Nomad Rt 38 Backpack

The ALPS Mountaineering Nomad RT 38 is designed to meet a hiker’s changing needs. The roll-top pack provides the ability for the pack to compress down to a 34L or expand to a 42L pack. The main compartment is easily accessible due to a large zippered opening. Its adjustable suspension system features two flat aluminum stays and adjusts to fit torso ranges from 15-17.5 inches. The waist belt, with its removable pockets, will adjust to fit waist sizes from 25-40 inches. The Nomad’s stretch side pockets, side compression straps, extensive daisy chains, and trekking pole loops provide additional gear storage, and lashing points. An interior hydration pocket with two side outlet hydration ports and a built-in rain cover are both included. The Nomad is thoughtfully designed to be your perfect backpacking companion.
