The Tempestâ„¢ 22 excels in dynamic multi-sport environments. For hiking, its AirScape back panel and continuous-wrap harness ensure comfort and stability, even on technical trails, allowing you to easily access water from the internal hydration sleeve. The Stow-on-the-Go trekking pole attachment lets you quickly secure or retrieve poles without removing the pack, perfect for varied terrain. When biking, the LidLock helmet attachment keeps your helmet secure when not worn, and the blinker light attachment enhances safety. The pack's stable fit minimizes shifting during intense rides. For climbing or mountaineering, the ice axe attachment provides reliable gear carry, while the pack's slim profile and body-hugging fit maintain freedom of movement. Everyday essentials like snacks, phone, and keys can be stored in the easily accessible hip belt and harness pockets, ensuring they are always within reach. The overall design supports swift, unencumbered movement, making it a reliable companion for active adventurers seeking a compact, highly functional pack.
Adjust the Torso Length: While the Tempest 22 is a fixed-torso pack, ensure the shoulder harness and hip belt are positioned correctly for your body. The continuous-wrap design is intended to contour to your shape.
Load the Pack: Distribute weight evenly, placing heavier items closer to your back. Utilize the main compartment for bulkier items and external pockets for frequently accessed gear.
Adjust Harness and Hip Belt: Fasten the hip belt first, ensuring it sits comfortably on your iliac crest (hip bones). Tighten the shoulder straps so the pack sits snugly against your back. Adjust the sternum strap and load lifters (if present) to fine-tune the fit and stabilize the load.
Hydration Reservoirs: Compatible with most standard hydration reservoirs that fit within the internal sleeve. (Info needed: Specific maximum reservoir size).
Gear: Designed to integrate with trekking poles, ice axes, and bike helmets using dedicated attachment points.
Blinker Lights: Features a specific loop for attaching a blinker light for added visibility.
Gender/Age: Primarily designed for adult females, though the adjustable fit can accommodate a range of body types.
Cleaning: For general cleaning, hand wash with mild soap and cold water. Avoid using harsh detergents, bleach, or fabric softeners, as these can damage the fabric and DWR coating. Rinse thoroughly.
Drying: Hang the pack upside down in a well-ventilated area to air dry completely. Avoid direct sunlight or high heat, which can degrade materials.
Storage: Store the pack in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Ensure it's completely dry before storing to prevent mildew.
DWR Re-application: Over time, the PFAS-free DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment may wear off. You can re-apply a DWR spray specifically designed for outdoor gear to maintain water repellency.
