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 Hal on 5/4/2012	Just what I needed I lead Outdoor trips for college freshmen in the Adirondacks and this pack is a perfect lightweight backpack with enough volume for group/institutional trips requiring a lot of bulky group gear. It is not a suitcase though, and be weary about traveling with it as it is a little less durable than comparable backpacks with more weight. Mine has a little wear and tear after aeroplane luggage services handled it.
	by Scott Edwards on 4/30/2012	Great Pack This is a pack that you dont say its great for the money, you just say that its great. Will never fail. I challenge anyone to find a better pack without spending a fortune.
	by christian on 4/28/2012	great pack! I use the pack most often on backcountry trips in the Smokies. It has never let me down. Great fit and excellent size to weight ratio. Highly recommended.
	by Kelly on 4/28/2012	Lightweight, Full featured Boyfriend turned me on to this pack, Its the first pack I've owned so I don't have much to compare it to, but its comfortable and had more than enough room for a three day trip.I would recommend it.
