Our Verdict
The Six Moon Designs Flight 30 Ultra Running Rucksack exemplifies minimalist, ultralight design, ideal for both day-long adventures and multi-day ultra-lightweight treks. Weighing just 948 grams, this pack focuses on providing a feature-rich, highly functional experience without unnecessary frills, catering to severe runners and hikers. However, it must be tailored to your specific body shape, which may require adjustment.
Its frameless configuration, complete with an adjustable torso length, is a rare feature among ultralight packs. It ensures a customisable and comfortable fit for various body types. The vest harness keeps the pack secure, eliminating bounce and sway—crucial for maintaining natural movement and reducing fatigue on long trails.
The Flight 30 Ultra excels in organisation, featuring a large bottom pocket, three pockets on each side of the vest, large stretch pockets on the front, and a deep side pocket. These features make it easy to access essentials without unloading your pack, a significant advantage for maintaining momentum on the trail. The removable hip belt adds stability and comfort, especially when carrying heavier loads up to 20 lbs.
Assembly is required, as the harness is not attached, but this is a one-time setup. The shoulder strap pockets on the vest harness are symmetrical, including a small mesh pocket, a small zipped pocket, and a large water bottle holder that can fit even the largest phone or a 1L water bottle.
Constructed from durable 100D Nylon Robic and EPX200, with reinforced key points to prevent holes, the Flight 30 Ultra is built to withstand the rigours of the trail. The minimal contact back panel, dual hydration ports, internal zippered stash pocket, and shock cord compression system enhance its versatility and user-friendly design. Additional features include a daisy chain, elastic lashing cord, and an ice axe loop for extra gear storage and accessibility.
