With its ultra-lightweight construction and adjustable back system, the Lightning was developed for trekking tours where low weight and high carrying comfort are crucial. The innovative T-Rex carrying system with reduced contact points ensures effective ventilation and freedom of movement. The back length can be precisely adjusted, while the efficient load transfer to the hip belt ensures a stable and comfortable fit even with a heavier pack weight. Sophisticated pack volume management allows flexible adjustments. The zig-zag compression straps are easy to adjust and, together with the roll-top fastener, allow variable volume control. They also secure larger equipment such as a sleeping mat or flysheet. Generous mesh outer pockets, zipped pockets on the hip belt and modular attachment points support clear organisation. Made from ultra-light ripstop nylon with a reinforced polyester base, the Lightning combines minimal weight, durable performance and well thought-out design.
