaniment to checking off your trekking to-dos. The straps are made from Techlite, an ultra-light compound we borrowed from our footwear and molded around super-strong mesh inserts, with a soft cushioning layer on the interior for comfort. The result is unprecedented breathability and featherweight strength. When you're sweating it out on a steep uphill, your back will stay cool and dry thanks the Backdraft back panelfeaturing directional foam conduits that allow hot air to rise and be replaced by cooler air. Omni-Shield advanced repellency wards off sprinkles, and an integrated rainfly can be employed when the real rain hits. Stretch webbing makes a great stash spot for sweatshirts and rainwear, and specialized gear loops on the exterior front hold trekking poles and other essential gear.
