Best Pack I’ve Ever Used
I primarily operate in the south east, which rains a lot, this pack has kept my gear bone dry. Love the simplicity and rides more comfortably than any of my larger packs.

So Happy
Delivery box felt like it was empty. Just putting it on, you know you’ll be flying over terrain. Inaugural hike was 20 miles long and much of that through snow, so happy to have a sweet new toy.

Love it!

I was amazed by how much weight that the pack helped me trim. I have plenty of room for all my stuff. I appreciate how close to your back it keeps the weight reducing the weight fulcrum. The sizing chart made it easy to order the correct size. I highly recommend this pack.

Excellent pack for hiking & travel

I planned on using this backpack for my overnight hike on Mt. Fuji & it was just right. The backpack was also an excellent travel backpack to and from Tokyo even without extra pockets & was easily resized to be a carry-on instead of having to check it in.

Awesome for lighter loads

For what it's designed for awesome. Super light, simple, love the big mesh storage, water bottle holders could be a bit fatter to accommodate more items; a few grips here and there, but overall a well thought-out and implemented pack.

I really put this thing through its paces with 70+ pounds backcountry skiing at Mt Baker, WA. I know this is not what its designed for but I was a little disappointed that some of the straps started to tear and the pack itself sustained a few abrasion holes.

Comfortable and extra light

I replaced my Gregory 55l with this pack and can somehow fit 30% more gear. This pack has a lot of room and is very light and comfortable to carry.

Hyperlite junction 55 backoack

What an awesome backpack! Ultralight, sturdy material and very sturdy bottom. Waterproof! Easily holds all my stuff. I’m switching from Osprey backpack at 3.5 lbs to the H M G 55 at 2.1 lbs. simple but very effective backpack and can’t wait till May to hit the Appalachian Trail with it again!
