Product Description

With its ultra-lightweight construction and adjustable back system, the Lightning was developed for trekking tours where low weight and high carrying comfort are crucial.

The innovative T-Rex carrying system with reduced contact points ensures effective ventilation and freedom of movement. The back length can be precisely adjusted, while the efficient load transfer to the hip belt ensures a stable and comfortable fit even with a heavier pack weight.

Sophisticated pack volume management allows flexible adjustments. The zig-zag compression straps are easy to adjust and, together with the roll-top fastener, allow variable volume control. They also secure larger equipment such as a sleeping mat or flysheet. Generous mesh outer pockets, zipped pockets on the hip belt and modular attachment points support clear organisation.

Made from ultra-light ripstop nylon with a reinforced polyester base, the Lightning combines minimal weight, durable performance and well thought-out design.

  • Full pack compression system

    Front & side compression system shrinks pack size or expands to allow more room.

  • Adjustable T-Rex frame suspension

    Height-adjustable T-Rex frame suspension system with aluminum stay & stiff cross top piece provides excellent load control while still flowing with your movement.

  • More gear attachment points

    Numerous external pockets (including 2 stretch water bottle pockets, stretch front pocket & zippered top lid pocket) & attachments points provide ample options for securing gear.

  • Padded hip belt

    Comfortable padded hip belt with zippered pockets supports load control & weight distribution.

  • Rolltop closure w/ zippered access

    Rolltop closure provides an extra-wide pack opening; a top zipper provides quick access to gear & essentials when the rolltop is closed.

  • Load control straps

    Load control straps ensure a comfortable, custom fit.
