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
There’s a kind of classic image that comes to mind when you hear the word “backpacking.” Dense green and brown forests with meandering rugged root-strewn trails, busy rivers, ancient lakes, and awe-inspiring hills and mountain panoramas are where the Windrider takes flight.
Functional, weather resistant, and perfect for wet, dense, wooded trails, The Windrider is our original ultralight backpack.

UNBOUND
There is simply no better way to measure the effectiveness of a pack design than to send it out on thru hikes. Every carefully considered feature fought for its right to remain, leaving only the essentials required for an efficient, comfortable, adaptable, and dependable travel companion. Thru hiking is hard enough. Let the Unbound carry some of the weight.

- Thru Hiking
