Hyperlite Mountain Gear channeled Edward Abbey when they designed the Southwest 70. Made for desert rats, this burly beast works perfectly for the longest, most inhospitable, arid trails or bushwhacking adventures. Though similar to Hyperlite's Windrider, they replaced mesh outer pockets that snag on brush with solid Dyneema® Hardline exterior pockets.
Use this big-volume expedition pack for multi-adventure travels to the most remote regions of the world where resupplies are infrequent. Other excellent uses for this pack include extended winter hikes or family trips where the kiddos aren’t yet carrying their own gear. Made from 100% waterproof Dyneema® Composite Fabrics (formerly Cuben Fiber) and with additional elastic frame sheet support for extra load carrying capacity, this ultralight backpack is highly durable and weatherproof. Organize and further protect your clothes, gear and sleeping bag from bad weather using Hyperlite Stuff Sacks.
Formerly known as the 4400 Southwest Pack. Packaging may have either name but the product is identical.
