Vega 40 hiking backpack
Affordable, very well-equipped backpack with a suspended mesh back and height-adjustable shoulder straps. Ideal for weekend hikes.
The Highlander Vega 40 hiking backpack is comfortable and very well equipped at an affordable price.
Carrying system: adjustable, well-ventilated back
This Vega 40 backpack offers excellent ventilation thanks to a suspended mesh back. The mesh back maintains a gap between the hiker's back and the pack at all times, including at the lower back, for maximum ventilation and reduced perspiration.

The relatively slim hip belt wraps well around your hips for stability and freedom of movement.
