this redesigned Air Contour carry system uses a thermo-moulded back pad with integrated mesh to help disperse heat and moisture when the load or workrate increases. For a keenly tailored fit, the hydration-compatible Cholatse ND40:45 uses top tensioners, a forward-pull hip belt and a simple hook-and-loop back-length adjustment system.

Built from tough ripstop nylon with durable 420D reinforcements, the Cholatse ND40:45 also features a variety of compartments, plus multiple compression straps to keep your load stable and under control. With easy front entry, an expandable lid, plenty of lashing points and highly efficient load transfer, it is the perfect companion for four-season hillwalking, overnight bivvys and hut-to-hut adventures.

The feature-rich women’s Lowe Alpine Cholatse ND40:45 is built for agility and confidence on multi-day mountain hikes and steep, strenuous trails.
