OUR SIMPLE, HIGHLY VERSATILE MULTISPORT PACK

The Porter 55 faces eclectic gear closets and open schedules without fear! It’s the pack we recommend to adventurers that prioritize simplicity and functionality and don’t settle for one mode of travel. Ideal for weekend, section, or thru hikes where resupply points are less frequent and/or for equipment flexibility. When the extra volume is not in use, the 55’s top can roll down enough to make the overall size of the pack similar to the 40, but that additional space can come in pretty handy when you need it.

We designed the Porter for the expert ultralight backpacker or climber who moves fast, goes far and travels light. Made from 100% waterproof Dyneema® Composite Fabrics (formerly Cuben Fiber), this backpack is highly durable and weather resistant. Use it with our Stuff Sacks for a nearly perfect waterproof kit.

We needed a lightweight and super strong pack for extra gear during long snowshoe hikes and this is perfect for the amount of storage space as well as extreme durability.

Comfy, Spacious

The more you put into it, the comfier it gets. I'm a 5'9 female and the medium fits perfectly. Great for a minimalist and those who wish to customize their pack, as there are many loops to lash attachments on.

Most Comfortable Pack

This is the most comfortable pack I've ever owned. I'm not a 'nested pockets/bells & whistles' kind of guy. This pack is simple, and set up so you can add or remove features as desired. It fit my needs perfectly, and was sooo lightweight and comfortable that I never thought anything other than 'this pack is great!'
