Most backpacking packs are designed for one body type. Guess whose. Symbiosis Gear's founder got tired of watching women wrestle with packs that were just "men's small" with pink accents, so she spent years engineering something that actually fits people with boobs. The Aspen is the result — and it's kind of annoyingly good.

The S-curve shoulder straps and 3-way adjustable sternum strap aren't marketing gimmicks. They're the reason people from 5'2" to 6'1" with A cups to DDD have tried this pack and said "oh, that's what comfortable is supposed to feel like." The straps are narrower because your shoulders are narrower. Revolutionary concept, apparently.

At 1 lb 9 oz, the Aspen is ultralight without feeling like a garbage bag with strings. The body is 400D Extreema® (bluesign® approved, if that matters to you — it should), and the back pocket is Spundura UHMWPE, which is a mouthful but basically means it won't shred the first time you brush against a rock face. 38L internal, 48L total with the external pockets. Enough for multi-day trips without turning you into a pack mule.
