Nero Classic Backpack

$143.4 ~~$239~~ In stock

The Nero Classic is as as close as it gets to our original frameless backpack design which was tested on an Appalachian Trail thru-hike over 20 years ago. The Nero is compact and streamlined with only the most essential features for long distance hikers. Bomb-proof Ultra 100X fabric and waterproof taped seams can handle whatever nature throws at it. Gray, Green, Pink, and Red variations feature Ultra TenX fabric for an added pop of color.

Choose from multiple volumes to fit your hiking style. Three different interchangeable strap designs, an optional removable belt, a comfy sit pad, and a bunch of cool modular add-ons make the versatile Nero Classic your ticket to maximizing every day hike, section hike, or thru-hike.

Chloe Y. ★★★★★ Oct 22, 2026

The lack of a frame means I can feel every item poking my back, but for a day hike or fast-and-light overnighter this pack disappears on you. Even with a heavy load, the weight distribution is surprisingly manageable for a frameless design. It’s definitely a specialized tool, not an everyday hauler,

I’ve been using this pack for a few weeks now and the frameless design really lets me feel every ounce I’m carrying, which keeps my load honest. The streamlined shape is perfect for quick day hikes—no extra bulk to get in the way.

Fits so much more than it looks like it should, really impressive for an ultralight pack. The single compartment makes packing simple and keeps everything secure on the trail.
