The new STAGE 18 is a versatile MTB backpack for everything you need on the most demanding tours, almost without noticing it thanks to its first-class fit and thus its wide freedom of movement! The updated AIR FLOW CONTACT system allows for ideal weight distribution and makes overheating less of a problem thanks to its exclusive ventilation concept with large air channels and wide-mesh back material. The backpack with a tool compartment for quick access, a hydration system compartment, and a sunglasses pocket adheres closely to the body to prevent unexpected load shifts, so you can focus completely on the trail. The practical straps also support gear compression. The fit is further enhanced by the precisely adjustable chest strap, the special BODY HUGGING construction, and the ventilated AIRO FLEX lumbar belt. And thanks to the improved BRACE LINK, the shoulder straps adapt even better to the wearer's shoulder width. The optimized seam layout also ensures extra comfort, as it results in less friction and pressure points. Additional features: EMERGENCY PLAN, HELMET CARRIER, RAIN COVER, REAR LIGHT CLIP, KEY RING, SIGNAL WHISTLE, and hydration tube clip.
