Description

Hyperlite Mountain Gear's original backpacking pack

The Windrider 55 is an adaptable, versatile, capable tool for nearly any adventure. Three external mesh pockets provide ample room for gear without having to dig in your pack and allow gear to dry fast. Made with fully woven Dyneema® 200-denier fabric that offers more durability with the same signature lightweight and 100% waterproof qualities as other Dyneema® fabrics. The Windrider is a comfortable pack that delivers premium performance for wherever you're headed. 

Features:

  • Internal frame with two removable aluminum stays
  • Padded non-removable hipbelt with pockets
  • Made with exclusive Dyneema® Woven Composite 3.9: this fabric provides exceptional abrasion resistance, feels better to the touch, and reduces crinkling in cold conditions
  • Roll-top closure system with vertical compression straps that allows you to adjust the pack's volume, keeping the load compact, stable, and protected from the weather
  • Top Y-strap provides compression and top-of-pack storage for gear
  • Integrated 1/4" foam back panel adds cushioning and support for a more comfortable carry
  • Redesigned outside pockets with more depth and lower back edges for easier access to water bottles and improved gear security 
  • Zippered hip belt pockets offer easy access to essentials
  • Two removable contoured aluminum stays offer support and help distribute the load
  • Seam taped on all vertical side seams and behind sewn-on pack features enhances water resistance, keeping your gear dry
  • Sternum strap allows for easy adjustments along shoulder strap daisy chains
  • Shoulder straps with frequent bartacks for increased sternum strap adjustment options allow for a customized fit
  • Shoulder straps feature an adjusted shape for a more natural curve around your neck, providing enhanced comfort
  • Removable side compression straps for versatile gear attachment options
  • Streamlined hydration system featuring a simple bladder hang loop and repositioned hydroport
  • Sewn-through back panel construction creates a curved shape that locks the interior panel in place, providing a more comfortable and durable fit
