Tough 330D Nylon construction is built to withstand any adventure while the MINIMOLL™ low-profile MOLLE attachment system is fully adaptable. A zippered main compartment keeps items organized with internal slip and mesh pockets. External zippered stretch pocket, cord gear loop, and bottom webbing loops max out the carrying capacity.

The Skyweight™ Access Pouch ($20) further extends the loadout options with its polyester stretch-woven construction ideal for sunglasses, EDC essentials, and more. The single column MINIMOLL™ low-profile MOLLE attachment system makes it perfect to attach to a shoulder strap for quick and easy access while on the go.

The ergonomic design molds to the human shape for all-day comfort and the quick-release, glove-friendly Duraflex® buckle with pull-forward adjustment makes it easy to adjust, put on, or take off.

Lightweight enthusiasts have received a new option with the 10L Skyweight™ Sling Pack ($90). It’s great for adventures and everyday use with a dual top/side access design and ambidextrous removable shoulder strap.  A front stretch zippered pocket along with a dual entry stretch water bottle pocket make it easy to load and access critical items quickly.  A hydration compatible rear zippered compartment and internal mesh pockets keep your gear organized and secure.  A modular pass-through behind the back panel converts the sling pack into a lumbar pack when used with the Skyweight™ Hip Belt.
