On an extended weekend alpine ascent, when every ounce of weight and versatility is scrutinized, the Arc'teryx Khamsin 50 is a well balanced mid-sized designed that traverses the requirements. Loaded with alpine features and highly modular, this pack can be extended to deliver a monster payload, and then stripped down and compressed for light forays, or a summit bid. When fully loaded, the V-frame suspension, removable aluminum stays, removable hipbelt with thermoformed hip pods, removable hip belt gear loops, removable dual density framesheet, and removable/extendable lid pack a whole lot of carrying comfort. Strip it all down, and it converts to a summit pack with just the necessities to tag the top.
Give yourself the assurance of enough space on your gear-laden daytrips or light overnights - fill the ARCTERYX Khamsin 50 Backpack with exactly what you need without the weight that you don't. Built to be highly modular, you can even strip this pack down to the absolute minimum for that final summit push.
For gear-laden day trips and overnight forays, the Arc'teryx Khamsin 50 slim-profile technical backpack provides excellent stability while carrying an alpine load.
Ideal for gear laden daytrips and overnight forays into the alpine, the Arc'teryx Khamsin 50 Backpack is a well balanced mid-sized mountaineering pack. Loaded with alpine features and highly strippable, this pack can deliver a payload and then be compressed for a close to the body fit when traveling light to the summit.
For alpine climbers who want a few more features than your average stripped-to-nothing pack, Arc'teryx created the Khamsin 50 Backpack. Two aluminum stays and a dual-density frame sheet help support your load, and they can be removed to shave weight. Arc'teryx also added an emergency bivy pad for those unexpected nights in the open. The Khamsin 50 Backpack includes a collapsible kangaroo pocket that holds you crampons, screws, or extra layers then tucks out of the way for the climbing. When you need to get to something buried deep in this bag, just unzip the waterproof side access instead of going in through the top and risking a spill from 15 pitches up a route. *Only available for US shipment.
The Arc'teryx Khamsin 50 was engineered for rugged mountain expeditions while providing comfortable support.

Bomber_Pack | |
| Rating: |  |
This back pack is sick, super comfortable and has a ton of room for a full rack, rope, gear and other random shit you drag to the crag with you. I thought the pack had a camel back pocket in it which it doesn't but the kangaroo pouch on the outside of the pack makes a great camel back pouch. I went with the steazy Bluebird cause everyday in Tahoe is a Bluebird day. you can't carry skis but I'm sure you could ghetto rig something up, but if you're a snowboarder like myself you could carry the board sideways behind your back. All in all killer pack and an affordable quality Arc"teryx product with a warranty as Bomber as the pack itself. Look for a bright blue pack up on Donner summit and chances are it's yours truly. | |

If you need something this tough!! | |
| Rating: | |
Great pack used it this season ice climbing in CT, and Vermont. Easily held puffy coat,hardshell,helmet,water bottle in parka, rope,screws,harness,snacks,binocs,heavy gloves, ice gloves,thermos,slings,camera,carabiners,axes(danglers a little wierd but work fine),and crampons(in kangaroo pocket).The wieght was fine, even traverseing up the side of smuggs.I have also used this pack for a couple overnighters, and can fit my tent,sleeping back,stove,thermarest,EZlite,water,food and extra clothing. Mind you this is a little overloaded,but worked fine.If your wondering about durability, I had to carry my girlfriends pack down about 200 feet of near vertical snow, and chucked this pack down it!! you would never even know. So if you need something this tough its worth the money. | |

Fits like a glove | |
| Rating: | |
This packs is fantastic!!!!! The light weight material makes for a very light backpack. The moldable back piece can easily be adjusted to fit most any back and the added gear loops on the belt make for a great climbing pack. You can tell Arc'teryx has done their homework because this pack has great weight distribution and suspension. If it's an all day or weekend excursion this pack will hold most everything you need. | |

Great Fit | |
| Rating: | |
This backpack rocks (so far). I'm fairly short 5'6" and the regular fit me perfectly. I had littl- to-no adjustment of the back support poles for it to fit my back like a glove. The gearloops on the belt are a great feature as well, especially when trad climbing. Lightweight and sturdy, would recommend it to anyone who climbs or backcountry skis as it would work great for either. | |

Alpine Perfection. | |

This pack is loaded with alpine features and just big enough for winter mountaineering. I've used it on two summits already and it is amazing. perfect weight distribution in typical arcteryx fashion. | |
