I love this backpack. All the weight is on my hips and it barely touches my shoulders. I can hike for miles without having to remove my pack.

**This backpack has been replaced by our newer Arc Zip Ultra. It has a similar design but is constructed with a more durable Ultra material.

Quickly pack up camp in the morning or easily access your snacks mid-hike with the zippered front loading panel on the ultralight Arc Zip backpack.

Comfortably transfer your pack’s weight to your hips with our patented ‘Arc Frame’ system.  The frame also creates a gap between your back and the pack allowing for air flow that helps keeps you cool.

Featuring adjustable shoulder straps, an interchangeable belt, and a variety of optional modular add-ons, the Arc Zip will allow you to tackle those long days on the trail with a durable ultralight backpack designed to fit you.

Used by Deux Pas Vers l’Autre on their two year thru-hike across Europe.

Jason ★★★★★

The disc suspension system really does keep the pack off my shoulders—I did a full day hike and my back felt great the whole time. The 57-liter size is perfect for multi-day trips without being too bulky.

Madison ★★★★★

The hip belt adjustment on this pack is so intuitive I dialed it in without even looking. Carried a full load for 8 miles and my shoulders felt fresh the whole time.

Ella Z. ★★★★★

Took it up a steep three-day hike and my shoulders didn't ache once, just felt the weight settling on my hips. The load transfer system really works—I kept forgetting I was wearing it.
