Hyperlite Elevate 22
|
Hyperlite launched a new bag today that looks like it could check off the boxes for a great summit pack. Aside from the outrageous price... I know, I know.. what are everyone's thoughts? Any glaring issues I'm overlooking? Seems similar to the Tufa Mochilla, but more-better. |

The pack has an actual hip belt with some padding-that is relatively unique for the weight. |

Just get a bd blitz, carry's weight much better than it should and packs a lot more than 28L all for half the price, Don't get me wrong I like hyperlight but the blitz is lighter and cheaper than the hyperlight whilst still carrying weight very well. |

Grade7 is dropping their summit/haul bag line this summer… if quality and weight are anything like their Pods, then there’s no contention against them. Edit: and MEC just came out with a 480g pack for 140CAD, with running-vest straps and stabilizer straps. mec.ca/en/product/6020-286/… |

250 for that pack is foolish. I love this one. Wild country synchro. Under a hundred bucks. Climbs nice. Has the things you need. |
|
I would do your research on DCH50 - some will categorize this as a "consumable" material. 25lb load limit is pretty good for a 22L pack tho. |
|
You deserve better than a $250 summit pack lmao. I get that people like HMG and all but come on |
|
Hyperlite really has a corner on the "packs for active but slightly overweight dentists" market |

The "owns a $100,000 built-out Sprint van" crowd sure is harsh.

Ironically the only person I know to have a hyper light pack is a Physician |

I like the pack myself. Not for climbing-but for long hiking days. I’ve had to modify the alpha fl by adding on water bottle carriers etc. the addition of a waist belt helps for the 12 hour days when you’re scrambling or ridge running. I don’t think the pack was designed to be a climbing pack. Now whether it’s worth $250 is a different question and the reason I haven’t bought one. |

I believe the hyperlite is waterproof? The other suggestions here are not. This is a feature worth noting IMHO... |

John Edwinwrote: waterproof pack body is a nice quality of life improvement when in wet/temperate climates like the pnw can be.. much nicer than using stuff sacks and letting the pack body wet out, or having to carry one of those annoying sack covers to cover it up No comment on this bag though, I probably wouldn’t spend that much on a 20l bag |
|
supposedly it’s not seam-sealed, so… |

I personally like the convenience of having a water proof pack. I found an Exped Black Ice 45 lightly used for $50 a few years ago. I have been using that as my go to ski touring, alpine climbing and even back packing bag since. The roll top allows it to pack down very small so it's a decent day pack too. It is very nice not having to worry about rain getting the stuff in my bag wet or increasing the weight of the bag by getting everything waterlogged. That bag appears to be more waterproof than the hyperlite.... edit to add pic...  |
