Description
Whether mountaineering in demanding alpine conditions or spending long days conquering multi-pitch ascents, the Mutant 38 is fine-tuned for vertical ice and steep terrain. Developed with the help of local guides and athletes and honed over years of abuse in extreme conditions, its close-to-body fit and refined feature-set promotes safety and stability in even the worst of conditions.

Excellent, well-designed multi-pitch pack I recently purchased a Mutant 38 and love it. It is built with durable, yet light material, with reinforcements at key points.
