The lightweight concept means you can pack it into compact carrying solutions. Whether you’re climbing steep trails before sunrise or crossing rugged ridgelines, the low pack volume ensures you travel without unnecessary weight.
Confidence in Remote Locations

Skywalk has chosen a combination of lightweight yet durable fabrics to ensure that the ARAK AIR 2 performs for years without premature wear. Reinforced leading edges and optimized seam placements enhance longevity without adding excess weight.
