Product Information
Full details
The Vango Sherpa 60:70 Short Back is designed for hikers and backpackers with shorter torso lengths (46-56cm) who require a high-capacity, durable pack for multi-day expeditions. Its primary strength lies in the highly adjustable Self Adjust Back System, which ensures a precise, weight-distributed fit for smaller frames, though its heavy-duty construction means it is slightly heavier than ultralight alternatives.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the pack, adjust the Self Adjust Back System until the harness sits comfortably on your shoulders with the hip belt resting firmly on your iliac crest. Ensure all straps are tightened to secure the load. This pack is compatible with standard hydration reservoirs. For care, wipe down the exterior with a damp cloth after use to remove dirt and salt. If the pack becomes very muddy, hand-wash in cool water with a mild soap. Always store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent UV degradation of the ripstop fabric.
