Leopard A.C. 58 Backpack

Weekend trips in the alpine call for Granite Gear's ultralight Leopard A.C. 58 Backpack. Its Air Current suspension system keeps you prime on the ascent, with a 3D-molded alloy frame for support, torso-length adjustments for a perfect fit, padded shoulder straps for comfort, and a replaceable waist belt for convenience. The roll-top closure helps keep the elements at bay, and the removable top lid makes an excellent daypack once you make it up there.

The Leopard A.C. also features a sleeve for your hydration reservoir, and there's a port to keep your tube close-by. The front flap is compatible with Granite Gear's Crampon Holster, and Axe Cinches store ice axes. There's an internal mesh pocket for dirties, stretch woven pockets for wands, gear loops at the waist belt, and compression straps for a secure and well-organized trip.
