Description
Set the pace on your next adventure with a Sweetwater UL pack. Streamlined design prioritizes a perfect fit, featuring running-vest-style straps that securely hug your chest, back, and shoulders. Smart, effective construction secures your load without unnecessary bulk, using durable, recycled nylon derived from discarded fishing nets. The Sweetwater UL 28L is the ideal ultralight daypack. No matter where the journey takes you, recycled ultralight nylon, minimalist design, and an adjustable suspension will secure your load without adding to it. Instead of choosing between ultralight, comfortable, and durable - choose the Sweetwater UL.
