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.

The Best Hunting Pants for Men in 2025
  The best hunting pants are not just about the camo. A great pair of hunting pants matches the environment in which you choose to pursue wild game. Rain pants dont make sense in the desert, but are vital in the Pacific Northwest. Insulated pants might work for a late-season elk hunt, but would likely be too hot for the rut....
Mad Genius: Funky but Functional ‘Kansept Dako’ Review
  While design has always been important, in an age of virtually perfect machining and do-everything steels, design is the single most important part of knives, and all consumer products in general.   The Dako, an Eddy Martinez design produced by Kansept Knives, is superb, with very solid fundamentals. It marks his first collab with a company, though he does sell his...
Wraparound Sport Shades Cinch Tight: Ombraz ‘Refugio’ Sunglasses Review
  My paddleboard was deflating, and the waves were getting bigger. As I navigated the whitewater of the Roaring Fork River, my feet wobbled and bounced on the unstable surface. I turned a corner, my eyes growing wide as the next swell came into view.   I felt my board being pulled into it, turning sideways, and I knew I was going...
Flipping Awesome! Benchmade Lowden Review
  It is impossible to ignore the impact Benchmade has had on the knife world. Whether introducing new, market-changing functionality like the Axis lock, or the overall level of quality that many other brands have been chasing for years, the Butterfly brand remains world-renowned.   However, one thing the Oregon knife maker has not been known for is embracing the growing flipper-style...

Affordable, No-Nonsense Hiking Shoe: Merrell Moab 3 Review
  Looking for hiking shoes that dont feel like boots or cost as much? That was the exact gear gap I was trying to fill. I didnt need full ankle support or the stiffness of traditional hiking boots, but trail runners werent cutting it either. They lacked structure, didnt hold up to rough terrain, and many were too pricey for me....
Arizona Governor Calls For Investigation After Wildfires ‘Decimate’ Grand Canyon National Park
  It took one week for a naturally occurring wildfire at Grand Canyon National Park to grow from a low-level threat to a full-on disaster. On July 4, a lightning strike ignited a wildfire on the North Rim of Grand Canyon National Park.   A few days later, park officials said they were monitoring the 10-acre blaze, and would manage it as...
