Hyperlite Mountain Gear
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.

Skip Yosemite: The Best Backpacking in California Isn’t in a National Park
  California is a backpacker’s paradise, with stunning trails in national and state parks, and in the mountains, deserts, and along the ocean. Yet for all of this natural beauty, some of the state’s best backpacking actually lies in a little-known wilderness area near Fresno.   Dinkey Lakes Trail guides hikers past a series of alpine lakes in a remote part of...

Why Moab Is Even Better Than You’ve Heard
  Everyone who loves adventure must, at some point, make a pilgrimage to Moab, Utah. Just don’t be surprised if one trip turns into many. Cradled in a sprawling, three-dimensional garden of spiraling towers, sandstone arches, plunging canyons, and wind-polished slickrock, Moab is the hub of a 20 million-acre desert playground. The landscapes are otherworldly. The sunsets are second to none....
Comfortable, Affordable, Light: Gregory Maven 58 Pack Review
  By days two or three of a backpacking trip, Im normally resigned to some level of hip pain. My hips will bruise, become tender to the touch, or sometimes even bleed.   No matter what pack or what weight I carry, it’s bound to happen. So you can imagine my relief when, on day three on the Superior Hiking Trail (SHT)...
‘The Challenge of Our Time’: Ex-Outside Editor Launches Investigative Site to Cover Public Land Threats
  The media has undergone a radical transformation in recent years —and publications covering the outdoors are no exception.   In 2023, the Disney-owned National Geographic fired all of its staff writers, leaving few, if any, full-time writers and editors for the longtime gold standard of outdoor journalism. Outside Magazine slowly grew into a conglomerate of outdoor publications, and then fired so...
Super-Limited-Edition 2026 Subaru Revealed: Series.Yellow WRX and BRZ
  No, this isnt a collaboration between Subaru and Coldplay. Yes, the cars have the Pleiades cluster on the nose, and yes, theyre all yellow. But its just a coincidence.   Called the 2026 Subaru WRX Series.Yellow and 2026 Subaru BRZ Series.Yellow, the two new special editions will be launched at the Boxerfest event in Pennsylvania later this month.   Subaru Loves a...
Warmth That Won’t Weigh You Down: Outdoor Research Coze Women’s Winter Jacket Review
  Snow was blasting sideways while the wind howled. I was 10 minutes into a dog walk I couldnt turn back from. Thankfully, the Outdoor Research Coze womens winter jacket was living up to the hype and price. As gusts whipped around the pines and my pup shot me accusatory glances, I felt invincible in this parka.   Living in the coldest...
Brilliant Pocket Design in a Down Jacket: Stio Turnbolt Women’s Winter Jacket Review
  This was strange, wet weather for the second week of April in Crested Butte, Colo. During springs chaotic conditions, I was very happy to be wearing a toasty down jacket that was also very water resistant: The Stio Turnbolt womens winter jacket.   I stepped out of the Secret Stash Pizza and was grateful for the restaurants awning. A torrential downpour...
Gold Standard in Packable Camp Chairs Gets an Upgrade: Helinox Chair One (re) Review
  They say you shouldn’t reinvent the wheel — but what about the chair? Simple things ought to be simple, I thought to myself while breaking out the new Helinox Chair One (re) while camping recently. And chairs? Assuredly, we’ve got them down at this point.   Apparently, I was wrong. Success is a process, and while the original Chair One set...
