Bison 90 Backpack - 5492cu in

The Bison 90 Backpack is Tatonka's flagship trekking pack and for good reason. Built for the most demanding expeditions, the Bison has over 5400 cubic inches of space for week-long treks and cross-continental hostel trips alike. Not to mention, it also features an extremely efficient, high-performance carrying system that's designed to easily shoulder loads over 45 pounds with stability and support.

The T-Square Rip fabric makes for a construction that's as lightweight as it is strong on demanding expeditions, while the 700D Cordura base proves to be resilient when you take a break and toss this pack to the ground. The X1 carrying system fits and sits perfectly while transferring the heavy load directly to your hips thanks to its, you guessed it, X-shaped construction. An anatomically-positioned and very comfortable hip strap, load control straps, and soft, ergonomic shoulder straps are easily adjusted and allow the carrying system to give you just the right fit, while the rubberized lumbar pad and concave back padding above it ensure stability and a comfortable fit against your back.

The carrying space is divided into main and bottom compartments for easy access to all your gear without having to endlessly dig through the entire pack. Hydration-compatibility (reservoir not included) allows you to drink on the move without pulling out your water bottles, and the Hypalone handle at the bottom makes for easy carrying when you're in the airport. Attachment points for trekking poles and front gear loops deliver functionality for all of your gear, while compression straps streamline the pack's overall bulk, especially when it's stuffed to capacity. Plus, in case of an emergency, Tatonka equipped the Bison with a First Aid compartment (supplies not included) and signal whistle at the chest strap to help you get noticed.
