Product detailed description

If you enjoy hiking on your own in the backcountry, a pack with a RECCO chip is definitely worth considering. The chip makes it easier for the rescue services to locate you in an emergency.There’s no need to register anywhere, it just works automatically. A growing number of search and rescue organisations are already equipped with RECCO detectors. The current geographic coverage includes most of the Alps, and the system is also widely used in Austria, Scandinavia, the USA and Canada.The KINGSTON 22 is part of our KALARI/KINGSTON series. These lightweight, multifunctional packs are made from recycled materials and have a sporty design. Ideal for extended day hikes, the KINGSTON 22 is incredibly versatile, very robust and extremely well ventilated.The flexible ACS TIGHT back system also ensures good freedom of movement. The pack sits very close to your body, so you always retain full control of the load. The central air channel at the back and the perforated, air permeable back padding, shoulder straps and waist belt help to keep you cool. If you’re not carrying a full pack and don’t need the hip fins, they can be stowed away.All of the packs in the KINGSTON series can be combined with the larger KALARI packs and carried together. Simply attach the hooks on the day pack to the loops on the shoulder straps of the travel pack. This product series will appeal to the user looking for a dynamic and flexible, town-to-trail travel pack solution for round-the-world trips or everyday use. Technologies:RECCO®The RECCO® system makes it possible to find people who have gone missing – during sports activities in both summer and winter.The passive Recco transponder is an integral part in some of our packs as well as in our winter sportswear.

They test our products on the most varied trips and treks, and give valuable feedback on prototypes as well as input on improvements, which in turn, enhances the safety of our products. RecycledA large number of our products are already made of sustainable materials from recycled resources, and we are continually working towards increasing the percentage.We use recycled PET bottles in many of our materials, such as fleece, synthetic fibre filling and the outer hardshell and softshell fabrics.The membrane used in our Texapore Ecosphere is made from production remnants, meaning there is no waste.And SEAQUAL™ is a synthetic fibre made from plastic debris fished out of the oceans. 100% PFC-freeLabel for water-repellent coating without PFC. One of our top aims is to eliminate PFCs in our collection.PFCs (per- and poly-fluoride chemicals) are substances used on the surfaces of items to give them water-repellent or fat-repellent properties, which is the reason they are mainly used in waterproof trousers and jackets.As it is still not clear which PFCs are ""good"" (i.e. degradable) and which ones are not, we took the decision to eliminate them all from our entire collection. We are now very close to attaining our goal: all our clothing and equipment are now completely PFC-free. And the number of PFC-free shoes in our collection is on the rise. bluesign® PRODUCTThe bluesign® PRODUCT logo stands for safe textiles, environmentally friendly production and responsible use of resources.The bluesign® system excludes substances that are harmful to the environment and to health from the very beginning of the manufacturing process.
