Weighed twice. Tested a season. Repaired for life.
±0 g
Honest weights
The trail weight on the spec table is the weight on our bench scale: the median of five production units, not the lightest prototype we ever built.
1 season
Field-tested first
Nothing ships until a full cohort of testers has dragged it through a Rockies season of snow in June, scree in August and freezing rain whenever.
For life
The repair bench
Blown zip, torn fly, chewed hipbelt? Send it in and we fix it free, forever. A repaired pack beats a replaced one every time.
// The gear finder
Answer three questions. Get a packing list.
Tell us the trip, the season and how long you're out. The finder assembles a complete kit with a live total and a live pack weight, then loads the whole thing into your cart in one tap.
