Patagonia

This versatile backpack is built to go light on routes from Fitz Roy to Chamonix, but willingly expands when you need to overstuff.

Whether you’re trying a route on the South Face of Denali or heading into the Karakoram, when conditions dictate a need for additional gear or an overnight kit, this backpack expands to handle the load.

For days when you know that afternoon breeze is coming, but you donêt want to carry your real pants, the Houdini Pant stows smaller than a collapsible water bottle to disappear in your pack, and reappear right when you need them most.
