Why We Like The Big Agnes Prospector 50L Backpack
Big Agnes has impressed us with their entry into the backpack market, and what stands out about the Prospector 50L Backpack is its lightweight design and commitment to the environment. This pack is designed to be light and comfortable, ensuring a balanced load regardless of the weight. The Open Range Hip Belt, situated behind the Load Wrangler back panel, efficiently transfers the weight to the lumbar. Additionally, the cut-to-fit hip belt snugly fits the body to eliminate gaps. Improved compression system pulls weight inward and upward for secure and positive load transfer.
