The Ascent by JanSport is a hiking backpack built for fast and light adventures. With all the features you look for in a technical pack, the Ascent offers a more compact format and comfort. A compression molded back panel and GridFit™ harness make it easy to get a custom fit on your first hike. The Foamex frame sheet with aluminum stay provides enough support for any alpine load. The Foamex frame sheet can be removed and used as a belay seat to insulate from the cold. The large tear drop main compartment allows easy packing of all your layers and gear. The Drop Zone pocket, ice axe holders and bungee system are great for keeping important equipment stored safely yet easily accessible.
