NEW FAVORITE PACK

I purchased this to take on longer hikes/through hike. I currently have the Hyperlite 22L, but needed a bit more space. This has tons of room and fits me very well (I am 5’4”, 118lbs, bought a medium with the padded hip belt). I really love Hyperlite packs - well designed, crazy light, very comfortable. Back in the day, I had an Osprey. Used it until a bear tore it up. Then had a crazy heavy Arcteryx, and I’ll never go back after carrying the Hyperlite packs. 22 great for 1-2 nights out, but very minimal. 35 is downright spacious. Very durable. Thanks for making great gear!
