OUR ORIGINAL BACKPACKING PACK

The 2400 Windrider is the pack that super-efficient thru hikers and backpackers graduate down to when their kits are dialed, and the calories and fuel they need along the way are never too hard to find. Ideal for weekend or section hikes where frequent resupply points are available.

There’s a kind of classic image that comes to mind when you hear the word “hiking.” Dense green and brown forests with meandering rugged root-strewn trails lead to awe-inspiring hill and mountain panoramas, and rivers and streams lull tired explorers to sleep at the end or strenuous but rewarding days. These are the environments where the Windrider takes flight.

The Best Backpack You've Come to Expect!
I've always wanted it, but I finally got it this time. By using the hardness of the main body, it becomes easier to get used to and use. It is an item that you want to use for a long time.

Hands Down Best Pack I've Ever Owned
Overall the best pack I've ever purchased. Very strong, durable, lightweight material, I'm anticipating years of heavy use won't phase this pack. I found Hyperlite after a cheap lightweight pack I purchased began to fall apart after less than 100 miles. I'd so much rather pay a little more for rugged gear than skimp and be frustrated with cheap junk!

2400 is Perfect
The bag is very well made and sits perfectly on my body (5’10” 205). This was my first time buying a bag without trying it first so i was little nervous. Took it over the weekend at a section at AT (25 miles). No issues or complaints.

Good!

I bought it after seeing many Japanese campers and hikers using it.

It was a good product that lived up to the reviews.

I use it for camping, so I'd like to be more creative with my packing.

Waited for the best

Jist got it...already has 50 AT miles on it and I LOVE IT!!! Rides well on my back...my carry weight is around 23lbs and I didnt feel any discomfort anywhere after a 25 mile day. The only things I found not perfect was tightening of the hip belt sucks and the hip pockets would not convenient to get in and out of . Overall....I LOVE IT

Superb Pack

I purchased a Windrider not long after completing a thru-hike of the AT in 2014, having been impressed by what I heard from those carrying the pack on the trail. Since then I've carried the pack on climbing, backpacking, and paddling trips. The pack has held up extremely well, and it is reliably weather resistant. During my latest trip to the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness it sat on the bottom of a canoe and kept my gear dry despite heavy rain and a partial submersion. There was some isolated, minor dampness near the bottom of the pack, which didn't compromise anything and which is fine by me considering the pack wasn't really designed for that use. I've never stopped being amazed by how light the pack is, and how well it carries. I would absolutely recommend this pack.

Hyperlite is great

So far, after only one 4-day hiking trip, I am very hapy with the pack.
