About this product
The Yeti Skala 40L is a women's hiking backpack designed for demanding day hikes that require a full load of gear. At 40 liters of capacity and a packed weight of 1,542 grams (3.4 lbs), it balances volume with a carry weight that stays manageable over long distances. Dimensions measure 12.5 x 11.3 x 25.3 inches (31.8 x 28.6 x 64.1 cm). The internal AlumaLite frame provides lightweight structural support, while padded and contoured shoulder straps with load lifters help distribute weight evenly across the body. A micro-adjustable harness accommodates a range of torso lengths for a dialed-in fit on uneven terrain. The vented mesh back panel promotes airflow to keep the back cool and dry during sustained effort. Guardcore Nylon construction keeps the overall weight low without sacrificing durability. A pull-to-open RipZip closure provides fast access to the main compartment, and stretch-woven hydration holsters keep bottles within easy reach. Multiple internal and external pockets organize items such as sunglasses, headlamps, safety kits, and cookware. Available in Ridgeline colorway.

What people are saying
Reviewers consistently praise the Yeti Skala 40L Women's for its exceptional comfort and weight distribution, crediting the heavily padded hip belt, micro-adjustable harness, load lifters, and vented mesh back panel. The signature RipZip pull-to-open access is a standout favorite, widely described as a genuine improvement over traditional top-loading packs for mid-hike gear retrieval. Build quality earns strong marks, with durable Guardcore nylon, YKK Aquaguard zippers, and Duraflex hardware all noted as premium. The women's-specific fit is appreciated for conforming naturally to the body. The most common criticisms are the high price (at $325) and the lack of a waterproof cover, as the pack is water-resistant but not fully waterproof. The unpadded top carry handle is also flagged as uncomfortable under load.
