Best Pack I’ve Ever Used
I primarily operate in the south east, which rains a lot, this pack has kept my gear bone dry. Love the simplicity and rides more comfortably than any of my larger packs.

So Happy
Delivery box felt like it was empty. Just putting it on, you know you’ll be flying over terrain. Inaugural hike was 20 miles long and much of that through snow, so happy to have a sweet new toy.

Amazing
Went from another pack to Hyperlite Junction. It's perfect for my C.T. thru hike in 2022. I'm 6'2 and got the tall, fits like a glove. I'm so happy I made the switch, I wish I had it on the A.T. Thanks Again Hyperlite!!

The BEST pack!

Good size! The front mesh pocket is my favorite. I do need an expert to teach me how to pack it-but Hyperlyte is definitely my favorite backpack!

Great bag. Fits me, 5’4 female, 130lbs tried it out on two overnight hikes and loved how it supports. Looking forward to my big thru hike in July. Material is lightweight and great, pockets are good size and easy to access item inside.

Fabulously lightweight but Not water repellant as advertised. Hyperlite makes a big deal about their gear being weatherproof. Taped seams and water near water proof construction. I hiked 8 hours in mist and light rain and the items at the top of the bag were perfectly dry and at the bottom of the bag were soaking wet including my down jacket. Definitely needed a rain fly over the pack. Feels like the advertising was misleading.
