Harness
ExoForm™

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!

These shoes are a super comfortable every-day wear if you’re on your feet a lot. I find that they reduce a lot of back pain I might otherwise get from standing for hours and keep your feet feeling springy and supported. I have not used these for trail running, however I do find that they slide off if you don’t use the extra lace hole. From my experience with customers trying these shoes, they are better suited to people with a more defined heel that a straight up heel. Huge fan of the comfort and even bigger fan of the colours!

Fit Tip: Great fit for wider feet, a little less secure on the heel but otherwise quite true to size.
