Honest weights

The trail weight on the spec table is the weight on our bench scale — 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 — snow in June, scree in August, 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.

    Dana K. · Skoki Loop, AB · Ridgeline 2P

  • “Seven days of food plus ladder mud and it never once felt like the pack was the problem.”

    Hannah W. · West Coast Trail, BC · Traverse 55
