Summit 30

I have been using the Summit (white) and the Stuff Pocket for about 6 months now. Great all around pack, that adapts well to most all outdoor single day adventures. So simple, yet really thought out. I’ve climbed, kayaked, bike-packed, and used it for one bag travel. No complaints.

If there is a V2 version in the future, please build in two internal straps or method to secure a small sit pad or sleeping pad for a back panel. Adding reflective material to the Stuff Pocket Webbing strip would also be much appreciated. Great pack none the less.

I have had this bag for a few years. Very light use, mostly like a day pack around town. The bottom buckle snapped three weeks ago. The pack is like new except for the plastic buckle that snapped. No response to multiple emails and it’s impossible to leave a message or get a call back. I ought multiple packs and products. Very disappointed.

The Summit pack is a perfect addition to my Junction 3400 ultralight system, which I use for both backpacking and travel. The Summit with its accessory pocket rolls up into a compact package weighing just over a pound, yet comfortably carries everything I need for a day’s fly fishing expedition, or my travel necessities, lunch, and full size laptop computer in padded case with power supply and mouse. I love how the woven DCHW material is softer and quieter than the DCH150 of my backpack, and its ruggedness needs no further mention. I was happy to find one that was still made in USA; I would be even happier if HMG made this an option in the future; I would pay extra for it. Not that I have anything against Mexico, I just believe in supporting American workers and their products.

The summit packs is definitely one of my favourite packs from Hyperlite. I predominantly use this pack for trail runs where I need to bring overnight gear for 1-2 nights. The pack has zero padding or frame but a sleeping pad along the back panel adds structure and padding. I can fit my quilt, bivy or mid, tuna can stove with some food, rain gear, down jacket and my mirrorless with an ultrawide inside the pack and the tripod straps externally with the daisy chains. It doesn’t get any lighter than this! The sternum and waist straps prevent the pack bouncing around too much and it sits higher on your back like a running vest. Love it
