Hyperlite Mountain Gear Southwest 55 Backpack
Regular price
$799.00
This pack is designed for on-trail, off-trail, and all-season environments, with solid-fabric exterior pockets to eliminate snag risk, protect stowed gear, and provide privacy when resupplying in towns.
The Southwest, like the Windrider and Junction, represents our vision of a versatile, adaptable, and capable tool for nearly any adventure.
Since its introduction over fifteen years ago, countless backpackers have seen and done it all with theirs.
The Southwest’s main pack body is built with a new, fully woven Dyneema® 200-denier fabric that offers more durability than ever before with the same signature lightweight and 100% waterproof qualities that have made Dyneema our primary material choice from the beginning.
With solid-fabric exterior pockets that offer added protection for whatever’s inside in abrasive, rocky terrain, the Southwest is a comfortable pack that delivers premium performance wherever you’re headed.
