Engineered for both men and women, this versatile adult backpack is your trusted partner for everything from demanding multi-pitch routes to fast-paced hiking and scrambling. Its intelligent design focuses on providing maximum agility and unrestricted movement, allowing you to focus on the crux ahead.

Crafted from a highly durable and lightweight synthetic material, the Progress 18L is built to withstand the rigours of alpine environments without weighing you down. The core of its design is a streamlined, frameless construction that hugs your body, ensuring exceptional stability and comfort while climbing or moving quickly over technical terrain.

With an 11-20 L capacity, it offers the perfect volume for carrying essential gear for a day in the mountains.
