Product description
Icy peaks, long mixed routes, and big walls test your physical and mental abilities, but the Osprey Mutant 38 Backpack cleverly complements your alpine ambitions in any season so you don't have to test your patience as well. The Mutant's 38 liters (medium) gives you enough space for a lightweight overnight expedition, but can be trimmed down for ultralight summit attempts thanks to the removable frame sheet and included bivy pad.
- The top-loading design features a floating top lid and extendable skirt so you can overfill the pack for longer climbs
- Removable three-fold EVA bivy pad works great for ultralight shelters, but can also give you a pad for gear organization, belaying, or resting on snow
- Pre-shaped, contoured back panel sheds snow and moisture and fits closely thanks to the removable frame sheet and cushy shoulder straps
- Includes a sternum strap with emergency whistle and a waist belt that stows around the front of the pack so you can use your harness
- Gear loops and ice tool loops on the waist belt hold your rack while you approach the route
- Ice tool (or axe) attachment system holds your devices securely and won't puncture your pack thanks to a gorilla grip patch
- Spindrift collar on the lid keeps contents snow-free and a rope strap secures your line during the approach and descent
- Quick-release Z-shaped compression straps condense the load for easy hauling and also provide additional gear attachment points
