Excellent ventilation with comfortable load transfer
Don’t compromise carrying comfort for ventilation. The Hover 40 takes a unique approach in providing both these essentials for warm-weather hiking. Most other packs designed for warm weather integrate a full panel of mesh against your back, but the Hover features anatomically-curved frame stays to create a ventilated, air-cooled back panel that levitates the load off your back, minimizing back-to-pack contact and maximizing airflow without compromising Mystery Ranch's Load Carriage™ vision. With the articulated Hover yoke and harnessing, much of the weight gets redirected to the hip belt for a cooler, more comfortable carry.
