Windrider 40
$369.00
Description

  The Windrider 40 is the pack that super-efficient thru-hikers and backpackers graduate down to when their kits are dialed, and the calories and fuel they need along the way are never too hard to find. Ideal for weekend or section hikes where frequent resupply points are available.

  There’s a kind of classic image that comes to mind when you hear the word “hiking.” Dense green and brown forests with meandering rugged root-strewn trails lead to awe-inspiring hill and mountain panoramas, and rivers and streams lull tired explorers to sleep at the end of strenuous but rewarding days. These are the environments where the Windrider takes flight.

  Formerly known as the 2400 Windrider. 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.

  These universal car seat covers spread over the front and rear seats for a full interior makeover that looks sharp and holds up over time.

Jumping Into Large Swimbaits Without Breaking the Bank
  My first experience throwing large swimbaits was years ago, not fishing for bass but monster pike in a world-renowned trout stream. A few months before a family trip to the Bighorn River in Fort Smith, Mont., my little brother had gifted me a 10-inch glide bait for Christmas. When we arrived at the river for a week of fly fishing,...
Smear Butter on Big Terrain: Scott SEA 108 Review
  This was the best day of the season! The Sunday sun shined bright overhead after a massive storm blasted Colorado throughout the day before. Eighteen inches far surpassed the forecasted 7, and there were easily 2 feet of fresh coldsmoke powder (if you knew where to look).   And look we did: My friends and I barreled and slashed through deep...

The Poison of Performance: Cycling Bans Carbon Monoxide Doping

Should We Spare a Cougar That Attacked a Child?
  Dear Sundog,    Last September, in California’s Malibu Creek State Park, a mountain lion pounced on a five-year-old child.

Coast to Coast on Two Wheels
  When a Reddit thread surfaced about a man who went on a solo cross-country e-bike tour, two questions demanded answers: Who was this adventurer, and what kind of bike did they use? After all, while reliable e-bikes have proliferated on urban commutes and mountain bike trails, only the best can successfully endure a grueling 5,500-mile journey from coast to coast....
