The Apex Guide 35 is designed for full days with dawn starts, steep approaches, and strenuous technical ascents and descents. Carrying a pack causes the body to sweat as it works to lower its temperature. This can leave you with your back and shoulders soaked with perspiration and at risk of overcooling. The Apex Guide, with its air permeable Dry Back Contact carrying system, solves this problem. It lowers the temperature at the central back and limits sweating thanks to its reduced body contact surface area, along with a built-in micro-ventilation system with 3D air channels that permits greater airflow get to the back.

The Apex Guide features smart solutions that make it a go-to mountaineering pack. Made from robust Robic®, a special, high-tenacity nylon that is 60% more rock- and tear-resistant than conventional nylon pack fabrics, this puppy will withstand everything from seasonal missions to endless hauling pitches. The roll top system allows easy volume adjustment to stabilize and center the load. And the proven split shoulder strap system allows greater arm mobility, including with overhead moves.
