60 + 5L Ultralight Hiking Backpack
- 60 L at 1,220 g
- Dyneema option available
- 15 kg carry capacity
Sixty-five litres at 1,160 g, which is around 700 g lighter than a conventional pack of the same capacity. The frame is fixed rather than adjustable, and that is part of how the weight comes down. A Dyneema-reinforced fabric option is available for rougher ground.
Best for
Three to five night hikes for anyone carrying under 15 kg and hikers who count grams on the pack itself as well as its contents.
Not ideal for
Loads over 15 kg, where the 55 + 5L or 70 + 5L carry heavier kit better. Also not the choice if you fall outside a regular back length, since this frame is fixed and comes in one size only.
Additional features
- Large stretch mesh front pocket for a wet jacket or a map
- Side and top shock cords for securing poles, a mat or a jacket
- Water-repellent ripstop fabric with a built-in rain cover
- 5 litre extension collar above the main compartment
- Dyneema option weaves Dyneema fibres into the fabric for tear, puncture and abrasion resistance
Getting the fit right
Torso length is not the same as your height, and it matters more than anything else for how a pack carries. Feel for the bony bump at the base of your neck where it meets your shoulders, then place your hands on your hips with thumbs pointing back until they meet at the top of your hip bones. Measure along your spine between those two points.
If you are between packs or unsure whether the adjustment will suit your torso, contact our team before ordering and we will check against a unit in stock.
