Weight: 12.3 oz

Measures approximately 34x10x8 inches (my measurements by tape)

This is an original pack produced summer 2019 and DOES NOT incorporate a modular shoulder strap system (advertised on the website today).Ā 

This pack is very basic (no loops for a hip belt accessory or back pad attachment points). The pack is cut from a single piece of fabric and closed with two side seams to increase its water resistance. The seams are not taped, however.

It has a stretchy continuous front/side pocket and a bottom pocket (blue section), as well as 6 separate pockets on the vest-style shoulder straps.

This pack is a ā€˜smallā€™ torso size of approximately 18ā€ (not so important since it’s a frameless pack with no no hip belt). The 40L capacity includes the pocket volume…the interior is roughly 31L (25L to the collar).

I used this pack for approximately 20 day hikes and 6 overnights. I was hoping to be able to use it for thru-hiking but Iā€™ve since determined that itā€™s just too small a volume to meet my needs. You need to be very committed to a minimalist, ultralight kit with this pack. But itā€™s great for overnights and short trips.Ā 

As far as wear/alterations go, due to little use and also because I take very good care of my gear, the pack is in excellent condition. The shoulder pocket material shows a little wear from items Iā€™ve stuck inside. The wear doesnā€™t amount to holesā€¦it just looks more worn as you can see by the light spots in the picture. Also, I trimmed a little off the ends of the chest straps but I think there should be a sufficient amount left for adjustments to a bigger chest size. If not, Nashville Packs can furnish new chest straps. The Liteskin (main body of the pack) looks brand new, with no holes, abrasions, or even creases.
