Ultralight Comfort. Full-Feature Design. Built to Go the Distance.

The Shadowlight™ Backpack redefines what’s possible in the ultralight category. Weighing just 31.5 oz (size M)—including a full suspension frame and wide padded hip belt—it delivers exceptional comfort, durability, and load carry performance at a sub-2 lb weight. With 60L of total capacity (49L main + 15L external), it’s the ideal pack for everything from backpacking weekends to thru-hikes on rugged, high-mileage trails.

Built around our new CARBONFLEX™ Suspension, the Shadowlight comfortably carries 40 lbs, making it a rare ultralight pack that won’t punish you when fully loaded. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned ultralight backpacker, the Shadowlight’s approachable design and dialed-in features make it intuitive, reliable, and trail-proven.

Key Features:

• CARBONFLEX™ Suspension System
  Includes two anatomically curved carbon fiber frame stays, a redesigned foam back panel with cutouts, and a refined hip belt for maximized contact and pressure distribution. Carries heavy loads with surprising ease—especially on rough trails.
  
  

• Ultralight Build with Full Functionality
  At under 2 lbs, you still get 4 side pockets, dual zippered hip belt pockets, oversized UltraStretch™ mesh rear pockets, a full-length center zipper, and lash loops—all without sacrificing weight or comfort.
  
  

• Expandable Storage
  Main compartment holds 49L rolled, with an additional 15L+ of external pocket volume for wet gear, layers, and quick-grab items. Side pockets now offer more volume, while UltraStretch™ upgrades improve durability and retention.
  
  

• Durable, High-Tech Materials
  Constructed from Spectra/Robic ripstop fabric—a proprietary blend that balances high tenacity nylon and UHMWPE fibers—for abrasion resistance without the weight penalty.
