Built to handle heavy loads with the creature comforts, the updated REI Mars handles extended backpacking in any season.

  • Enjoy dual access to pack via the top-loading opening and the horseshoe-shaped, zippered front panel opening, which works much like a duffel opening
  • With a ''rip-and-stick'' torso adjustment, shoulder strap system easily slides along pack's frame to fit torsos of varying lengths
  • Removable top lid pocket with water repellent zipper lets you stash your essentials to bring into tent, so pack can stay outside or in vestibule
  • Zippered pocket under lid stores maps and keys, spare batteries and other small essentials
  • Front panel features a welded, water-repellent zippered pocket for storing often-used gear
  • Precurved shoulder straps match your anatomy for nonbinding comfort on and off the trail
  • Dual-density foam padded backpanel provides a comfortable and supportive fit when carrying heavy loads
  • Precurved hipbelt is designed to cradle hip bones for a natural fit and to distribute weight without sagging
  • Hipbelt webbing system allows you to use a natural forward pulling motion for quick, easy cinching and precise adjustment
  • Internal sleeping-bag compartment is created by a zippered divider, separating it from gear and clothes in the main compartment
  • Utilizing four buckles, the pack's streamlined compression system lets you cinch and strap down loads for jostle-free carrying
  • Concave head pod at the top of pack gives your head freedom of movement—no more staring at the ground
  • Two side pockets—one zip and one mesh—hold water bottles, energy bars and other essentials you want close at hand
  • Side hipbelt pocket stores those small essentials you want at your finger tips, such as lip balm and sunscreen
  • Lash points on the other side of hipbelt let you attach camera and GPS pouches
  • Lash straps on bottom of pack let you attach sleeping pad
  • Hydration-compatible design features an internal reservoir sleeve and dual exit ports for drinking tube; hydration reservoir sold separately
