All contact surfaces are either breathable mesh or perforated, molded waffle foam. Your experience is a pack fit with comfortable uniform body contact and no hot spots, whether you�re bagging a fourteener, hiking the AT or pulling your next 24-hour race.


Features:

* 6005-T6 Aluminum Frame

High Roadâ„¢ Chassis

When Osprey decided to enter the world of wheeled travel we knew that we had to design the best system available. The High Road™ Chassis is the result of careful and extensive design and development. It features an ergonomic curved handle for comfortable and stable pulling, 6001 AL pack harness frame, ultra durable lightweight injection-molded ABS material, vented backpanel, extra large polyurethane wheels with sealed bearings and a high clearance design that won't get caught on bumps and curbs.

Additionally, the suspension on the High Road™ Chassis provides a backpack comfortable carry that's not just an afterthought. Finally, weights are significantly lighter than similar pieces on the market.
