Gossamer Gear Skala 38 Ultralight Backpack

Product Details

Equipment Description

Skala features a sturdy yet lightweight frameless design with a classic roll-top main compartment. The top ends can be fastened for quick opening and closing, or the roll-top can be secured from the side using optional side straps. It also features a new hook-and-loop compression mechanism for easy tightening and loosening of the water bottle bag.

Size and fit

The Skala 38 comes in only one size and is suitable for users with back lengths of 18" to 21".

Method for measuring back length:

Starting from the seventh cervical vertebra (C7) at the base of the neck, bend your neck and touch the first protrusion as the starting point.

Next, locate the center point of the upper edge of the iliac crest on both sides, and point your thumbs at this point.

Finally, have someone else help measure the distance from C7 to the center point of the iliac crest, which is the back length.
