HB-29
Marmot Femme Nikita 50 Women's Internal Frame Backpack

HB-29 is a medium-sized (3100 cubic inches) tote.  The frame covers an 18 to 21 inch torso range – has been used by a 13 year old just under 5’ tall.  Like HB-27, this pack has a detachable rear pocket to carry essentials as a daypack.  Front panel allows access to the gear without unpacking everything.  It has pocket and port for a hydration system (not supplied by the club).  With camping gear being lighter and smaller these days, this pack would be adequate for a lightweight weekend trip. 

This backpack was obtained for the 2005 season for $190.  Marmot appears to have discontinued this specific model in 2006 with its Diva line as a replacement.  Similar packs would be Osprey’s Ariel and Mountain Hardwear’s Kite.
