For a lightly loaded day pack, determining the exact back length is not absolutely crucial. With trekking or mountaineering backpacks, however, it is essential, as only a perfect fit will efficiently transfer the weight to the hips. With heavy loads or backpacks featuring an internal carrying system, the centre of the hip wings should ideally rest on the iliac crest and the rear pad on the sacrum.
How do you measure back length?
To determine the back length, use a tape measure to measure the distance between the base of the shoulders or the level of the 7th cervical vertebra (which you can feel protruding where the neck meets the spine) and the upper edge of the iliac crest.
Ultralight, comfortable backpacking pack with roll-top closure
innovative, customisable T-Rex carrying system
efficient packing volume management
ultra-light ripstop nylon with reinforced base
Product Description
With its ultra-lightweight construction and adjustable back system, the Lightning was developed for trekking tours where low weight and high carrying comfort are crucial.
The innovative T-Rex carrying system with reduced contact points ensures effective ventilation and freedom of movement. The back length can be precisely adjusted, while the efficient load transfer to the hip belt ensures a stable and comfortable fit even with a heavier pack weight.
Sophisticated pack volume management allows flexible adjustments. The zig-zag compression straps are easy to adjust and, together with the roll-top fastener, allow variable volume control. They also secure larger equipment such as a sleeping mat or flysheet. Generous mesh outer pockets, zipped pockets on the hip belt and modular attachment points support clear organization.
Made from ultra-light ripstop nylon with a reinforced polyester base, the Lightning combines minimal weight, durable performance and well thought-out design.

Non avevo mai visto una piattaforma di acquisti online rispondere così velocemente! Dopo aver effettuato l'ordine mi sono accorto di aver dimenticato di inserire il codice sconto, così ho provato a spiegarlo sulla piattaforma di chat. In meno di un minuto hanno risposto indicando come gestire e organizzare la cosa. Alla fine l'ordine è stato annullato -> il rimborso ha richiesto meno di 2 minuti, senza spiegazioni superflue durante tutto il processo. Poi ho rifatto l'ordine -> fatto! Fantastico~ Ordinato il 9, ricevuto stamattina. Veloce, bello, ottimo e economico! Ci sono tutti i colori! Top!
Risposta rapida, spedizione veloce, prezzo ragionevole, imballaggio integro e senza difetti, prodotto corretto 👍🏻🫶🏻
