The AK57 is the big brother to the AK47 and features the removable floating lid of the 47-X. The larger capacity of the AK57 makes it a suitable sac for lightweight expeditions on high altitude climbs, or for more traditional, less technical alpine routes.
Removable floating lid - for more versatile load-options
Side compression straps - quick and easy to fit or remove
Oversized back haul loop - easy to grab and clip
External and internal lid pockets - with taped seams for water-resistance
40mm webbing waistbelt with low-profile full-sized hip-fins
4mm Rivory-Joanny drawcords - can be used for emergency rap anchors
Internal sleeve for hydration bladder with an oversized port for insulated tubes
Two ice-axe holders
Stretch wand pockets
Reinforced double-layer base panel
NOTE
This updated model (from January 2007) also now has the same back sizing as the AK47 as opposed to the previous version which had a longer frame.
