NorthRim

Best pack out there

I’ve gone through enough packs to confidently say that Hyperlite is the one you need. Whether through hiking or backpacking this pack takes the cake. The most noticeable things are the lightweight material, shedding lbs off your carry. The minimal frame is the perfect fit and structure to give the pack support and maintain the minimal weight. Lastly, I think the hip belt is one of the best out there. I’ve always struggled with the rigidity of hip belts. I’ve had to physically open them up to slide into the pack when taking them on and off which is very annoying. With that also comes the “cut”. With most packs the hard structure hip belts tend to cut into your hips throughout the day leaving you bruised and beat up and wanting to tap out of your trip. The Hyperlite hip belt is minimal but still optimal for use. It’s the first belt that is flexible to your body type and still very comfortable on the hips and light. These other packs are doing too much; too many pockets and zipper and straps. Best bag hands down.
