Traverse 35 Pack

You're looking for a weatherproof day/overnight, but not one that feels like you have a diver's oxygen tank strapped to your back. Macpac understands, and it made the Traverse 35 Pack with a full lumbar pad and a weight-transferring framesheet. The framesheet siphons the weight from your shoulders and places it on the hip-belt, while hip-fin stabilizer straps on the hip-belt cinch the load and reduces lateral sway as you hike over loose rock and wet trails. The Traverse 35 backpack's back panel uses AirMesh fabric and a center panel to help prevent back sweat. Weatherproof AzTec fabric and Rainshadow seam construction protect your gear during rainstorms.

Bottom Line: Comfortable, weatherproof, durable.

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

Amazing. I'm a traveler and have long shopped for the largest, most comfortable bag I can carry-on an airplane. This is it. I'm 5'11" and the size 3 fits very well. The bag is larger than its specs suggest; I'd say it packs about 3000 cubic inches, mostly in one central pouch. I will use no other.

Is this pack made in New Zealand or has it been outsourced?

I think all of Macpac's gear is manufactured in China these days, although they'll still repair things within NZ. This has been the case for about 3-4 years now. Macpac's spin on this is on their website at http://www.macpac.co.nz/go/manufacturing

Huge pack

I received the size 3 in the mail - it's huge for a 40 litre pack. In fact, the top of the pack was like a headrest-which I hated. So I returned it. The quality of the pack is great though. I'd consider the size 2 (even though my torso length is 19") but don't want to chance the pack not fitting again.

The Aztec material is more durable than it is waterproof. The seems and zipper are sealed. The Aztec fabric is polyester+cotton. They claim once the cotton portion gets wet, it fills in the empty spaces by expanding . in short, Aztec fabric must be wet to be completely waterproof.

Great pack. I got the size 2 and it works just right for my 4'll" female frame. Very comfortable to wear and will hold a lot! Small compartments make it easy for traveling and stashing important things. I am impressed with the workmanship.

The zipper is waterproof and the seams are taped. The Aztec material is a cotton/poly blend. The cotton has to be wet to fill in the airspaces between the two fabrics.
