Why We Like The Kalmia 50L Backpack
The Kalmia 50L Backpack is our go-to backpack for multi-day adventures. Its advanced fit and customization options make it the perfect choice for any body type. The adjustable torso length and hipbelt ensure ultimate comfort, allowing us to trek for days without any discomfort or hotspots.
One standout feature of this backpack is Gregory's suspended mesh backpanel, which provides a breathable and odor-free fit throughout the entire journey. We appreciate the attention to detail with the Polygiene StaysFresh treatment on the back panel, ensuring that odors are kept at bay.
In terms of storage, the Kalmia 50L Backpack excels. With three different access points, we can easily reach whatever we need on the trail or at our basecamp. Whether it's our trekking poles, hydration reservoir, or other gear, the adjustable attachment loops have us covered.
