Halka 70

Took this up to 18,000 feet on a cold, wet climb and it never once let water in — the fabric feels genuinely burly. The two external side sleeves kept my oxygen bottles reachable without having to take the pack off, which was a lifesaver.

Carried this through two weeks of glacier work and the load distribution stayed comfortable even with a full oxygen setup in those side sleeves. The fabric feels bomber, exactly what you want when you're scraping against rock at 6,000 meters.

The side sleeves on this pack fit my oxygen bottles perfectly and stayed secure even during the rocky descents. Fabric feels bombproof, which gives me real confidence for the higher camps this season.
