The new, ultralight Arete 18 hike pack is ready for short haul adventures and long-distance treks. Lightweight, breathable, and constructed from compressible material, the Arete 18 is perfect for day hikes and can be packed down to next to nothing if you’re traveling abroad. Plus, you can remove the reservoir and store up to a 15″ laptop securely with plenty of extra cargo space left over for all your other essentials.

Compress it down when you need to go the extra distance, or pack it away before your flight, our versatile Arete 18 hike pack can do it all. With room for a 15″ laptop and zip pockets for extra storage in the top lid, you’ll have all the essentials you need no matter where you’re headed. The breathable air mesh panels and straps are designed to keep you cool even on the hottest hikes, and you’ll always have plenty of hydration close at hand thanks to the 1.5L Crux Reservoir. Plus, the two side stretch pockets let you stash an extra water bottle for even longer adventures. Made with recycled materials, safer chemicals, and designed to preserve resources and diminish disposables, it’s earned our Repurpose Gold Sustainability Badge.
