Your torso length, not your height, determines your pack size. We recommend the following to determine yours:

Tilt your head slightly forward to locate the bony bump at the base of your neck. (This is your 7th cervical (or C7) vertebra).
Using a flexible tape measure, have someone measure starting at that spot and running down along the curve of your spine.
Place your hands on your hips so you can feel your iliac crest, which serves as the “shelf” of your pelvic girdle. (It’s the first hard thing you feel when you run your fingers down from the sides of your ribcage.) Position your hands so your thumbs are reaching behind you.
Have your friend finish measuring at the point where the tape crosses an imaginary line drawn between your thumbs. This distance is your torso length.
- Small (15.0” - 17.0” torso)
- Medium (17.0” - 19.0” torso)
- Large (19.0” - 21.0” torso)
- Tall (21.0”+ torso)
If your measurement falls right in between sizes (for example, if you have a 17.0” torso, so you are right on the line between a Small and a Medium), we suggest you choose the larger torso size.

WATCH THE VIDEO

The Junction, like the Windrider and Southwest, represents our vision of a versatile, adaptable, and capable tool for nearly any adventure. Since its introduction over seven years ago, countless backpackers have seen and done it all with theirs. The Junction’s main pack body is built with a new, fully woven Dyneema^® 200-denier fabric that offers more durability than ever before with the same signature lightweight and 100% waterproof qualities that have made Dyneema our primary material choice from the beginning. With two solid-fabric side exterior pockets that offer added protection for whatever’s inside and a center mesh pocket for visibility and drying wet gear, the Junction is a comfortable pack that delivers premium performance wherever you’re headed.

Key Features:

The new Dyneema^® Woven Composite 3.9 combines the light weight of Dyneema^® Composite Hybrid 3.8 with durability and abrasion resistance that surpasses even the heavier Dyneema^® Composite Hybrid 5.9.
Redesigned shoulder straps and a sewn-through back panel provide a more comfortable and secure fit, with better weight distribution and less wear over time.
Redesigned outside pockets with more depth, lower back edges for easier access to water bottles, and improved security for gear (like the ice axe) make packing and accessing items more convenient.

Top Closure

Roll-top closure system with vertical compression straps allows you to adjust the pack's volume, keeping the load compact, stable and protected from weather.

Compression

Top Y-Strap provides compression and top of pack storage for gear.

Back Panel

An integrated 1/4” foam back panel pad adds cushioning and support for a more comfortable carry.

Hip Belt

Dual density foam hip belt, featuring closed cell foam and spacer mesh, provides comfort and support for long hauls.

Hip Belt

Hardline with Dyneema® zippered pockets on the hip belt offer easy access to essentials, secured with a reliable #5 YKK zipper.

Stays

Two removable, contoured aluminum stays offer support and help distribute the load. Stays can be removed for additional weight savings.

Weather Protection

Seam tape on all vertical side seams and behind sewn-on pack features enhances water resistance, keeping your gear dry.

Sternum Straps

3/4" Sternum Strap allows for easy adjustments along shoulder strap daisy chains.

Shoulder Straps

Redesigned shoulder straps featuring an adjusted shape for a more natural curve around your neck, providing enhanced comfort. More frequent bartacks provide increased sternum strap adjustment options, allowing for a perfectly customized fit.

Dyneema Fabric

Crafted with our exclusive Dyneema® Woven Composite 3.9, this fabric offers significantly higher durability at a lighter weight than DCH materials. Its unique fully woven Dyneema face provides exceptional abrasion resistance, feels better to the touch, and reduces crinkling in cold conditions for a superior user experience.

External Carry

Customize your carry with removable side compression straps that easily adjust or detach, offering versatile gear attachment options. Opposing buckles allow you to secure items centrally, while daisy chains on the outer pocket accommodate various straps for added external storage flexibility.

Hydration System

Stay hydrated on the go with a streamlined hydration system featuring a simple bladder hang loop and a repositioned hydroport.

Ergonomic Fit

Sewn-through back panel construction creates a curved shape that locks the interior panel in place procviding a more comfortable and durable fit.

Pack Accessory Options

An optional, removable inside pocket is available as an accessory, enabling you to add extra internal storage whenever you need it.

Exactly what we were looking for. Been eyeing these bags for a while now and finally pulled the trigger. Looking forward to taking this bag to Yosemite and northern california in a couple weeks.

Love the Hyperlite packs!
These days there are a lot of cottage-brand backpacks available and most of them are good. But I love the Hyperlite Junction for it's simplicity and design. It carries great, I love the sewn on shoulder straps and as long as you aren't packing a heavy load it is ultra comfortable.

Minimalist, rugged perfection
I own SO MANY backpacks including many HMG packs in this series and i find them to be my favorites if they fit you they are basically perfect. Well built, carry weight well, everything is exactly where it should be HMG have really perfected this design and it shows. Basically waterproof and they hold up extremely well I’m stilll using my original Southwest purchased more than 10 years ago or so most of all and it’s still going extemely strong. This one is a great all-around design and great for beach/wet environs anywhere you may have gear to dry out as you hike (or climb). I’m 6’1 with a 17-18 torso and a size M is perfect
