Our Flight Series backpacks are rugged, lightweight, and comfortable even with heavier backpacking loads of 35 to 50 lbs.  Using UltraGrid™ 200d fabrics, these lightweight backpacks offer excellent comfort for backpacking, day hikes, ski mountaineering, thru-hiking, summit attempts, or large water hauls in dry areas.

The Flight 3 features a roll top closure, a large Ultra™ Stretch mesh face pocket, and two patent pending side water bottle pockets that securely hold a smart water bottle or nalgene.

New features include:

- Upgraded suspension system allowing for custom fit, more ventilation and comfort at heavier load weights. 

- Lightweight UltraGrid™ 200d or UltraPE 200 main body fabric.

- Upgraded hip belt designed to minimize slip.

Load Rating - 35 to 50+ lbs

Load rating changes based on torso height and frame height. 

Torso Height is the distance from C7 (the prominent vertebrae at the base of your neck) down the spine to an imaginary line drawn connecting the points of the hips (iliac crests).  Common measurements for a 6' tall male would be 17 to 19", while a 5'5" female may be 15 to 16", though these measurements vary widely based on body composition.

Ordering

• Note - 22" and 25" packbags are not interchangeable.  A 22" packbag accepts only a 22" frame, and a 25" accepts only a 25".
• Note -  Flight packbags and suspension components are NOT interchangeable with our Revolution Frame backpacks.
• To Order - Select the options you want and add the pack to the cart to generate a live inventory feed that will tell you if the pack is in stock and what the expected lead time is if it is not in stock.  For rush orders or "need-by" dates call us at 970-208-8108.
• Flight Series Packs vs. Revolution Frame Packs - judge by your frequent use.  If you often carry 35+ plus pounds or ever need to carry 50+, then a Revolution Frame pack is the best choice.  If you most often carry 20, sometimes carry 35, and may carry up to 50 occasionally then the Flight will serve you well.
