Windrider 55 by Hyperlite Mountain Gear

Ships in 1-2 Days | Based in Biddeford, ME | Est. 2010

Hyperlite Mountain Gear’s original backpacking pack

*Formerly known as the “3400 Windrider”

The Windrider 55 has made a name for itself as the ideal Appalachian Trail thru hiking pack with its massive mesh pockets that help to dry wet gear on the move, and its adaptable carrying capacity as supplies accumulate and dwindle along the route. Ideal for weekend, section, or thru hikes where resupply points are less frequent and/or for equipment flexibility. When the extra volume is not in use, the 55’s top can roll down enough to make the overall size of the pack similar to the 40, but that additional space can come in pretty handy when you need it.

Features:

• Internal Frame + Padded Hip Belt.
• Three external mesh pockets – easy to see what’s in your pockets and allows gear to dry faster
• Roll-Top closure system with side compression straps for vertical compression
• Top Y-strap compression
• Side compression straps for horizontal compression
• Zippered hip belt pockets
• Adjustable sternum strap  with self-tensioning elastic and whistle
• Internal 8″ x 14″ mesh sleeve for hydration bladder
• Integrated 1/4″ foam back panel pad
• Two removable, contoured aluminum stays
• Four exterior triglide buckles for optional pack accessory straps
• Grab Loop & Ice Axe Loop
