Description
The Quest is one of three full-suspension backpacking, trekking, and mountaineering packs in GoLite’s Venture Series. The Venture packs (Pursuit, Quest, and Odyssey) feature internal frame sheets that can accommodate 40-, 50-, and 60-pound loads and are all 3-liter hydration-compatible.
The Quest is designed for all-season backpacking, mountaineering, alpinism, and adventure travel, and hauls 60 pounds comfortably, while weighing just three. It features two side hydration openings and an internal hydration sleeve; a front pocket to hold a shovel, shovel handle, skins, or probe; a removable lid with welded watertight zipper for the top pocket; two angled side mesh pockets; the ability to carry skis, snowboards, or snowshoes using side compression straps; a frame sheet with two adjustable aluminum stays; a shaped back panel and hip wings with padding to contour the back and hips; and contoured, compression molded hip wings that cushion and cup the hips.
The Quest uses GoLite’s ComPacktor system, which lets you reduce the pack’s volume through two fixed compression anchor clips that convert a multi-day pack into a day-tripper.

From Backcountry.com:
"Count on the 3lb 2oz GoLite Quest Pack when you need one ultralight backpack for all your alpine climbing and backpacking trips. Though this simple, no-frills backpack holds a beefy 4250cu inches of gear on week-long trips, it compacts down to a tiny 1500cu inches for your summit push or day hike. GoLite gave the Quest Pack two aluminum stays which you can remove along with the top lid to shave weight when ounces count. The large front pocket holds anything from a headlamp to a snow shovel, and the hip-belt pocket keeps you sunscreen and compass easily accessible."
