What is the Aeon all about?

Made for a large variety of outdoor pursuits include day hiking, ultralight overnight camp outs, mountain biking as well as for proper use in mountainous terrains, the made feature of the Aeon and something every piece in the range has in common is its back system.

It’s semi-rigid structure and vacuum formed back panel, moulds to your shape and keeps the air flowing, moving with you over all terrain.
