The Stage 18 is a versatile MTB backpack designed to carry everything essential for challenging tours – and thanks to its excellent fit, it feels almost weightless on your back, allowing for plenty of freedom of movement! The revised Air Flow Contact System ensures optimal load distribution and protects against overheating with its unique ventilation concept featuring wide ventilation channels and a spacious mesh. The backpack, which includes a quickly accessible tool compartment, hydration reservoir pocket, and glasses compartment, is designed to sit close to the body to prevent shifting of the load, allowing you to focus entirely on the trail. Practical compression straps help secure your belongings even further. Its brilliant fit is enhanced by the finely adjustable chest strap, the special body-hugging construction, and the ventilated Airo Flex hip belt. Additionally, the updated Brace Link allows the shoulder straps to better adapt to the individual shoulder width of the wearer. For extra comfort, the optimized seam positioning reduces friction and pressure points. Other features include an emergency plan, helmet holder, rain cover, rear light clip, key clip, signal whistle, and a clip for the drinking tube.
