Discounted Packs for the Elk Mountains Grand Traverse Designed by Mike Kloser
All of you GT Junkies, we’re offering a discounted rate of $145 for our OutThere! AS-1 packs. This is a newer version of the pack that Jay Henry and I had used to win the Grand Traverse back in 2009. These packs have been used by some of the top Adventure Racers in the world!
I spent more than a decade helping design racing packs for the likes of North Face, Golite, Salomon and Nike. I took all the best features we came up with and designed what many claim to be the best racing pack they have ever used!
Pack Features: (Grand Traverse specific)
- Numerous zipper and mesh pockets on the hip belt and shoulder straps for food items, so you can simply reach and eat.
- Side mesh pockets for water bottles, food or other mandatory items.
- For items like spare gloves, hats and clothing layers, skins, etc., there are mesh and zipper pockets on the sides and front of the pack.
- The hood has two zipper compartments which are great for items like your GPS, Spot, spare headlamp, etc.
- Your sleeping mat can fit inside the main compartment or be attached externally to either the side compression straps or to the tabs on the bottom of the pack.
- Your avalanche shovel fits snugly in the front mesh compartment.
- There’s an external zip hydration compartment for quick access to your hydration bladder.
- There’s a side zipper to access the main compartment of your pack with out having to undo the packs hood.
- And yes this pack has a towline attachment inside the lower zipper compartment so the line can be stowed for easy access.
When you’re in a race like this, you want to have your gear as accessible as possible. 
This pack is designed with races like the Elk Mountain Grand Traverse in mind.
