The Junction 55 backpack from Hyperlite Mountain Gear is a premier pack designed to be ideal for ultra lightweight backpacking and thru-hiking trips of up to 5-7 days.  This pack is best suited for on-trail and light off-trail adventures, and is also great when compressed down for day hikes. The main bag fabric is an ultra lightweight Dyneema® composite that is virtually waterproof in most conditions with it's roll-top closure style design and seam-taped seams.  The bottom section of the pack uses a more durable lightweight Dyneema® composite fabric.  5 external pockets provide quick access to all types of gear.  The rear external mesh pocket is great for drying out wet clothing or gear as you go.

Jason ★★★★★

Took this on a four-day trip through the Winds and the weight barely registered on my shoulders. The 55 liters swallowed my bear can and five days of food without the lid floating. Can't believe I waited this long to go ultralight.

Nicholas ★★★★★

The Dyneema fabric sheds rain like nothing I've owned, and after six days of switchbacks my shoulders still felt fresh thanks to how the frame transfers weight to my hips. It's pricey, but for a 5-7 day load this thing disappears on your back.

David C. ★★★★★

Carried this for a full week on the Appalachian Trail and the frame transferred weight so well I forgot it was loaded. The fabric shows zero wear after brushing through rhododendron tunnels.
