For backcountry treks over the weekend, the Women's Maia 65 Backpack from ARCTERYX is an extremely efficient high-capacity trekking pack that carries unlike anything else you'll find on the market. Designed entirely to fit a woman's anatomy, this isn't just a smaller, pink version of a man's pack. It's high-durability, high-capacity packing performance for women. Specifications based on size Regular

Features:

  • Anatomically correct helixed shoulder pads connect to the pack using an innovative gridlock system that facilitates a fine tune for different body shapes.
  • Completely waterproof and almost seamless, 420ACT fabric coupled with the latest in patterning and lamination technology allows for worry-free trekking
  • For unencumbered and painless carrying, laminated suspension transfers the load to a radially formed hipbelt by means of a molded load transfer disc that moves and rotates with you
  • Keep yourself hydrated without drenching your gear - a waterproof hydroport allows you to run your hydration tube outside yet still maintains the waterproof integrity of the pack
  • Rolltop closure with a removable top lid gives you options on the trail
  • Stay dry and comfortable without giving up comfort - external spacermesh back panel conforms to your back, yet still allows your built up sweat to flow freely into the environment
  • Store drenched items without soaking your gear - the external kangaroo pocket is held separate from the main body
  • Thin, light, and designed to directly connect the pack, suspension, and your back, a combination of aluminum, plastic, and EVA foam works together for all-day comfort

"Awsome Pack"

Rating:*****
This pack was the most comfortable pack I tried. The swivel on the hip belt allows the back to rotate with you allowing for much better balance than a traditional fixed hip belt. It is made from indestructible material and is also waterproof. Keep in mind though that if your hydration bladder leaks the water will stay in the pack and not leach through the fabric in a traditional pack. The main drawback to it, is that it lacks a lot of organizational features, not a lot of pockets, and the bottom doesn't zip out so you have to take everything out to get to your sleeping bag. Other than that I love it.

"This Sack is Larger than 65L would indicate. It carries nicely!"

Rating:*****
Hi Moosejaw. My Girlfriend really loves this pack! If you are looking for a pack that is sized for the one to two week trip range, but can also shrink down for shorter trip, this is a very nice choice. We tried the 75L Maia version also, but it was SO large, that is truely a 2+ week expedition pack. The Roll Down lid gives lots of options for expanding and shrinking based on your needs. We really like how simple and uncluttered this pack is. Not carrying a rain fly is great also. You are marvelous baby!

I am a guy and had this pack fit for me. I don't know why, maybe I'm built like a girl but it fits me SO well. The tricky articulating waist band feels super smooth and makes me happy. Perfect pack.
