OWNERS MANUAL
BIOSTRETCH™ BODY WRAP HARNESS
The BioStretch™ Body Wrap harness is a wide conforming
shoulder harness that wraps the ribcage for comfortable
and secure fi t. Sewn-in, stretch woven pockets on either
side of the harness provide on-the–go access to food
and other needed items without removal of the pack.
An adjustable, quick release sternum strap provides a
variety of fi t positions and provides the torsional stability
needed during dynamic movement. To disengage the
sternum strap from the harness simply pull the fabric tab
found on either sternum strap buckle to release it from
the harness. To adjust the sternum strap, slide it up or
down on the harness rail into the desired position and the
backing tabs will hold it in place.
ERGOPULL™ WAISTSTRAP CLOSURE
The Kode Race features a fixed nylon waiststrap with
a modified straight ErgoPull™ closure to provide the
torsional stability needed during active, dynamic
movement. To operate, loosen the webbing enough
so that you can connect the center buckle. Grasp the
loose ends of the webbing on either side and pull in and
across evenly with both hands.
PANEL LOAD ACCESS
Zippered panel load access provides easy pack loading
and accessibility to internal contents while an internal,
toggled drop down fabric divider allows for single or
dual compartment use when utilizing the quick access
crampon pocket.
QUICK ACCESS POCKETS
A quick access, hook and loop crampon pocket on the
right side of the pack provides easy access and storage
of crampons without removing the pack while a stretch
woven skin pocket on the left side of the pack allows
for easy access and storage of skins without removing
the pack.
TOOL CARRY
A single ToolLock™ attachment works in conjunction with a bungee tool tie-off to
provide secure and easily accessible ice tool carry.
To use:
1 Route the ToolLock™ clip through the eyelet on the head of your ice tool
2 Loosen the upper Y-Clip bungee to hold the ice tool handle, flip the handle up
and secure by tightening the bungee. Reverse this process to remove the tools
HYDRATION
A sewn-in hydration sleeve located on the inside of the
backpanel accepts up to a three liter reservoir and works
in conjunction with a left side harness hydration exit port
to deliver on-the-go hydration. A sewn-in reservoir hanger
holds your hydration system in place.
HYDRAULICS TM RESERVOIR
Add an Osprey Hydraulics™ 2 or 3 liter hydration
reservoir or a Hydraulics™ LT 1.5 or 2.5 liter hydration
reservoir to your pack for stable, effi cient, on-the-go
water management.
DIAGONAL SKI CARRY
An on-the-go diagonal ski carry harness retention
strap works in conjunction with lower ski carry loop to
allow ski carry and removal without taking off the pack,
saving both time and effort when the terrain requires
boot packing.
To utilize:
1 Locate the adjustable ski carry strap on the
right harness and remove from the nylon loop to
disengage
2 Undo the hook and loop tab holding the lower, left
side diagonal ski carry loop to the pack body and
slide skis in tail first, base to base, until the ski
bindings are resting on the ski carry loop.
3 Pull the skis across the pack body to the right
harness ski carry strap and adjust the strap to the
proper length pulling up on the locking buckle tab to
lengthen
4 Engage the upper ski carry strap around the skis
and tighten the strap to provide stable, accessible
carry. Reverse this process to remove skis.
