For backcountry treks over the weekend, the Women's Maia 75 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 your motion
  • 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

The Arc'teryx Maia 75 Women's Backpack has enough cargo capacity for a week on the trail, support to keep you comfortable, and completely waterproof construction to keep gear dry.

Arc'teryx gave the Maia 75 Backpack a sealable hose port and hydration sleeve for your water bladder. Load the 4576cu inch (medium size) main compartment, stash smaller gear in the front pocket and lid, and enjoy a week in the backcountry.

"Way to go! More power to Arcteryx!"

Rating:*****
I just got my Golden Maia 75. Took it out on a longer test hike and air travel already. So far so good. Can't wait to take it on a serious tour! I'm glad I got the 75l. I really need the space plus I can always make it smaller by rolling it more down or leaving the top at home. There are a gazillion ways of adjusting this pack to YOU which seems overwhelming at first but hopefully will work in the end - I'm still fine tuning. I love the rotating hip belt! It feels great esp on uneven or steep terrain! It definitely curves like my curves making it much more comfortable than the Naos's. I was initially battling with the curved shoulder straps but adjusted them here and there and prett

"Very Large Pack!"

Rating:*****
Ended up Purchasing the 65L Maia for my girlfriend. This Pack is absolutely Huge, and too big for 1-2 week 3-season trips. The Maia packs carry really well, so no worries there that I can see. Only buy this pack if you are looking for 2+ week trips, or 1-2 week winter trips. I cant imagine filling or carrying this thing otherwise. You are Marvelous!
