The Arete Ki is a modernized version of the classic top-loading rucksack built to fit women. Its draw-cord top closure and dual side release top compression straps are ideal for cinching down your climbing rope. The front compression panel snugs down as you tighten the side compression straps, allowing you to securely stow the gear you want on the outside of your pack, such as a shovel or Crazy Creek chair. The Arete Ki's comfortable harness system features many details not found in other rucksacks (see inside). Weather you're peak bagging or picnicking, the Arete Ki is sure to be your trusted companion for years to come.
