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 Love the Rab Aeon Ultra 28L Backpack

Made specifically for the toughest mountain adventurers, the Rab Aeon Ultra 28L Backpack is the ultimate companion for speed hikers, fast-packers, and mountain runners.

We especially appreciate its precise fit, thanks to the body-hugging Air Contour X back system, wrap-around hip belt, and dual sternum straps. These features keep our load stable and close to our bodies, minimizing slipping and bouncing on challenging terrains.

For those of us who prefer to keep moving, the Aeon Ultra offers a range of accessible stash pockets on the hip belt and harness. This allows us to effortlessly grab our flasks, snacks, gels, lip balm, and devices while on the go.

With its optimal size, this backpack is ideal for all-day endurance challenges, hut-to-hut hikes with ultralight gear, and long-distance routes where emergency clothing and a minimalist sleep system, such as a tarp or bivy, are essential.
