Gregory Alpinsto 50<\/strong><\/p>\n The Gregory Alpinsto 50 is designed for professional mountaineers and serious athletes who demand exceptional performance from their gear in tough, alpine conditions. Built on Gregory\u2019s brand new Fusion Flex\u2122 suspension, the Alpinisto can comfortably carry up to 35 pounds. Features include a fully-stowable crampon pocket on the outside of the pack, constructed from durable TPU to protect from sharp crampon points; an ice tool attachment system that is compatible with all modern tool head designs; and sled-pull attachment points that are integrated into the waist belt to create a stable pulling platform for big loads en route to basecamp. For even more versatility, the waist belt padding, frame sheet, stay and included bivy pad can be removed to reduce the packs weight by 35%, delivering a 2 pound \u201cstripped\u201d version of the pack for weight-conscious alpinists..
