Dual-density padded and contoured shoulder straps accommodate a wide fit range; removable dual-density foam waistbelt helps support heavy loads. Removable top lid features two pockets; stash a rope or crampons under the lid with ease. Top-loading main compartment features a collar that rolls down to seal contents from the elements; built in pocket on collar stashes essentials. Constructed with high-performance Cordura® nylon to resist abrasions, tears, scuffs and punctures. Hydration-compatible design features reservoir pocket and twin drink-tube exit ports for on-the-go hydration (reservoir sold separately). Dual Axe-S™ toggles hold ice axes securely; side hardware loops keep your pro handy and secure. Closeout."

From Backcountry.com:
"Mountain Hardwear designed the Trance Backpack for alpine climbers who demand a purely functional, streamlined pack with very little weight. The Trance Backpack weighs only 3lb 9oz (medium size) and can be stripped even further by removing the lid, waist-belt, and back pad. To squeeze the most out of everything, Mountain Hardwear gave the Trance a back panel that doubles as a 38in bivy pad, a waist belt with slots for carabiners to rack ice screws, and a roll-top design that seals even when the lid is taken off. The Trance Backpack is the perfect size for a two- or three-day alpine assault."

From Altrec Outdoors:
"For day trips with big aspirations or overnight adventures ranging from mellow trail excursions to fast-paced climbs, the versatile Mountain Hardware Trance Backpack is equipped to handle your varied loads. A padded suspension system transfers the load evenly to the hips and shoulders, offering comfort that stays with you all day. The EVA backpanel, which slides in immediately in front of a shape-maintaining HDPE framesheet, doubles as a 38 inch bivy pad for those who are especially concerned about shaving ounces. But perhaps you are more inclined to make your sleeping arrangements as comfortable as possible, choosing instead to use the handy front release straps to attach a sleeping pad. These straps also work for crampons and skis, with an alternative crampon storage location provided underneath the floating top lid. For further load carrying efficiency, the Trance includes dual Axe-S quick release ice axe toggles, reinforced haul loops, and an optional 1.5 inch web belt with gear loops. If a similar pack, only a little bit smaller would better suit your needs, be sure to look at the Mountain Hardware Phenom Backpack."
