This pack is a classic for a reason - it's super comfortable and super versatile. If you want a pack that can do almost anything, this is the one. At 65L it can carry all the gear you need for almost any trip in NZ - from Great Walks to 10 days in the Southern Alps or Fiordland. The harness is super adjustable, allowing you to get just the right amount of padding in the shoulders and around the waist belt. With heaps of attachment points on the outside you can strap on extra gear for longer trips, or synch down the sides if you don't fill out the entire pack to keep everything inside securely in place. The front opening makes it super convenient to access your gear - and is also why this doubles as an awesome travel bag!

Fit tip:

Customizable - prefer this hip belt for wider hips as it's less stiff

The Ariel 65 is an extremely versatile pack. I chose to buy this pack when I was going on an OE for a year. This pack offers the convenience and accessibility that a travel pack does, by having a full zip at the front as well as the comfort that a tramping pack provides. I have since also used it for its designed purpose of tramping and it does not disappoint. The pack sits nice and close to your back so you don't feel your belongings bouncing around when going through uneven terrain or making you feel unbalanced and carries weight exceptionally.

Fit tip:

The pack is narrow but taller than others. It will sit behind your head so if you are looking up a lot or wearing a helmet, it could feel a little restrcivtive.
