Nemo Resolve Women’s 35L Endless Promise Technical Active Daypack

A full day on the Six Foot Track, a summit push on Federation Peak's approach, or a night out at a high camp in Kosciuszko: the Nemo Resolve Women's 35L Endless Promise is sized for days that need more than a water bottle and a muesli bar, and shaped to carry it on a women's frame.

Who it's for

Women walkers, and anyone with a shorter torso, doing long day hikes or light overnights. It holds the extras that make a big day comfortable: a warm layer and a shell, a full lunch, first-aid kit and camera. Pack it lean and it handles a fast overnight with a compact sleep system. For week-long trips with all your food, step up to a dedicated multi-day pack.

Capacity, and what actually fits

35 L takes a day's layers, food and water with room left over, or for an overnight a compact bag, mat, small cook set and breakfast. Removable compression straps move between the sides and the base to lock down a half-full load or carry a foam mat.

How it carries

Wide, flexible shoulder straps mould over the shoulders and sit close to your sides, and the active-inspired shape moves with you rather than swaying. The back is CCubed, Nemo's 97% air cushioning, which wicks sweat away instead of holding it like foam. On a humid climb in the Border Ranges you will notice the difference.

Fitting it

The back panel adjusts to fit torso lengths of 38-48 cm. Measure from the bony bump at the base of your neck to the line across the tops of your hip bones, set the back panel to match, then tighten the shoulder straps so the pack rides close. Over 48 cm, the men's Resolve 35L, at 43-53 cm, is the better fit.

Access and organisation

• Side access into the main compartment for gear at the bottom
• 8 exterior pockets including 2 on the hip belt
• 3 zippered and 6 open compartments
• Hidden security pocket
• Adjustable side pockets for a big bottle or a layer
• Hydration compatible

Weight

1.24 kg empty for 35 L, in a pack 61.5 x 32 x 23 cm. The CERO shell is woven from solution-dyed fibres with up to three times the tear strength of standard pack fabric and sheds showers well. It is water-resistant, not waterproof, so a pack liner goes in when rain sets in.

Looking after it

As an Endless Promise pack, Resolve is fully recyclable, built to be repaired and kept in use, and Nemo take it back for recycling when it is finally retired. Clean off mud and dry it out of the sun after wet trips.
