The Cloud Walker 18L
For a full day out on the trail, our compact Cloud Walker 18 hiking pack sports a clean, technical aesthetic and features designed to keep you cool, hydrated and all your gear organized. The main compartment is accessed via an asymmetrical zipper that enables easy access and prevents cargo from spilling out when fully open. In addition to our industry-leading 2 litre Antidote Reservoir you get two mesh side pockets for keeping essentials close at hand. For comfort, the Air Channel back panel with its center-channel ventilation and wicking mesh pods will keep you cool. Integrated lashing points are great for attaching extra cargo and gear. Three-point compression straps keep your load stable.
The Women's Sequoia Hydration Pack 18L
This top-of-line women's outdoor pack is ideal for done-in-a-day adventures that take you over changing terrain. The Sequoia 18 features a large main compartment, overflow pocket, front organizational pocket, two stretch side pockets for quick access to essentials, and an easy-access fleece-lined pocket for your sunglasses, smartphone or other valuables. The pack comes with a 3-litre Antidote reservoir, and the revolutionary NV back panel features ventilated pods that move with your body, so your back stays cool and your load is always positioned comfortably. CamelBak also added a lumbar pod that fits into your lower back for more stability when you're carrying a heavy load. The women's-specific design also includes a harness that curves comfortably around your chest, plus velvetex-lined straps that won't chafe against bare skin.
