The Akela 45 by Tatonka is designed as a boy scout backpack for teenagers and is also ideal for a short trekking tour or as a travel backpack. Its pleasantly flexible V Comfort Vario Carrying System ensures efficient load transfer to the hip area and thus back-friendly carrying. In order to position the hip belt correctly, it can be adjusted to different back lengths. It can also “grow” with your back to a certain extent.The backpack also has two large side pockets with zips, behind which an open insertion channel can also be used to accommodate tent poles, for example. An insulating mat can be attached to the compression straps on the bottom.The Akela touring backpack is also available in a smaller version with a capacity of 35 liters. Features : 1.
