The catalyst was the second backpack I bought. When ordering the catalyst, I was torn between the green and the purple. I am a guy that likes the color green. Ultimately I chose the purple one because I thought it looked nicer. I picked the catalyst over the ohm due to its size.

The total volume of the catalyst is 460 in.³ about 75 L. It comes in green, camo, orange, purple blaze, and red robic. The max load for the catalyst is 40 pounds or less the sweet spot is probably right around 20 pounds. It has mesh a front pockets, and mesh side pockets. This is a great pack for people who need to carry a large load size, it can be checked as baggage on the plane. Weighing only 48 ounces, including all the extras this pack the toughest duties.

This bag has a few removable pieces such as the hydration sleeve. Water bottle holsters and hand loops. There’s two options for shoulder straps one is to J straps which are traditional steps that work mostly for men bless your bodybuilder you also have an option for what the call in S trap. Yes try works best for most women

Every bear canister on the market other than the Bearikade Expedition Will fit into the catalyst horizontally. Keep in mind it is best to pack something between the hard side canister in the bottom of the pack. Each cent pocket can accommodate 21 later big slam style bottles

The catalyst is a well-made backpack. If I had to do it over I would have balked the catalyst first. If you’ve enjoyed this review please share this article or like us on Facebook.
