Specs

Weight

11oz.

Existing modelVersatility is the name of the game with the Flash. Not just a stuff sack with straps, this simple lightweight pack doesn’t skimp on the fit and features needed in a daypack. Plus, it’s the ultimate solution for a “from camp” summit / day hike pack, offing more comfort, capacity, ease-of-use, and hydration management than a “top-lid waist pack” for similar weight.
