Adaptable and discreet, Axiom has been engineered as a flexible carry system for daily adventures and key companion for journeys abroad.

Clean design and a subdued aesthetic conceal the versatility and capability of the Axiom platform. The Axiom 18 brings the DNA of our  award-winning Axiom X25 into a compact package built to move fast. Within its weatherproof and streamlined shell, Axiom's flexible layout and configurable storage adapt to your changing needs and seamlessly manage chaos.

• Accessible

  Protected from the main compartment's contents and padded for comfort against your back, an ambidextrous zippered pocket on the back panel protects flat equipment such as tablets or laptops up to 13”.

  A generous front admin pocket offers multiple storage options, including an integrated admin panel, keeping everyday carry items organized and accessible.

  An external zippered pocket opening from the bottom of the pack bellows upward into the main body, providing segregated storage for dirty items, such as gym attire or shoes, or quick access items like bike locks and medical supplies.

  A zippered accessory pocket on the top of the pack provides convenient access to frequently used items, such as sunglasses or snacks.

  A flat, centered welt pocket conceals 3 rows of single-column 1” webbing, compatible with small accessories such as Pharos Markers, bike lights, or even our S1 and S2 sheaths.

• Organized

  Inspired by the intermodal container system, the Helix (HX) attachment system provides a lightweight, modular solution for configuring storage platforms. Helix supports standardized, interconnecting modules which can be configured as fixed or railed storage, a multitude of compression and attachment options, and paneled storage configurations.

  The main compartment includes two rows of Helix attachment points along the back panel for use with a wide range of organizing accessories, including Transport Cubes, Control Panels, and Transport Sleeves. Additional webbing loops at the top and bottom pair with our Compression Strap Kit to secure bulky loads, and provide a blank canvas for configuration options.

• Resilient

  The Axiom 18 utilizes advanced materials to create a lightweight but resilient carry system. Originally developed as a high-performance sailcloth, the shell is a durable, weather-resistant ripstop nylon hydrostatically laminated with a structurally reinforcing scrim.
