    GRAB BAG TOP HANDLE

    Thick and heavy duty grab bag top handle is a pleasure to use. Designed to stand-up well and be ready when you need to grab your pack. Rubber cover can be heated and repaired should it get any scratches or gouges.

    REMOVABLE SHOULDER HARNESS

    The Adventure Pack includes a removable shoulder harness

    AIR FLOW MESH BACKPANEL

    Experience unparalleled comfort and support. The backpanel features a specially designed mesh span and die-cut sponge foam to optimize airflow and enhance pack comfort.

    "HARRINGTON" SIDE-HANDLE

    The "fireman style" side-handle on the Adventure Pack was suggested by a customer Jennifer Harrington, hence the name. This was a brilliant suggestions and one of my favorite features about the Adventure. Makes for a grab and go. Also works amazingly well in "duffel-style" when shoulder harness and hip belt are removed. Able to support well over 400lbs.

    LAPTOP AND ADMIN PANELS

    Store and organize away. The admin panel includes a double-side laptop sleeve and a second pocket for batteries, spare parts and misc. gear.

    SIDE POCKET SECRET POUCHES

    CHOOSE BLACK OR GRAY COLORWAY

    Pick your colorway >>> The Adventure Pack is available in two black and gray and two torso lengths. Pleases note that some of the images on this site show colorways used in earlier production cycles or during testing and R&D. Please note there may be small variations in color between models.

    BIG MOUTH CINCH SACK

    The Adventure Pack features a 60 liters 210D Double Rip Stock Weatherproof Shell with a big mouth cinch sack top and draw-string closure that compresses down to a svelte 35 liters EDC

    MAIN BRAIN "JUNK DRAWER"

    The top lid or main brain for the Adventure Pack features three pockets. A mesh pocket on the underside along with the key fob pocket and main 'junk drawer" pocket. The mesh pocket works great for paperwork and it does not fold over. The junk drawer is the main pocket and can hold a ton of stuff. My advise is to try and keep it as light and clean as possible.

    DEDICATED LAPTOP POCKET

    The Adventure Pack features a big dedicated laptop pocket easily able to hold 17" screens. The pocket includes a soft velcro interior sleeve that divides the pocket into a front and back to allow for better organization and storage.

    ----
    This pocket can be accessed without having to unbuckle the top lid.

    SUBTLE TONAL ATLAS LOGO

    The GEN1 packs had huge logos that really stood out. With the GEN2 packs ATLAS logo on the front has been updated and is both smaller and the colorway is tonal. You can expect the logo to fade out in the shadows and be somewhat visible in direct light. The photos you see on this site are an accurate representation of how the logos will appear in person.

    SUPER PACKABLE TO HERE

    The front shell of the Adventure Pack expands out to allow for gear the size of a sleeping bag, jet boil and sleeping pad to be stuff all the way down to here even with a full set of camera gear and the Origami pushed in.

    RAIN COVER (TETHERED)

    Tucked and tethered away in a small pocket just under the front side of the pack is the raincover. The size of the Adventure Pack raincover has been increased for the GEN2 packs and is larger by 25%. This better accommodates the coverage of tripods when the pack is loaded out. Thanks to everyone that suggested this..
