For gram-obsessed hikers who hanker after a comfortable pack, the Facet 55 isn't quite as light as a garage-made cuben fiber model, but it's definitely on the light side for a pack with comfortable suspension. 55L capacity suits thru-hikers going long stretches between resupply points or crossing high-elevation passes, carrying cold-weather gear. Its max recommended load of 15.9kg, means you'll have to put lightweight gear inside it, but the thing to know is it weighs just over 1kg!
- Made of high-density nylon, reinforced in high-wear areas
- Suspension uses a tensioned 7001 aluminum perimeter frame with an anti-barrelling support for comfortable carrying
- Low-profile Free Float trampoline style back panel adds ventilation without sacrificing load management or robbing volume to stash stuff inside
- Polygiene® Stays Fresh antimicrobial treatment on backpanel, hipbelt and harness
- All body contact surfaces use moisture wicking fabrics to keep you cool and dry
- 3D Comfort Cradle system allows the hipbelt to pivot as you walk, improving balance on uneven terrain
