Jump to: Our Verdict / Features / Specifications

Lightweight, low profile, and stable belt pack ideal for fast paced mountain days, built with the ventilated Air Contour lumbar pad. Keep your upper body free, stash all the essentials and press on with the ascent.

Rab says: 

Crafted for fast-paced hikes and scrambles, the Aeon LT 5 is ideal for stashing essentials and keeping your upper body free for ultimate mobility over tough terrain. Providing 5L of secure storage, this low-profile belt pack is lightweight and pre-curved for a stable, comfortable fit and reduced bounce. The cushioning Air Contour™ lumbar pad is covered with a breathable open mesh, encouraging airflow and keeping you cool during high-energy ascents.

It’s easy for you to stay organised thanks to the dual zipped compartments and external mesh pockets, perfect for stashing snacks and other on-the-go supplies. You’ll also find a security pocket inside for your key or card, and webbing tabs on the outside of the pack for adding further storage.

Finished with a 100% fluorocarbon-free DWR, the Aeon LT 5 features an easy-pull side waist belt adjustment with padding, to give you a streamlined, comfortable fit and a full range of movement for fast-moving mountain days.

Our Verdict

A brilliant Belt Pack for fast paced hikes, scrambles and trail runs. The Aeon LT 5 Belt is designed to keep the minimal gear you need close to hand.

The Aeon LT5l belts utilise a tough 70D x 140D Nylon coated with a TriShield DWR that helps the pack shrug off light rain, sleet and snow. Rab has used their famous Air Contour cushioning on the belt pack, which will help keep you comfortable, encouraging air to circular between you and the pack, which helps keep you cool.

I like the offset buckle, which is kept away from the skin and reduces irritation when wearing the pack all day; it’s a strong and secure fastening you can have confidence in.

The pack has two half-size pockets rather than one huge one, which helps you to organise gear. Still, it does impact the pack’s ability to carry larger items, such as bulkier waterproofs, but consideration to webbing points has been made so you can still store these items on the outside of the pack. I love the stretch mesh pockets, perfect for storing snacks and gels.
