Our Staff Pick is the the Hyperlite Mountain Gear 3400 Southwest Backpack. This easily recognizable white and black Backpack is the pack most often used by our staff. It's light, comfortable, rugged and has enough room for all our gear. In summary, this pack has everything you need and nothing you don’t. We’ve used it on some of of the toughest terrain on the planet from Alaska, to technical canyons in the Southwest to Patagonia. In summary, it’s a supremely functional design and a bomber pack that you can wear for weeks on end.

GREAT FOR: Hikers, especially those in wetter climates, who want a light, durable, nearly-waterproof pack that carries weight well, eschewing unnecessary features and add-ons. Those that do a lot of off-trail bushwhacking and/or scrambling and otherwise abuse their packs.
