Put this to the Test!

"I bought this pack for my 10 day run across Iceland(215 miles) I needed to hold a lot more gear then I typically run with. It did great holding all gear: food, water, puffer, emergency kit, rain gear my Black diamond rain jacket was awesome as well! I went through all different conditions from 20-30 mile an hour winds with dust, rain and sleet and my pack kept my stuff clean and dry! I would recommend this pack on any long run/trek."

The Finest Ultralight Pack I've Used

"Super light, water resistant, good pocket layout on the straps, love that it comes in several volumes for different load needs. Was very comfortable fast packing with two extra liters of water, tons of snacks, a Nanopuff, a Helinox Speed Stool (in a pole pocket) and a few other things with plenty of room to spare. I look forward to using it for quickly accessing backcountry streams; an 8-piece-9' rod fits in the pole pocket perfectly. I won't hesitate to purchase another if I need additional capacity. Tremendous value. Also, the white color way looks dope."

Perfect hydration + storage combo

"I've been eyeing this pack since it's first iteration. I was thrilled to finally purchase it and use it for my runs. It's super ergonomic; I love using it to run to work with my gear inside, perfect for x2 500ml flasks, keeps my hydrated in the FL heat! I can't recommend this pack enough. The ripstop nylon is also a game-changer, means this pack will last me a very long time."

Perfect mountain pack

"Grabbed this for speed runs in the White Mountains. Perfect combination of size (layers, shell, bit of food) and speed. Will be my go to alps pack for lower altitude stuff."

— Louie O. (5/5)

Snug fit with a flaw

"First off this is a great do it all bag to have and use. It can hold everything you need to move through the mountains and thier changing weather. Its a snug fit, pole sleeves are great, the pockets are a good size for snacks, bear spray and little gadgets. I really enjoy the zipper pocket. All pretty easy transitions. The disappointment is in the unbelievable amount of sweat that soaks through into it (and cant get out). Everything inside becomes wet. Thats no fun when you want to pull out a layer for the cold!"

— Steve (3/5)

Perfect climbing bag

"An awesome size bag for long days/ pitches climbing. Chest pockets are stellar when you just need a quick snack. Closure system could use some improvement and kinda bummed it didn’t come with a hydration bladder or soft flasks at least"

— Gustavo S. (5/5)

Does the job

"Seems well constructed and comfy. Not very adjustable though so make sure you get the correct size."

— Henry L. (5/5)

Ultra light, ultra comfortable

"This pack fits great and really feels like an extension of my body. Perfect amount of storage for peak bagging. I look forward to putting it to use this year on several 14ers."

— Todd S. (5/5)
