Hyperlite Mountain Gear HMG Porter

New model for this year (Do not check this option if this model was listed as new in last year’s Gear Guide)The HMG Porter is constructed out of HMG’s proprietary Cuben Fiber/Nylon material that provides the ultimate in durability, protection, and strength. This frameless pack boasts a 3400 cu/in capacity.

With a multitude of accessories and attachment points, the Porter gives packrafters, hikers, and mountaineers a variety of options allowing for trip-specific customization. The HMG Porter’s streamlined design features a wrap-around hip belt that keeps the pack snug and allows the pack load to rest on hips rather than shoulders; an internal hydration sleeve for a water bladder or for other internal storage; compression straps to help stabilize the load; and external attachment points that allow hikers to lash on additional gear and to accept a variety of pack accessories.

Other features include a roll-top closure system, side and top compression, an adjustable sternum strap, a hydration hose port, and a double-reinforced bottom. As with all HMG packs, the Porter does not require a pack cover for rain protection.
