Trail-Tested Thoughts: HYPERLITE UNBOUND 40 Backpack


We head to the mountains to test out our new lightweight backpack the Hyperlite Mountain Gear Unbound 40! Kelli had been using the Osprey Aura 50 which is a great pack but definitely on the heavy side. Switching to this pack cuts out several pounds off of her base weight. We go over our first impressions of the pack and how it has performed over the last 6 days out on the trail. It has some great features like taped seams making it waterproof, large side pockets and stretchy outer mesh on the back.
