The Equinox Katahdin Ultralite Backpack receives excellent reviews from AT hikers, and has been to the top of Mt Everest.
It offers innovative improvements for ultralite backpacking rare in other packs. The Katahdin's bottom cinch strap is aligned with the hip belt to provide "in-line" weight transfer to the hips. Three compression straps create a solid "tube-like" structure that replaces the need to use stays, minimizing the strain on the shoulders and helping to properly transfer weight to the hips.
The compression straps are attached to the pocket wings in such a way as to add greater carrying capacity for the side compartments. Top cinches together for easy access to main compartment. Two side pockets carry water bottles.
Constructed from 1.1oz silicone impregnated ripstop with 200 denier ripstop side panel. Hip belt and lumbar panel are constructed from 1/2" open cell foam with a Cool-Max. Back panel is open mesh.
