Today, we’re excited to announce the arrival of our latest master of mileage, the Waypoint 35! Designed for the backpacker that’s been around the trail a few times, it’s a stripped-down, function-first, just-what-you-need pack with the perfect volume for today’s solo shelters or tarps, highly compressible quilts, and all the other modern and refined bits-o-kit we gearheads love. Whether the Waypoint 35 accompanies you on light and uncomplicated weekends in the mountains or full-on burly thru hikes, those who know how to maximize and maintain the performance of an ultralight setup will be stoked on the “less” we’ve built into this pack.

I can't wait to try this thing out
Nice! This was the first thing I googled when I woke up this morning and was a great way to start my Friday. I noticed those shoulder strap pockets right away, they definitely look super useful. Removing the second buckle on the Y-strap is also a great idea - I'm not sure I've ever needed to unclip it on my other HMG packs.
I bought my Southwest after dropping a lot of weight in other areas of my kit which allowed me to feel comfortable in a lighter pack. Now that I've also decreased my volume, this looks like an excellent option. Thanks for designing such great tools to streamline the outdoors experience - I can't wait to give this one a try!
Super stoked to try this out on the CDT next year!!!
