DESCRIPTION
Hyperlite Mountain Gear Southwest 70L - is a purpose-built, ultralight pack made for demanding trips into rough, remote terrain—where your gear needs maximum protection and your backpack has to keep up. Evolved from the trusted Windrider and Junction lines, it delivers minimalist efficiency with rugged upgrades, including fully solid external pockets for extra durability.
Crafted from Dyneema® Woven Composite 3.9, a fully woven 200-denier fabric, the Southwest 70L offers exceptional abrasion resistance while remaining impressively lightweight and completely waterproof. From dense brush and rocky scrambles to harsh alpine environments, this fabric is built for harsh treatment.
The three Dyneema® Hardline external pockets protect essential gear from snags, punctures, and abrasion. Taller side pocket profiles and optimized openings make it easier to grab bottles or stash gear you need on the go. Redesigned shoulder straps and a sewn-through back panel improve long-haul comfort, weight distribution, and structural stability.
Inside, the pack offers 70 liters of internal capacity with a roll-top closure system that allows flexible volume control and weather protection. A streamlined hydration sleeve and oversized hip belt pockets simplify organization. Two contoured, removable aluminum stays and a high-support dual-density foam back panel ensure you can carry up to 27 kg comfortably and efficiently.
Starting at just 1008 grams (size M), the Southwest 70L is ideal for extended backcountry travel, thru-hikes, or winter expeditions — where reliability, volume, and low base weight all matter.
