Great deal on little-used SMD Essence pack – $40.

3,200 cu. in. Only 13 oz.! See great review at 

The Essence Pack provides no less than six exterior pockets, including a Top Pocket.

Interior access is gained by Front Loading, which allows easy access to all of your interior gear. This eliminates the need to unpack your pack to access buried items. A simple draw string closure eliminates heavy and troublesome zippers.

A Weather Flap over the opening provides excellent weather protection by easily shedding rain. Bulky clothes can be quickly stowed under the Weather Flap for safe keeping. Two levels of compression control allows the pack to expand or compress your loads as needed.

Dual Hip Belt Pockets provide quick access to camera, GPS, snacks, sun screen, etc.. At 45 cubic inches each, these pockets are sized to be useful. Three side Mesh Pockets (including one long pocket and two short ones), complete the quick access storage provide by the pack.

Three interior webbing straps work together to constrain your sleeping pad in place, thus allowing the pad to function as an internal frame. This creates a virtual frame that provides load transfer from your shoulders to your hips and a more comfortable carry.

• <u>Advanced Suspension System</u> keeps your sleeping pad rigid, allowing it to transfer weight off your shoulders and onto your hips.
• Panel Loading for quick access to all of the gear in your pack.
• Dual Compression System to better control your load and pack configuration.
• Top Lid Pocket for storing quick access items like your maps, hat, gloves and personal items.
• Three Exterior Mesh pockets for quick access to gear.
• Two Large Hip Belt Pockets for quick access to your camera, GPS, snacks, etc.
• Ice Axe Loop
• Hydration Port provides access to interior water bladder.
