I'm Abigail Scott, an author, adventurer, and mother of three. When I'm not navigating the beautiful chaos of motherhood, you can find me tackling the turbulent waters as a professional whitewater kayaker or scaling impressive rock faces as a climbing guide. The rush of adrenaline, whether from kayaking or climbing, is a feeling I cherish deeply. But the thrill doesn't stop there; I capture the breathtaking allure of nature through my lens as a professional photographer. And when I'm not submerged in the wild, my software engineering skills amplify my outdoor pursuits, allowing me to harness technology in unique ways. Through my writings, whether articles or blog posts, I share not just my adventures but my heart, hoping to spark a flame of inspiration in others to break boundaries and experience the world's wonders.

Description

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.

  • Feminine fit and adjustable sizing specifically designed for backpacking
  • Sized perfectly for long weekend expeditions lasting three to four days
  • Ventilated and suspended backpanel provides an ultimate fit and comfort
