The Skala combines a tough yet lightweight frameless design with a backpacking classic: the roll-top main compartment. Secure the top by clipping the ends together for quick access, or fasten it down the sides with the optional side buckles. Easily reach your water bottle pocket using the latest cleat compression hardware, which cinches on and off when needed.
The Skala is designed with two new fabrics to Gossamer Gear, our new Riptide fabric made from 100D Recycled Ripstop and an extra durable UHMWPE Stretch Mesh.
We meticulously scrutinized every component to maximize ultralight performance.
With a generous 38L capacity, it’s the ideal size for overnight adventures that push your limits.
The Skala 38 is available in one size and while this pack performs for a wide range of body sizes, it best fits a torso between 18" - 21".
Torso length:
Start at the C7 vertebra at the base of your neck. The best way to find this is to bend your neck and feel the first bump along the base of your neck. This bump is where you will want to start your measurement.
Next, you'll want to find the midpoint between your iliac crest. To find your iliac crest, cup your hipbones on both sides and find the center point on your spine. This midpoint is where your thumbs should be pointing.
Finally, you'll need help measuring from the C7 vertebra to your iliac crest. From there, you'll have your torso measurement.
