ULTRALIGHT BACKPACKS
Ultralight Backpacks
The Southwest
When the route is thick with vegetation, requires the occasional up and over immovable objects, and calls for “suck in your gut and shimmy through” type moves, the Southwest is the backpack you want up-close and personal. This pack family is made specifically for tough adventures that would rip most other ultralight-style packs to shreds.

THE WINDRIDER

UNBOUND
There is simply no better way to measure the effectiveness of a pack design than to send it out on thru hikes.

Thru hiking is hard enough. Let the Unbound carry some of the weight.
