What is the Ducan Spine 28-35L Backpack?
It's an adaptable outdoor backpack that provides 28-35 litres of storage for day hikes and minimalist multi-day trips. The Ducan Spine provides ample comfort, support, organisation, and on-the-go access for all-round functionality, making it the perfect versatile pack for every season.
What is it made of?
The bag is made with a blend of polyamide and polyester which is lightweight yet incredibly strong and abrasion-resistant, which helps to increase the longevity of this bag and make it last even longer.
This backpack is partly made with recycled material to help reduce its environmental impact and bluesign® approved to ensure safety throughout the supply chain and customers who purchase this product.
The material is finished with a PFC-free DWR (durable water repellent) for extra weather resistance.
Perfluorinated chemicals (PFCs) used in earlier DWRs can’t ‘break down’, so once they reach nature (usually via water waste from factories), they stay in the environment and contaminate living organisms, working their way up the food chain. PFC's are suspected carcinogens and have been known to affect reproduction and hormone production in mammals. For these reasons, many brands are now using PFC-free alternatives to reduce the impact manufacturing has on our beautiful planet.
The product is also bluesign® approved, meaning it's manufactured in a way that is safe for the environment, workers and consumers. bluesign® certifications ensure that the materials used avoid harmful substances, use reduced air and water emissions, increase resource productivity, and the production line is more transparent and trustworthy.
Mammut works with FairWear to ensure safe, ethical working conditions in their factories,helping to protect workers' rights andbeing considerate and responsible with their processes.
What backsystem does it use?
The suspension system, with patented Mammut Active Spine 3.0 technology, mimics your spine's natural movement to support a natural gait while distributing weight evenly across your body to create a barely-there feel.
The backpanel is ventilated to help increase airflow and regulate temperature around the main contact points and can be easily adjusted, allowing you to achieve a precise fit every time.
An integrated metal frame delivers optimum load transfer, while the padded shoulder straps and hip belt enhance comfort and, again, can be adjusted for a more precise fit.
What are the features?
The unique adjustable volume of this backpack means you can alter the load size according to your activity, making it incredibly versatile for year-round use and saving you from buying multiple backpacks for different activities. Load control straps also help to stabilise the load on-the-go.
The rolltop closure with a zipper provides extra weather protection and easy access to the pack.
A large front zip opening to the main compartment provides easy access to your belongings. Plus, you get an array of organisation options including large mesh shoulder strap pockets, a large front pocket, a zipped hip belt pocket, a zipped valuables pocket (accessible from the exterior), two mesh side pockets (ideal for water bottles), and further attachment options at the base of the pack which are useful for bulky camping equipment.
Pole fixation on the front and side allows you to carry your walking poles easily without hassle when not in use.
An elasticated chest strap helps to secure the pack to the body without feeling restrictive.
The Ducan Spine is also hydration-system compatible and allows you to hook a reservoir system up for hands-free sipping.
Lastly, an integrated, detachable rain cover provides ample waterproof protection for your belongings when hiking in unpredictable conditions and wet weather.
