Headwaters Outfitters Animas Backpack

An IP68 rating means the backpack is fully dust-tight and can withstand continuous immersion in water beyond one meter. You can confidently submerge the pack or use it in heavy rain without worrying about your electronics or extra clothing getting wet.

Yes, both the padded shoulder straps and the waist belt are fully removable. This is particularly useful if you want to streamline the pack for storage or if you prefer to carry it using only the top lug handle.

The Animas uses a combination of a ZipDry zipper and a roll-top closure. You first seal the airtight zipper, then roll the top down and secure it to create a secondary barrier against the elements.

Yes, 40 liters is generally sufficient for a two-day trip, especially for activities like fishing or river excursions. It provides enough room for a change of clothes, essential gear, and food supplies while remaining manageable on your back.

The Animas weighs 2.35 lbs. Its lightweight construction is designed to keep your load manageable without sacrificing the durability required for rugged outdoor environments.
