FEATURES
Description:

The CDT continues to be a proven backpack, suitable for thru-hikes, dayhikes, and any distance backcountry forays. The current CDT continues the tradition of being a reliable, lightweight, durable backcountry companion.

Contoured shoulder straps and a re-designed hipbelt result in a comfortable carry, while (5) external pockets aid in easily accessed on-trail organization.

Bottom Line? A comfortable, durable, highly functional ruck.
