Hyperlite Mountain Gear Northrim

Our most durable model, this pack is built to withstand terrain notorious for shredding gear, like the Grand Canyon. For less demanding use, it could be the last pack you ever buy.

Why Choose the Northrim?

Canyon Inspired
Built for the demands of the remote parts of the Grand Canyon

Intentionally Burly
We built this pack using our 375-Denier DCHW fabric in the external pockets and high abrasion areas on the bottom

Waterproof Materials
Pair with our Stuff Sacks for a buttoned up, nearly waterproof kit
