Elbrus ND has refined back panel, harness and hip belt designed specifically for women. These changes mean the pack fits better, but still works just as hard, carries as much weight and boosts the same impressive features as the men’s version. The Elbrus ND is a great entry-level pack, perfect for those of you making your first tentative steps into the world of backpacking. The 2014 model has been updated to include Lowe Alpine's Axiom Back System, an exclusive new technology that ensure a perfect fit every time.
