Focal 48L Backpack

The FreeFloat system is a unique suspension design that allows the backpack to move independently from your body. This means that as you walk or hike, the backpack adjusts to your movements, providing better comfort and stability. It helps distribute the weight evenly, reducing strain on your shoulders and back, making your outdoor adventures more enjoyable.

The ComfortCradle waist belt is specifically designed to provide extra cushioning and support. It transfers the weight of the backpack from your shoulders to your hips, which is crucial when carrying heavy loads. This design minimizes fatigue and discomfort, allowing you to hike longer distances with ease.

A hydration compatible backpack is designed to hold a hydration reservoir or water bottles, making it easy to stay hydrated while on the move. These backpacks typically feature an internal sleeve for the reservoir and a tube that allows you to sip water without stopping to dig out a bottle. This convenience is essential for maintaining energy and hydration during your outdoor activities.

The drawcord closure is a simple yet effective system that uses a cord to secure the main compartment of the backpack. You can easily tighten or loosen the cord to keep your gear safe and prevent it from falling out. This design not only protects your belongings but also allows for quick access when you need to grab something on the go.

The Ice Axe Carry feature allows you to securely attach an ice axe to your backpack, which is essential for climbers and hikers who navigate icy or steep terrains. If you plan on engaging in mountaineering or winter hiking, this feature is crucial for safely transporting your ice axe, ensuring you have the right tools for challenging conditions.

Absolutely! The FreeFloat system and ComfortCradle waist belt are designed to work in harmony. While the FreeFloat system provides dynamic movement and weight distribution, the ComfortCradle waist belt offers additional support and cushioning. Together, they create a comfortable and stable carrying experience, making them ideal for long hikes and heavy loads.
