EDITORS PICK
Coined the Sweet Pea after the long running festival held in the place of its birth: Bozeman, this day pack was the first to feature Dana Gleason’s game changing 3Zip access. The 3Zip design opens wide for easy access to all your gear – even the awkward stuff. The Futura Ruck frame is ideal for loads less than 30 pounds, but one can easily push this up to 40 pounds with the addition of the Live Wing Waistbelt pads (sold separately). The belt system can be tucked into the sides of the pack for traveling or to stay clear of your harness. If your heading out for a quick trip to a mountain lake, the low profile and compact shape of the Sweet Pea is one hell of a companion.
the good
- A fantastic 3-way zip pack from MR
