Porter 85
$475.00
Description

  The Porter 85 is designed for explorers who want to do everything. With added capacity for clothing, dry suits, additional days’ worth of food, or supplementary equipment like boats, paddles, or climbing ropes, this pack is crucial for the multi-est multisporter. Ideal for four-season, extended trips into the backcountry where resupply points aren't available and/or bulkier cold weather gear is required.

  Hyperlite Mountain Gear designed the Porter for the expert ultralight backpacker or climber who moves fast, goes far and travels light. It’s ideal for shorter-duration adventures, where you’re sharing gear with your partner. Made from 100% waterproof Dyneema® Composite Fabrics (formerly Cuben Fiber), this backpack is highly durable and weatherproof. Use it with Hyperlite Stuff Sacks (sold separately) for a nearly perfect waterproof kit.

  Formerly known as the 5400 Porter Pack. Packaging may have either name but the product is identical.

Footprint sold separately.

HUK Pro Series Review: Badass Bibs & Jacket for Foul Weather Fishing (and More)
  Bad weather doesn’t stop the work. It doesn’t stop the fish from biting either. Whether you’re stringing lines in the field after a long winter or casting into icy Montana rivers before the runoff hits, the cold doesn’t care. Neither does the rain, the wind, or the occasional frozen mix that pelts your face sideways.   That’s where the HUK Pro...
Meet the Electric Minivan Designed to Spark Joy
  Upon first sight, my younger daughter hugged the yellow Volkswagen ID. Buzz. Arms draped across its cheerful face, she said, “Can we keep it?” A reasonable question for a car that looks like it time-traveled from Woodstock to Haight-Ashbury via Pixar Studios.   The ID. Buzz is Volkswagen’s reinterpretation of its microbus—a car so entrenched in American counterculture that you would...
The Benefits (and Drawbacks) of Adult Beginner-ness, With Mirna Valerio
  Everyone knows it’s important to try new things, but combating that internal voice, which begs us to stay within our comfort zone ain’t easy—even for a professional tryer of new things like Mirna Valerio. Known on the internet as The Mirnavator, Mirna knows what she’s talking about. She took up running in her late 30s, then road marathons, then trail...
How to See Manhattanhenge (and 9 Other Urban Solar Alignments) in 2025
  On four nights each year, sky-watchers flock to the streets of Midtown Manhattan to experience one of the nations best-known urban astronomical events: Manhattanhenge.   During this phenomenon—named in honor of England’s famous Stonehenge—the sunset aligns perfectly with the city’s east-west grid, sending a blaze of sunlight down the streets and casting the city in a dramatic glow. The first Manhattanhenge...
Worthy Watches for Every Deserving Dad
  Consider gifting Dad a watch for Father’s Day—a real banger he won’t just pretend to love. Choosing a timeless gift will nail the right sentiment, but picking the perfect timepiece out of a few (gazillion) options can present a quandary. That’s where Citizen comes in.   “A watch isn’t just a watch,” says pilot and proud father Jeff Shapiro, who relies...
Do Huberman’s Wind Down Glasses Actually Work? We Asked Experts.
  Elite athletes have a remarkable ability to focus on what they can control and let go of what they can’t. They are process obsessives, honing in on the manifold factors—like diet, exercise, and recovery—that can make the difference between being first and being a footnote. Nutrition, weight lifting, and mental performance have all taken turns revolutionizing training, yet aside from...
Bouncing Back From Heart Attacks, With Chef and Angler Ranga Perera
  In and around his home of Bozeman, Montana, Ranga Perera is highly sought after as a fly fishing pal and even more highly sought after as a personal chef. There’s nothing unusual about that combination, until you learn that his family came to the States in 1991 from Sri Lanka after a happy childhood was disrupted by a violent civil...
An Insulator for Folks on the Move: Patagonia Nano-Air Ultralight Review
  Since its original release in 2014, the Patagonia Nano-Air line has been the best breathable layer you can buy, at least in my book. I’m not a Patagonia fan boy, but after owning two of the original Nano-Air Jackets, the Nano-Air Light Pullover, and the Nano-Air pants (and testing out almost every other brand’s crack at breathable insulation layers), I...
Nebraska’s Natural Wonders
  Yes, that Nebraska. Listen, we’re not here to convince you that purple mountain majesty is out. We’re just saying that the fruited plain has more than meets the eye. Especially if you just rolled that eye. Before you go making too many assumptions, discover all the natural wonders this flat-out amazing midwest state has to offer.   Sandhill Crane Migration Maybe...
Katabatic Alsek 22 Review: Cold Sleepers Rejoice — This Sleeping Quilt Works for All
  I hit about mile 200 before I swallowed the bitter pill: I might not be cut out for this sleeping quilt thing. It was half a month into my thru-hike of the Pacific Crest Trail, and while the days crossing the sand-filled basins brutalized with heat, the nights along the high-rising desert ridges plunged to near freezing.   I also found...
Prevent Injury on Leg Day with This Dynamic Stretch Routine
  Whether you’re running, biking, or climbing, your workout should always begin with a basic bodyweight warm-up to prime your muscles and joints for peak performance. The same goes for preparing for leg day at the gym.   Dynamic stretching, in which you move your muscles and joints through their full range of motion, helps your body prepare for the work ahead....
‘Unforgiving Hours’ Captures Gritty History of Endurance Sports
  Is competing in endurance sports a terrible idea? Thats the (somewhat rhetorical) question posed in a new collection of stories examining the painful journeys of endurance athletes trying to achieve goals unimaginable to the casual observer.   The book offers many fascinating tales, like a 70-year-old competing in an ultramarathon, a sailing trip from Washington State to Alaska, or attempting six...
