Ariel 55 - Kipling - Grey

Start by loosely loading your pack. Then, adjust the torso length. Cinch the `Custom Fit-on-the-Fly Hipbelt` securely around your hips, ensuring it carries most of the pack's weight. Finally, tighten the `Shoulder Straps` and load lifters for a snug, comfortable feel. Fine-tune until the pack moves with you, providing optimal balance.

The pack features a PFC-free DWR finish to repel light moisture. For heavy rain or prolonged exposure, always deploy the `Included raincover`, which is specifically designed to provide robust weather protection for the entire pack.

`bluesign`-approved materials signify that the product was manufactured using methods that conserve resources, minimize environmental impact, and protect worker health and safety throughout the supply chain, ensuring a more sustainable product.

Hand wash with a mild soap and cold water. Use a soft brush or cloth for stubborn spots. Rinse thoroughly and hang to air dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight. Do not machine wash, bleach, iron, or tumble dry, as these methods can damage the material and DWR coating.

Yes, the `Floating top lid` includes `lash points` for securing items like sleeping pads, tents, or other bulky gear. The `front shove-it pocket` can also hold a jacket or similar item for quick access, and side compression straps can secure items further.

The Ariel 55 is ideal for multi-day hiking, backpacking trips, and extended travel where comfort, a customizable fit, and ample, organized storage are essential. Its robust design and thoughtful features support various outdoor adventures.

The pack features `Large dual-access stretch mesh side water bottle pockets` on both sides. This design allows you to easily retrieve and re-stow your water bottles from either the top opening or a side opening while wearing the pack, providing convenient hydration access.

Re-adjust the `Custom Fit-on-the-Fly Hipbelt`, `Shoulder Straps`, and torso length. Ensure the hipbelt is carrying most of the weight, and the shoulder straps provide a snug fit without digging in. Refer to the setup guide for proper adjustment and distribute contents evenly.

Utilize the `Large front panel zip access` for main compartment items. For frequently needed items, use the `Fabric reinforced front shove-it pocket` or the `Large dual-access stretch mesh side water bottle pockets`.

Ensure the `Included raincover` is properly deployed over the entire pack. While the DWR helps repel water, for heavy or prolonged rain, the raincover provides superior protection. Check if the raincover has any tears or damage.

The `injection-moulded backpanel` is designed for breathability. Ensure your fit adjustments are correct, as an overly tight pack can sometimes restrict airflow. Take breaks to allow air circulation and consider layering appropriate clothing.
