The pack has slightly conic shape, it's narrower at the base and wider on top for better load distribution and easier loading. Recommended max load around 8-12 kg; the max comfortable carry depends on you own comfort limit, what items you carry, the load distribution through the backpack etc.
Please reach out for any custom requests or other customization, for example metal stays, padded hipbelt etc. All requests have to be discussed before placing the order.
Recommended builds:
Ultralight hiking/backpacking with base weight around 5 kg and less: frameless 25-30 or 30-35 liters, 25 mm waistbelt, shoulder strap pockets, simple top strap. The lightest.
Ultralight backpacking with higher base weight: larger size with padded backpanel, wider waistbelt. Better comfort with heavier loadout at a cost of higher weight.
Winter adventures with skis, snowshoes, snow shovel etc.: padded hipbelt, metal stays for better weight distribution and load transfer to the hips, webbing side compression, side rolltop closure, ice axe loops, possible other attachment points. Not a lightweight backpack, but can comfortably carry 15kg and offers multiple attachment points.
Backpacking/hiking with occasional general minimalist travelling: padded backpanel, front zippered pocket.
This backpack is meant for ultralight hiking/backpacking or as a really minimalist travel pack. It’s not ideal as an EDC or travel backpack where you need more structure and organization.
