Arc'teryx Micon 37 Backpack Description
Go lap after lap with the Micon 37 backpack, designed for comfort and easy access on the ascent and stability on the descent. Constructed with a shorter length to optimize a low centre of gravity and reduce any “wobble,” external attachments for a variety of carry and tool storage options, and a side-zip entry that allows you to access the internal compartment without taking the pack off, the Micon 37 brings ease to big days in big terrain.
