I used cheap frameless Granite Gear Virga backpacks for a few years.
Switched to the Hyperlite 3400 Windrider in 2019. A BIG improve. Virtually indestructible.
After tons of of days with the Windrider, I splurged on the Hyperlite Unbound 55 Backpack based mostly on an Journey Alan overview.
Find it irresistible. Zero complaints. Higher than the Windrider, for my part.
Right here I’m with the Unbound calmly loaded on Kilimanjaro summit rim.
Click on PLAY or watch it on YouTube.
Right here I’m with the Unbound maximally loaded on the Quilotoa Loop in Ecuador.

Each my Hyperlite packs are in nice form. Little or no put on and tear displaying, thus far.
