MUTANT 28 UNIQUE FEATURES / DETAILS
ZIPPERED TOP ACCESS
Zippered, wide mouth bucket load top access 
provides easy access to the pack’s internal contents. 
Additionally, a top zippered slash pocket and zippered 
underlid mesh pocket with internal key clip keeps 
needed items organized and readily accessible.
ROPE COMPRESSION
In the same top zippered compartment that houses the 
helmet carry system you will also find an integrated 
rope compression strap. To use simply detach the metal 
clip found at the end of the nylon rope carry strap from 
the internal pocket loop and drape over coiled rope and 
attach the metal buckle to the sewn-in attachment 
strap at the external top of the pack to secure. Reverse 
this process to remove.
REVERSE WRAP HIPBELT
The EVA foam padded hipwings with gear loops and 
nylon waiststrap provide torsional stability and are 
designed to reverse wrap when a climbing harness is in 
use. Simply wrap the hipwings towards the front panel 
of the pack and engage via the hipstrap buckle through 
the reinforced fabric loop near the base of the pack’s 
front panel and tension to secure.

REVERSE WRAP HYBRID HIPBELT
The padded, EVA foam hipbelt with integrated gear 
loops and attachment points features Reverse Wrap 
hybrid technology designed specifically for use with 
climbing harnesses. 
1 Locate the two tab buckles on either hipbelt wing
connecting the hybrid waiststrap to the main 
hipbelt and twist to slide through the slot 
2 Wrap the hipbelt wings towards the two tab buckles
found just above the ToolLocks™ on either side of 
your pack and engage the tab buckles through the 
slots on the hipbelt wings to hold in place. Now you 
can engage the nylon waiststrap across your waist 
to provide torsional stability without interfering 
with the fit of your climbing harness.
REMOVABLE TOP POCKET
A floating, removable single compartment top pocket 
with internal key clip and helmet retention system 
keeps much needed items organized and accessible. 
To remove the top pocket:
1 Undo the two front top pocket retention strap 
buckles and the two quick release buckles 
connecting the top pocket to the pack’s 
backpanel.
2 Thread the nylon webbing through the retention
loops to remove the top pocket. Reverse this 
process to reattach the top pocket.
INTEGRATED FLAPJACKET™ CLOSURE SYSTEM
When your pack is being used without the removable 
top pocket, the FlapJacket™ lid deploys to provide 
main compartment protection from the elements and 
top-down compression to keep the pack load stable. 
To deploy the FlapJacket™, remove the top pocket as 
described above and deploy the FlapJacket™ over the 
main compartment using the top pocket retention 
straps to buckle and cinch into place. Beneath the 
FlapJacket™ there is a zippered mesh pocket to keep 
smaller items organized and accessible when the top 
pocket is not being used.
