The Germans did it right with this one. Whether you’re a beginner hiker on a short excursion, or an advanced level LARPer/ hunter - this pack will hold all essentials you need for comfortable survival. Nylon exterior + Rubber liner keeps your gear dry if you set it on wet ground. Obviously it won’t stay waterproof if you float with it down a river…duh… but we have walked more than 20 miles in the rain, and even stuck these packs under a waterfall for 30 seconds and our supplies remained dry.
Here’s the specs:
- weighs ~ 3.5 lbs empty
- 2 deep side pockets + top pocket + top zipper pouch + bottom zipper for easy access to gear down there
- main compartment dimensions = 23” x 12” x 11”
- Quick release buckles for top flap and blanket/sleep pad straps
- shoulder pads
- partial metal frame runs horizontally near your back for a little extra support
