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. With its 60 litres, it offers enough space for extra-long tours.
The innovative T-Rex carrying system with reduced contact points ensures effective ventilation and great 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.

There is a n awful ot to like about this pack, especially the low weight of 1.2kg, so nearly ultralight but still with a decent frame system to enable it to carry heavier loads. I know this is a recent revision, but to make the pack even better it would need: 1) a bigger shoulder strap pocket so it can easily take a 750ml water bottle, and ideally one on the second strap but still retaining the tracking pole feature; 2) slightly deeper hip belt pockets; 3) A stretch mesh vase pocket similar to the Atom Packs Prospector; 4) the side mesh pockets could do with being about 5cm taller; 5) an option of a main compartment size of 65 or 70 litres; 6) the padding element of the shoulder straps could be longer; 7) the lightweight 3mm thick spacer mesh fabric over the back panel of the rucksack, because even though the design does tend to sit away from your back giving good ventilation, there are areas/times when it is against your back and this material would greatly help to wick away perspiration but doesn't retain water from rain.
