TOOL CARRY
The Mutant Dual ToolLock™ system allows easy access to, and secure
attachment of all ice tools including newer, leashless tools.
To use:
1 Route the ToolLock™ clip through the eyelet on the head of your ice tool
and place the pick end of the ice tool into the reinforced fabric patch.
2 Loosen the upper Y-Clip bungee to hold the ice tool handle, flip the handle
up and secure by tightening the bungee. Reverse this process to remove
the tools.
SUSPENSION/BACKPANEL
Suspension components of the Mutant consist of a
removable 1.2mm HDPE framesheet with a removable
aluminum stay, which works in conjunction with a
reverse spacer mesh, ventilated ridged foam AirScape™
backpanel. This suspension ensures a high level of
comfort, breathability and load transfer.
REMOVING THE SUSPENSION
The internal Mutant suspension components can be
removed for the alpine minimalist looking to shave a bit
of weight.
1 Locate the hook and loop backpanel suspension
compartment just above the sewn-in reservoir sleeve
and pull back to expose the HDPE framesheet and
aluminum stay.
2 Grasp the external base of the pack with one hand
and the framesheet firmly with the other and pull to
remove the suspension components from the pack.
When reinserting the framesheet please ensure that
the aluminum stay is facing in the opposite direction of
the pack's backpanel for proper fit.
HARNESS
The fixed, reverse spacer mesh die-cut foam harness
on each Mutant Series pack is designed specifically
with stability, carry and comfort in mind. An adjustable
sternum strap with rescue whistle buckle provides
proper torsional stability while reservoir hose routers
keep hydration accessible and at the ready.
ERGOPULL™ HIPBELT CLOSURE
Both Mutant hipbelts use our exclusive modified
straight ErgoPull™ design. To operate, loosen the
webbing enough so that you can connect the center
buckle. Grasp the loose ends of the webbing on either
side and pull in and across evenly with both hands at
the same time.
MUTANT SERIES SHARED FEATURES / DETAILS
A-FRAME SKI CARRY
The reinforced A-frame ski carry loops found near the
base of either side of the Mutant work in conjunction
with the side compression/retention straps to provide
stable, easy to use A-frame ski carry. Simply slide your
skis tail through the loops until the bindings rest on the
loop and use the upper compression/retention strap to
secure to the side of the pack.
HYDRATION
A sewn-in hydration sleeve located on the inside of the
Mutant’s backpanel accepts up to a three liter reservoir
while the hydration exit ports on either side of the pack
allows routing either right or left using the elasticized
routing straps on the pack’s harness.
HYDRAULICS TM RESERVOIRS
Add an Osprey Hydraulics™ 2 or 3 liter hydration
reservoir or a Hydraulics™ LT 1.5 or 2.5 liter hydration
reservoir to your pack for stable, efficient, on-the-go
water management.
