Rab Women’s Protium ND 18L Lightweight Backpack – Hiking Daypack (Anthracite)

All‑mountain ready daypack with a close-to-body feel

The Rab Women’s Protium ND 18L is designed for day trips that mix gentle trails with technical terrain. Its design aims for a stable, near‑body carry that stays comfortable as you move, helping you concentrate on the route rather than your gear. The back panel uses Rab’s Air Contour suspension, delivering semi‑rigid support that hugs your torso while still allowing a natural range of motion for scrambling or navigating rugged ground.

Durability and weather protection are built in. The main body uses Hydroshield-coated Robic Nylon Ripstop, chosen for long‑lasting resistance to abrasion and light moisture. When weather shifts, a removable rain cover slips on to keep critical items dry without needing to switch packs. For adjustability, the back length is designed to be responsive, and the hipbelt and padded shoulder straps are forward‑pull adjustable to help you find a personalized fit for your frame.
