OSPREY VARIANT 52 BACKPACK

On the Grand Traverse in the Grand Teton National Park, or a backcountry expedition to the Canadian Rockies, the Osprey 52 Variant Backpack is ideal for alpine climbing or expedition mountaineering with its organized, sleek shape, removable framesheet and durable nylon exterior fabric. The thermo-formed, contoured backpanel gives the Variant extra comfort and snow shedding capabilities, and a removable HDPE framesheet with aluminum tubing gives you the option to drop weight and bulk.

This top loader also features a removable top pocket and a variety of gear specific loops—from ski carry loops to ice tool attachments—along with tool tie-offs and three haul loops for easy lugging.

The hipbelt is removable and you can store your crampons in the crampon pocket on the front panel of the pack. Light and sleek, the Variant 52 weighs in at two pounds, three ounces in size medium.
