Ready for a short hike?

Just turn it right side out and you'll have room for 16.5 liters of gear, snacks, extra clothes, valuables and 1.5 liters/50oz of water. Thanks to its lightweight materials and pack-friendly design, it's also an excellent travel bag that won't add extra weight to your pack. We've outfitted this version of the Arete 18 with additional compartments to keep your gear organized and a removable sternum strap. With its lightweight materials and reversible design, the Arete 18 is one of the most versatile backpacks we make. When not worn, it converts into an insulated hydration sleeve that keeps your water supply stable in a larger pack.
