Stratos 36 on the Alta Via 2

Just completed the Alta Via 2 across the Dolomites carrying my new Stratos 36 - 179km and many climbs - an excellent backpack for my 14 stage hike 🥾

Lovely backpack

I wanted something that could cover a short day out up to leading groups or light camping trips and winter ready. This backpack covers all the bases and is comfortable over long treks. Time will tell on durability.

Great for multi-day

I have happily used this for multi-day summer hikes with tent, including Snowdonia Way, Arran Way and Hebridean Way. It's relatively heavy, but a) frame means excellent weight-shift to hips, b) airflow to back, and c) robust. Tent sits very conveniently in bottom compartment. I haven't carried stove on these hikes, and generally haven't required more than 1 day's water or 2 days' food. Excellent for this use, but likely too small for hikes requiring you to carry a lot of food/water and/or cold-weather gear. Highly recommended.

Stratos 36

It's passable, but the air mesh now has plastic rails down each side as part of the back length adjustment. These are somewhat inflexible and I am aware of them being there against my back. The stratos 34 I purchased several years ago does not have these rails and feels much better against my back, so not sure if this is a new thing you have introduced?

Brilliant and versatile hiking backpack

The Stratos 36 has all the features you need from a full-on hiking backpack with the added benefit of the tensioned-mesh back panel that allows air to flow between your back and the backpack. It has other very useful features including external gear straps on the bottom, a lower direct-access compartment and plenty of pockets in convenient locations.
