Syclon XP Waterproof Packs
Fully waterproof and highly ventilated, this 30L pack slashes weight and gets the air flowing, ideal for ultralight missions in unpredictable weather.
Every gram of the Syclon XP has been carefully considered, shaving weight wherever possible to create an ultralight pack for minimalist hikers. It’s also fully waterproof and tested to IPX4, which further reduces weight by eliminating the need for dry bags or a rain cover. The body-contouring, ventilated AEROFIT™ carry system allows plenty of airflow to your back and provides a seamless fit, keeping you comfortable and your load stable at fast paces and over long distances. Ready for the range of conditions you might encounter on the mountain from high heat to driving rain, the Syclon XP is built for alpine hut-hopping and thru-hiking long-distance trails.
What is the AEROFIT™ Carry System?
Comfortable from the first step to the final mile, this ultralight, fully ventilated back system is built with a body-contouring mesh that runs from the back panel through to the hipbelt, providing seamless comfort and superb weight distribution through your hips and back.
