Manufacturer's Description:
The G5 Hyperlight pack is one of the lightest packs with a hip belt on the planet. It is designed to effectively incorporate the "dual use" technique of ultralight backpacking. Your sleeping pad (NightLight torso, Z-Lite/Z-Rest, Thermarest 3/4 length, or other 20"-wide pad) becomes the pack frame by inserting into the back of the pack. The shoulder straps and hip belt are designed to accept unused articles of clothing as padding. Foam inserts are included if you are disinclined to use sleeping socks, gloves etc as your padding.
This pack is recommended for only the lightest backpackers. Typically, if you are careful with your gear, place an extreme emphasis on low pack weight, are willing to replace gear more frequently as it wears out, and have a base pack weight before food and water of 10 lbs or less, you may be a candidate for a G5. If you are wondering if the G5 is right for you, then it is not.
Use for ultralight backpacking with total loads of 20 lbs (9 kg) or less.
