Nature Calls Backpacking

Handy in town, on trails and for short hikes away from basecamp, this little pack cleverly converts into a stuff sack when you turn it inside out.

    Removable back panel pad doubles as a sit pad
    Hipbelt and sternum strap can also be detached
    Sternum-strap buckle doubles as a safety whistle
    Hydration-compatible design includes a hose exit port and an internal sleeve for a reservoir (sold separately)
    Drawcord closure fully covers the top opening when cinched tight
    Pack has an inner zip pocket and 2 daisy chains outside
