The Cascade pack is designed for the serious backpacker. The tubular lightweight frame replaces traditional aluminum stays and allows the pack to sit closer to your body for better weight positioning. The extendable top loading lid, full-access lower compartment and large front zipper, provide convenient access and organization for your gear. The removable top pocket doubles as a fanny pack, providing lightweight option to carry your essential gear as you explore. The lightweight design, large storage capacity and all the extra features of the Cascade 90 is all you will need for your next cross-country adventure.
