What is the Nitron 18?
It's an exceptionally stable and streamlined 18-litre backpack, ideal for everything from day hikes to fast-paced adventures. This versatile daypack is the perfect companion for single-day adventures when you want to keep weight to a minimum.
What is it made from?
The pack is constructed using a combination of 100D Robic Nylon Ripstop and 70D Nylon with TriShield Coating, with 140D reinforcements in high-wear areas. Each of these materials has excellent wear resistance, strength and hardiness to tackle tough days in rough, tricky terrain when the weather is challenging. The panels of 140D nylon are placed on the base of the pack for added reinforcement where it's needed most.
The Tri-Shield® Coating is a specialised water-resistant treatment designed to repel water, making it more resistant to moisture and rain. However, please note that this does not make the backpack waterproof.
What backsystem does it use?
The Nitron 12 uses Rab’s AirContour™ backsystem, which offers a supportive, breathable back for multi-activity adventures. The moulded foam spacer mesh construction increases breathability and ventilation at contact points, helping you feel fresh in warmer climates.
What are its features?
For storage, there is a top-loading zipped main compartment for storing spare items of clothing and lunch. The harness features two pockets, one zipped ideal for a mobile phone, trail snacks and energy gels and one stash pocket for a soft bottle flask for fuss-free hydration. There's also a front stash pocket ideal for stowing on-off layers, wet kit, a map or extra snacks. The Nitron is also compatible with a hydration bladder of up to 3 litres—perfect for fast-paced adventures when you need more water.
The pack features a body-hugging harness for a secure, close fit without hindering mobility, enabling dynamic movement on a variety of terrain. This snug fit, combined with a double chest strap, provides reassurance that the pack will remain stable and not move around when you pick up the pace.
If you're a fan of running or trekking poles, you're in luck! The Nitron has a specialised on-the-go z-pole attachment and an additional option for carrying traditional walking poles when they're not in use.
