Backpacker's Editor's Choice "Green Award"

GoLite has been honored with Backpacker Magazine's 2010 Editors’ Choice Award, for its extensive use of Tier 1 recycled fabrics. Read all about it in the Press Release section of "The Meaning of Lite".

Velocity™

Velocity™ is one of the primary body fabrics in GoLite's packs. It achieves an optimum balance of high tear strength, abrasion resistance, waterproofness, ultra-violet resistance, and is lightweight. 100% nylon, 210 denier weave, 6.2 oz/yd², 210 g/m²

comPACKtor™

The comPACKtor™ system makes your pack far more versatile by enabling you to reduce your pack's volume through the use of two fixed compression anchor clips and adjustable side compression straps. With the comPACKtor™ system engaged, your pack is instantly transformed from a lightweight multi-day carrying system into a day-tripper or peak-bagger with smaller profile and volume.

Recycled Content

Our newly developed Tier 1 recycled polyester and nylon materials test to the same high standards as their conventional, non-recycled alternatives. We use them whenever possible because of the massive reductions in energy use and resource consumption required to produce them vs. the virgin, petroleum-based alternatives. More information can be found under ‘Performance Technology’ within ‘The Meaning of Lite’ section of this website.

	by Suzanne on 4/21/2012	Best pack After much research, this is the one! Versatile, Light & Comfortable.
	by Trish on 4/20/2012	Love this pack!! I have been using this pack for many years of adventure racing and never have been disappointed. From 1 day to 4 day races, this is my go to pack. It fits all my gear, hip pockets are great for food, Gu, anything I need to get to quickly. It is ridiculously durable!! I have taken this pack through some nasty bushwhacks and it still is holding up. The only thing is the zippers got a little crusty and hard to zip but this pack also also been submerged in water many times!! Great pack and great price!!
	by Tracy on 3/21/2012	Great pack! I originally ordered this pack for an 10 hour adventure race I was about run last weekend. It was recommended to me from a team mate so I decided to go ahead and order it, seeing as it was such a great price. I love the color combination of the coriander and thyme and I loved how light weight it was. I was also liking all the pockets and storage and the ability to expand the pack. However, it was to big. I measured exactly the way they instructed me to, and based on their instructions I ordered the large when I should have ordered the medium. I could not use it for this race but I am looking forward to using it on my next one.
