Description

The Catalyst is an internal frame backpack made by ULA-Equipment. It has an average rating of 5 stars (out of 5), based on 3 user reviews.

Manufacturer's Description:
The Catalyst remains our tried and true workhorse of the ULA Pack line. If you head out on a National Scenic Trail, the chance of running into someone with a Catalyst on their back is pretty high. As such, the Catalyst is a great choice for multi-month treks, winter travels, or for folks transitioning down from monster packs into lighter loads. Bottom line? A tried and true veteran for lightweight and long distance hikers.

Total Volume: 4,600 cu in (75 liters)

"I used this pack this year 2009 on the PCT. This pack took everything I could put it through including throwing it around trees in the Glacier Peak Wilderness that were down. Best pack I have ever owned!"

"Did the last 1700 miles of an AT thru hike with one. It was perfect. Lightweight (replaced a Gregory in Damascus) roomy, and durable. It's still in great condition. I probably never had more than 30 pounds in it and wouldn't recommend that you go heavier than that."

"Purchased because I have to carry a lot of water on occasion. Works great with up to 35#, and it's huge. Great service from owner/sewer. Made in the USA! Replacement for an Exos 58."
