What is the Women's Ogre 40+?
The Ogre is a lightweight, rugged, comfortable pack that bridges the gap between super technical climbing bags and day-hike bags. It's aimed at everyone from climbers,mountaineers, hill walkers and every adventure in between.
What is the Ogre made of?
The Ogre is constructed using two different weights of M series fabrics - M840 and M210. These are both durable, double-ripstop Polyamide fabrics that feature a DWR (durable water repellent) face-coating for water repellency and snow shedding with a PU coating on the inside. This fabric is not only optimised for weather resistance but also built to take a beating - no scuff and tears whilst you're hauling your pack up a multi-pitch climb.
What is the backsystem?
This is where the Ogre is incredibly clever; most of the elements of the carrysystem can be removed to offer on-demand minimalism. The pack features a removable EVA composite back panel, that not only manages sweat remarkably well but also adds an extra layer of comfort when carrying hefty, jabby climbing items. It is also incredibly tough and won't snag when hauling the pack up a rock face. The 38mm webbing hipbelt features high density, EVA moulded fins that are also removable. They are incredibly comfortable and hug your body like a climbing harness, offering reliable stability and all-day comfort. The final factor of the carry system is the shoulder straps - these are also EVA moulded and curved to sit out of the way of the movement of your shoulders, whilst simultaneouslyprotecting from chaffing. The EVA is also effective at moving sweat away from your body on even the hottest of mountain days. The chest strap is fully adjustable and offers extra support when carrying heavier loads.
What are the features?
Much like the backsystem, the features are also minimalistic - most of which can be removed to strip the weight right down. Starting from the top, the lid features an integratedcowl-lid pocket with external zipped access for quick, on the move items. It is incredibly spacious and is the perfect place to stash the suncream, gloves and jelly babies. The lid also features a zipped internal security pocket that is the ideal place to stash phones and keys. This cowl-lid also double up as extra protection from adverse weather conditions.
The lid is secured in place by a Durable Grappler buckle - originally designed for the Tupilak Pack, the Durable Grappler buckle has proved to be a game-changer. It is easy to use with big mitts on and stays put no matter how much downward force you put on it (we have tried and none of us could get it to budge). The strap on the Durable Grappler buckle is extra long so you can carry a rope or a helmet under the lid of the pack.
The side compression straps are adjustable and removable; the thermoplastic hammerhead toggles can be adjusted both up and down the pack for additional external storage, as well as being able to be synched tight for added stability if your pack is underfilled. The axehead toggles have been custom developed to be lightweight, durable and fully removable. They have flared fins that will secure a wide range of ice tools to the outside of the pack. The pack also has an integrated pick pocket so you can tuck the sharp bits of your axe out of the way.
