Halftrack - OUTLET

Finally a pack that swallows a full weekend’s gear without bulging weirdly. The main compartment at 2600 cubes is just right, and the front opening makes digging out a mid-layer actually painless. Strap padding is decent, though nothing fancy, but for the price it’s a steal.

The 2600 cubic inch main compartment swallowed my sleeping bag, tent, and cook kit for a two-nighter without breaking a sweat. That zippered hood pocket came in clutch for stashing my headlamp and snacks on day two.

Spent three days on the trail and the main compartment swallowed everything I brought without bulging awkwardly. The zippered hood pocket was perfect for keeping my keys and headlamp within easy reach.
