Introducing the redesigned Unbound 40 + 55.

Built for thru hikes and long days on trail, these packs have been updated with Dyneema® Woven Composite 3.9 for a lighter, stronger, more comfortable carry - now available in a new color, too!

What’s new:
• Two contoured, removable stays for added support
• Refined hip belt and reshaped shoulder straps for a more comfortable carry
• Internal seam taping and low-profile daisy chains for a clean, functional build
• Fully removable compression system for securing trekking poles or oversized bottles
• Lighter than the originals at 27.3 oz and 28.9 oz (size med)

And the trail-proven favorites remain, including the dual-entry front pocket, bottom pocket, V-Pull hip belt, and side bottle pockets.

Our good bud and ever-reliable contributor and gear tester, Scott Nechemias, knows that while innovative and thoughtfully built gear is super cool, it’s only one part of what lures the uninitiated traditional backpacker over to the modern, lighter side of backcountry travel. A successful proof of concept is what really closes the deal.

In a new post on our community blog, The Trailhead, Scott shares how a four-day trip through Arizona’s Superstition Wilderness gave him the opportunity to show an old friend how far modern day equipment has come- and how he used four simple tips to set him up for a positive experience.
