From climbing icefalls to conquering thin air to claim the summit, the Scepter 50L adapts to any mission. To improve mobility and functionality during lifting, we remove the padding from the hip belt to provide a lower fit and open two slots for ice scissors. When we spend our days digging in deep loose snow we tighten all five compression straps tightly to press the load closer The dynamic frame and hip belt will do the rest. No matter how we send it , durable materials do not flinch in the harsh conditions in which we work.
