3G AK70 (RT)

£499.00

The AK70 is a large expedition pack suitable for climbs in the Greater Ranges. It can manage a heavy payload of 28–35 kgs in tolerable comfort (we are not going to pretend that this is ever an enjoyable amount to carry), but still remains light enough to be used for a summit push. Its large volume is ideal for stuffing bulky, frozen gear into whilst semi brain-dead from oxygen deprivation and encumbered with big clumsy mitts. As well as being remarkably light for such a capacious pack, the AK70 is substantial enough to impart a feeling of solidity and security.

The AK70 employs a roll-top closure system under the hood, allowing it to be used without the (fully removable) lid if required. Uniquely within the AK range, the AK70 also features a dual-wrap hip belt. Although not heavily padded or particularly large, this transfers the load onto the hips very effectively and enables heavy loads to be carried with some small modicum of comfort.

The AK70 is available in three back lengths: 1 (women), 2 (medium) and 3 (tall). Size 1 is only available in red.
