Hyperlite Mountain Gear
Southwest 70
$425.00
Description

  Hyperlite Mountain Gear channeled Edward Abbey when they designed the Southwest 70. Made for desert rats, this burly beast works perfectly for the longest, most inhospitable, arid trails or bushwhacking adventures. Though similar to Hyperlite's Windrider, they replaced mesh outer pockets that snag on brush with solid Dyneema® Hardline exterior pockets.

  Use this big-volume expedition pack for multi-adventure travels to the most remote regions of the world where resupplies are infrequent. Other excellent uses for this pack include extended winter hikes or family trips where the kiddos aren’t yet carrying their own gear. Made from 100% waterproof Dyneema® Composite Fabrics (formerly Cuben Fiber) and with additional elastic frame sheet support for extra load carrying capacity, this ultralight backpack is highly durable and weatherproof. Organize and further protect your clothes, gear and sleeping bag from bad weather using Hyperlite Stuff Sacks.

  Formerly known as the 4400 Southwest Pack. Packaging may have either name but the product is identical.

Footprint sold separately.

After a number of internal studies, Hyperlite has decided to remove the metal grommets from the weep holes of their packs. This product may ship with or without the grommet as they are phased out from Hyperlite's inventory.
The grommets were not an essential feature to the weep holes of the pack. Hyperlite has determined there is no physical function of these grommets and they have been merely for aesthetic purposes. Their design and production team has developed a consistent method of precision drilling the holes in the fabric. The heat generated from the friction from this process will seal the edges of the weep holes and eliminate the chance of the fabric fraying. This will now make the holes just as strong as when constructed with grommets.

Marathon Mode: Lighter, Brighter Suunto Run Watch Adds Functions for Runners
  Runners who find sports watches to be overwhelming or cluttered now have a pared-down option. By taking a run-first approach, the Suunto Run ($250) eliminates some data bells and whistles to concentrate on training, racing, and recovery. This streamlined approach also reduces the watchs heft and price.      Runners will appreciate the sleek design and weight of 36 g; (photo/Suunto)...
Dead-On Accurate, Drop-Dead Gorgeous: Nodus Duality II Dive Watch Review
  The Nodus Duality II is a gorgeous watch, full stop. If you didnt know much about watches and saw it sitting next to big-name brands in a jewelry case, youd have a hard time understanding why it costs thousands of dollars less than many leading Swiss brands. Not only does it look good, but it has also a unique, functional...
Gorgeous Sound & Damn Near Everything-Proof: Turtlebox Ranger Review
  The Turtlebox Ranger makes no sense to me. As a lifelong musician, I always thought it was self-evident that high-quality audio means sensitive equipment. Improvements to durability must inevitably come at the cost of aural clarity — or so I believed.   My experience with the Ranger blows those assumptions out of the water. This speaker shakes off as quickly as...

Garmin Tactix 8: The Do-It-All Smartwatch for Hunters Who Need More Than Just GPS
  I can still feel the joy. When I was no more than 8 years old, my parents got me a new watch, and man, was it a fancy one. It was the first I had ever had that lit up the tiny black-and-white digital screen so I could read the time in the dark! You heard it here, folks. It...
‘Star Wars’-Inspired Airbike Prototype Channels Childhood Dreams With 124mph Jet System
  Its no coincidence that the first video ad for the Volonaut Airbike was published just before May 4, a.k.a. Star Wars Day. The videos aesthetic will be immediately familiar to anyone with even a passing familiarity with the science-fiction franchise. Since the first film debuted in 1977, hover bikes speeding across the Tatooine desert have captivated the imaginations of fans...
Rugged Watch With Detroit Soul: Shinola Duck Watch Review
  It was 2:30 a.m., still a couple of hours until my alarm would wake me from my slumber to chase turkeys in the Colorado spring hunt. Annoyed, I sat up and started whacking the ceiling to clear the snow and keep a collapse at bay. But I glanced again at the watch, impressed by the lume, the only thing I...
Midnight Mariner Review: Luminox’s ‘Most Luminous’ Watch Is Clean, Classy Wrist Candy
  A 1,000-horsepower turbocharged V6 screamed past and faded away as quickly as it had approached. The unseen Formula 1 machine was turning hot laps ahead of qualifying inside the Miami International Autodrome. Meanwhile, I navigated a security checkpoint and began the upstream swim through a river of Ferrari red, McLaren papaya orange, and dark blue Red Bull outfits.   I, a...
Down and Dirty With the ‘Filthy 13’: TUUL Watch Review
  Sandboarding is really, really dirty. There is a lot of falling, rolling, and tumbling down giant dunes. And if youre keeping track of time, your wristwatch will get kind of thrashed about. I couldnt think of a better place to test a wristwatch that is tool to the core, the TUUL Filthy 13.   With a name like TUUL, its pretty...
Latest Strava Updates Use AI to Recommend Routes, Level Leaderboards, and More
  The weekend comes, and theres an urge to shake up your routine. Its time to take a long run or ride to new places. That often takes tinkering on a map and can eat into riding time if you havent planned ahead.   Then comes the urge to just wing it, which can be fun —unless you end up riding down...
