Epic XT 3.0 Hiking Backpack

Built for fastpackers and multi-day endurance athletes pushing hard in the backcountry, the Epic XT 3.0 is our top pick for anyone who needs serious capacity without sacrificing speed. The removable back frame and XT Mesh padding move heat away from your back while the MaxO2 harness keeps the load stable and your breathing unrestricted. The magnetic Fluidic Holster System means you never have to stop to grab nutrition or your phone.

• 35-liter roll-top main compartment with side and back compression straps — carries a full multi-day load or cinches down for fast-and-light days
• XT Fabric ripstop construction is stronger than steel by weight, keeping the pack light without sacrificing durability on technical terrain
• Removable back panel frame follows your spine's natural curve for custom weight distribution and improved airflow in hot, humid conditions
• MaxO2 Form harness system stabilizes the pack at speed while allowing a full, natural breathing range — critical for trail running with a loaded pack
• Fluidic Holster System on the waist belt uses a magnetic closure for one-handed access to essentials on the move; hydration reservoir compatible up to 3L (bladder not included)
