Osprey Mutant 52L Backpack: Your Unwavering Partner for High-Alpine Pursuits

Conquer every summit and navigate the most demanding mountain environments with the Osprey Mutant 52L backpack. Meticulously designed for year-round alpine climbing, ice climbing, and ski mountaineering, this pack is the definitive choice for guides and adventurers who require absolute reliability and streamlined performance. Its versatile design makes it an exceptional companion for technical Hiking and multi-day expeditions where every gram and feature counts.

The Mutant 52 is engineered to be a true quiver-of-one, adapting seamlessly to the needs of your objective. For the long approach, its 52-liter capacity (within the 51-60 L range) comfortably hauls a full rack, ropes, and expedition gear. When it´s time for the final summit push, strip it down by removing key components for a lighter, more agile ascent pack that moves with you, not against you.

Key Benefits for the Modern Mountaineer:

* Unmatched Versatility: Go from a fully-featured expedition pack to a minimalist summit pack in minutes. The removable top lid, side compression, and adaptable frame system allow you to customize the pack´s weight and profile for any adventure.
* Climb-Specific Ergonomics: Designed for a Unisex and Adult fit, the harness and hipbelt are shaped to stay clear of a climbing harness. The reverse-wrap, stowable hipbelt provides stability with heavy loads and tucks away cleanly when you´re roped up.
* All-Conditions Performance: The durable, snow-shedding backpanel prevents ice and snow buildup, keeping you drier and more comfortable in harsh weather. Glove-friendly buckles and zipper pulls ensure you can access your gear without exposing your hands to the elements.
* Secure and Intelligent Gear Carry: Your critical tools are always within reach and securely stowed. The dual ToolLock™ system provides best-in-class ice axe attachment, while the reinforced A-frame ski carry, rope attachment system, and front panel daisy chains offer multiple options for external gear lashing.

Main Features:

* A removable, floating top lid with an integrated FlapJacket™ for weather-protected, lidless use.
* Dual ToolLock™ system with bungee tie-offs for secure and easy ice tool management.
* A-frame and diagonal ski carry options for backcountry versatility.
