Description
The Lightning 60 is a sophisticated lightweight backpack for any long-distance hike or longer, multi-day trekking adventures where minimal weight, functionality, and a little more space are required.
The practical roll-top closure not only allows quick access but also extends the main compartment. Items such as water bottles, trekking poles, or tent poles can be stored in the side pockets made of elastic fabric. Additional zippered pockets on the hip belt and in the upper part of the backpack offer even more quickly accessible storage space.
Side zigzag compression straps and a strap running over the backpack with quick-release hooks securely hold equipment like mats or an outer tent in place. Those who use the Lightning for mountaineering can attach ice axes to the designated loops and the central daisy chain.
The full-fledged T-Rex carrying system with minimal contact points and an aluminum bar is height-adjustable and can be easily adapted to your back length. It can also handle heavier loads. A padded hip belt provides additional carrying comfort. The extremely light and robust material is water-repellent and PFC-free. The latest version finally has a large front pocket, larger hip belt pockets, and a mesh shoulder strap pocket.
The size is now unisex; the shorter back length is very suitable for women.
