Dual aluminum stays and incredibly strong ULTRA 400TX fabric make the ULTRA Camino tough enough to survive the most aggressive baggage handler. Why Ultra? 15x stronger than steel by weight, twice as abrasion resistant as standard 420D nylon, and waterproof to 200 psi, we've finally found an ultralight fabric that matches our high standards. ULTRA 400TX is the most advanced fabric we've ever seen. ULTRA 400 is backed with white taffeta, giving the material a visible and more durable interior. Note that these packs do not have water ports to maximize water resistance. The ULTRA Camino is the most versatile panel loader on the market. Designed to meet standard Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations for carry-on luggage, the Camino measures 22 x 13 x 8.25 with the extension collar rolled down. It may be compact, but it's still large enough to easily fit all your gear— heck, it will even hold a bear canister horizontally. For ease of travel, the front panel loader has an internal open mesh, zippered, split pocket to keep your essentials organized and accessible. Internal retention straps hold everything in place. A new, internal stretch mesh laptop pocket keeps your tech where it should be. We designed this pack in graphite black with an embossed black leather logo for a low profile, sleek design. Not just a travel pack, the ULTRA Camino moves to the trail with ease. Built to be as comfortable as the Catalyst, the Camino features the same internal twin-stay framesheet, shoulder straps, hipbelt, roll-top closure, and side pockets you know and love. Side compression straps keep your kit tight, while bottom straps offer convenient storage and easy access for a jacket or sleeping pad.
