Constructed with cool, compressible material the Arete 18 can work solo for short hikes and be easily packed away for spur-of-the-moment adventures. Even though our new hike pack compresses to pack away during an endurance hike, this versatile hike pack still packs a punch: with room for a 15” laptop and zip pockets in top lid, you'll have all the essentials for a hiking commute.

We consider your comfort an essential worker, so you'll enjoy breathable air mesh panels and straps designed to keep you cool even on the hottest hikes. Pack plenty of hydration with our 1.5L Crux® Reservoir and two side stretch pockets and maintain long-term stability with the adjustable sternum strap.
