Cascade 90L Pack

When you're shouldering a week's worth of gear, you want a weatherproof backpack that has load-carrying technology dialed. Macpac made the Cascade 90L Pack with a system that relieves pressure on your butt muscles and shifts weight onto your hips. Macpac moved the Cascade backpack's pivot point from the usual base-of-the-spine position to a point higher up where your back naturally flexes. This works with the hip-belt and flexible aluminum shoulder tracks so the Cascade backpack feels stable and moves with you. A freeload transfer system lets you position this pack's rods in a neutral position for steep scrambling (so the weight transfers a bit to your shoulders for balance) and in a full position for maximum load transfer back to your hips on neutral ground.

Bottom Line: Dry gear and a happy back.

Talk shop with all the gear freaks out there: ask 'em questions, upload/browse photos, and give your 2¢.

You measure from your C7 vertebrae (the one that sticks out the most on the back of your neck) to the top of your iliac crest (hips). It helps to have someone else do it so you get the most accurate measurement instead of contorting yourself.
