3400 Southwest
Starting at $379.00
On rugged and tight trails, the 3400 Southwest is a flexible performer that can adapt and handle the way gear volumes change for weekend, section, or thru hikes. Ideal when resupply points are less frequent and/or for equipment flexibility is needed. When the extra volume is not in use, the 3400’s top can roll down enough to make the overall size of the pack similar to the 2400, but that additional space can come in pretty handy when you need it.
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.

Amazing Bag, everything I was hoping for.
Finished my first trip with the backpack and loved it! Super easy to pack and held all my gear with extra space to spare for a 5 day hike in the back country.
Great Pack!
I was a little nervous to switch to an ultralight pack, but really, my heavy backpack was the last main item that was limiting my ability to get into a lighter overall pack weight status. I love the Hyperlite Southwest pack. It fits well, feels great, and is very rugged. I expected it to get far more dirty, but after my first 2 trips out it still looks white. It seems to stay cooler against my back. The pockets on the belt have quality, rugged zippers and can easily hold sun screen, bug spray, iphone, and trail snacks. The pouch on the back is divided into 3 areas and gear stays put well and doesn't seem to snag on things. I like the roll top feature so you can size the pack as needed to fit the contents. I highly recommend this pack if you have your base weight dialed to less than 10-12 pounds.
Amazing pack!
I am a bit afraid of abrasions piercing the bottom of the backpack as I lift it from the ground from sharp mountains and rocks. I am very careful not to drag it accross any surface, always lift. Love the pack! Can't wait for more adventures!
Like a glove
It isn’t the lightest ultralight, nor the cheapest, not the most versatile. But if you are looking for SIMPLE, High Quality, and still ULTRA LIGHT than this is your pack. Expensive sure, but you get every dollar worth out of it. This pack also fits your back like a glove. Take the time to measure yourself and you won’t miss those load lifters.
Love this pack
I think these are the best packs out there. The external pockets are perfect for 5 liters of water (using Smartwater bottles,) the built-in waist-band pockets are perfect, it's super comfortable right out of the box, and the velcro at the top actually makes a big difference in making it super easy to do a quick closure so stuff doesn't fall out, even when you're not ready to totally seal it. I also like the strap system across the top. Most of all, it's lightweight and there are no extras!
