JanSport® Launches New Women's Outdoor Collection for Spring 2012
Introducing a line of sleeker, smaller silhouettes designed explicitly for women
San Leandro, Calif., (August 4, 2011) - JanSport®, the original outdoor gear Brand that equips people globally with quality backpacks, travel gear and collegiate apparel, today unveiled its new women's collection of outdoor packs. Launching this spring, JanSport's new women's line is comprised of two innovative packs designed specifically to fit a woman's curvature. Ergonomic shoulder straps and hip belts have been reengineered to optimize fit and performance specifically for women. Adding style to function, both packs are available in Aspen Blue/Bijou Blue/Sulphuric Green and Primal Purple/Electric Purple color combinations.
The JanSport Women's Outdoor Collection is comprised of two packs:
Traverse 20L
The Traverse is a clean, modern, functional day pack designed specifically for women. It is the perfect day pack for those quick outdoor adventures. The pack features breathable, perforated EVA foam on the shoulder straps, hip belt and back panel, as well as slimmer ergonomic shoulder straps and hip belt for optimal comfort. Additional features include a quick access hydration sleeve, dual tool loops, zippered front pockets, dual side compression, and dual
stretch mesh water bottle pockets.
Cienega 32L
The Cienega is the ultimate hiking pack for those short overnight trips with great organizational features for immediate access to gear on the trail. Designed with slimmer ergonomic shoulder straps, the Cienega is constructed from fully padded, perforated EVA foam for load support on the shoulder straps, back panel and hip belt. Other innovative features include quick access hydration compartment, dual tool loops, mesh stash hip belt pockets for small items, dual side compression, and dual stretch mesh side water bottle pockets.
"Specifically designed to meet the needs of any female outdoor enthusiast, the new JanSport Women's Outdoor Collection takes into account pack sizes and shapes that we felt were missing from the marketplace," said Jeff Ladra, JanSport Product Developer. "Both packs are uniquely tailored to fit the female frame, and we're excited to introduce a higher standard of women's packs this spring."
