Detailed Description
Into town or the great outdoors
Although its twenty-four litres still rank it among the smaller backpacks, the Step will surprise you with its spaciousness. You can use it to carry your study or work materials during the week, then simply change its contents on Friday and enjoy a weekend in the wild. The special Volume Extender pocket, located around the back‘s perimeter, is a great bonus. When unzipped, it increases the backpack by up to three litres. (photo needed)
When designing the Step, emphasis was placed on making it as narrow as possible so that it would not get caught when cycling or running, and, at the same time, so that its centre of gravity, or the load’s centre of gravity, was higher than conventional backpacks, which, together with its large front map pocket makes it an ideal backpack for orienteering.

Description
There is a small pocket at the bottom of the pack with an integrated raincover. It is not permanently fixed to the backpack, so it can be detached and used either for another backpack or for a completely different purpose. Above this pocket there is a loop with reflective printing for a flashing safety light, next to which are elastic cords for attaching trekking poles.
On the same level, there are two elastic mesh pockets on the sides of the pack, ideal for a water bottle, and above them are straps with buckles to compress the pack’s overall profile if it’s not completely full.
There is one smaller and one larger pocket on the front of the pack, both suitable for flat items such as a map. The larger of these pockets also features a mesh zippered organizer and has a zip with two sliders.
The main compartment takes up almost the entire pack, it has a zip with two sliders and can be unzipped up to the middle of the pack; it also has a pocket for a hydration pack in the back.
As a cherry on top, there is also a fleece pocket, usually used for glasses or a mobile phone.
