This American Outback hydration pack is the multi-mode backpack for overnight hikes, hunting trips, and multi-day backcountry travel. The 55-liter main frame body carries sleeping gear, food, water, and clothes for multi-day trips. A 15-liter detachable daypack pulls off for day hikes from a base camp, leaving the heavy frame behind. The 2-liter water bladder built into the system keeps the user hydrated without stopping to dig water bottles out of the main pack.
The adjustable frame system fits a range of torso lengths so the pack can be sized correctly to the user — important for serious carry weight where bad fit translates directly into sore shoulders and back pain. The stow-away rain cover deploys from a pocket at the bottom of the pack when weather changes mid-hike — no scrambling for a separate cover and no leaving the pack exposed to a downpour while you find one.
Sold through Lehman’s outdoor gear catalog, this is the multi-purpose hiking pack for households where the same gear has to cover hunting, fishing, camping, and overnight property work. The detachable daypack alone justifies the price — you effectively get two packs for one purchase, and the larger frame moonlights as evacuation/emergency gear when needed.
