While not the lightest ultralight pack on the market, Exos is definitely one of the most comfortable! With the airspeed frame providing great airflow between the bag and your back, this is a great stepping stone for those making the switch to ultralight while maintaining some of their classic gear. The classic drawstring top opening has a twist, with the ability to detach the brain for shorter trips. Quickdraw hiking pole storage and all the pockets you'd expect, It's no wonder this pack is a hot seller!

“The breathability of the harness makes it ideal for hot weather, and it lives up to its comfort claims, rivalling more heavily built packs, even with a heavy load.”
