Hyperlite Mountain Gear
Windrider 55
$379.00 - $399.00
Description

  The Hyperlite Mountain Gear Windrider 55 has made a name for itself as the ideal Appalachian Trail thru-hiking pack with its massive mesh pockets that help to dry wet gear on the move, and its adaptable carrying capacity as supplies accumulate and dwindle along the route. Ideal for weekend, section, or thru-hikes where resupply points are less frequent and/or for equipment flexibility. When the extra volume is not in use, the top can roll down enough to make the overall size of the pack similar to the Windrider 40, but that additional space can come in pretty handy when you need it.

  Formerly known as the 3400 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.

We Go Deep on Bowhunting Tech With Mathews Athlete Trail Kreitzer
  Trail Kreitzer’s been bow hunting since he was a little kid — and he has the photographic evidence to prove it. From an early age, he would roam the hills and river bottoms surrounding his childhood home attempting to shoot jackrabbits and cottontails.    Years later, as an adult, Kreitzer’s passion for archery and bowhunting reignited (about 24 years ago), and...
Bikepacking to Every National Park in a Single 18K Mile Push: Lessons Learned
  When Spencer McCullough decided to spend over a year cycling to every national park in the contiguous U.S., he didnt have much experience. The 28-year-old had only gone bikepacking once before — a 3-day trip planned entirely by a friend.   But after 411 days and 18,247 miles, McCullough has finally met his goal of biking to 51 national parks, and hes...

  The best mountain bike flat pedals will help you feel confident by providing great traction, predictable mobility, and a supportive platform to ride on. A poor pedal choice can cause your feet to slip around, adding risk to every ride. While most pedals share the same basic design, there are many subtle differences that impact the feel.

Frost Fighter: Rabbit Defroster Speed Tights Review
  Adjusting to winter running can be tricky. Swift movement in 30 degrees in November feels much colder than 30 degrees in March. Reminding your body that it can still function and do hard things when its cold can be challenging, even for those of us who live in super-cold climates — Im one of them! But, properly made winter running...
Walking on Clouds: Rossignol Women’s Chalet Shoes Review
  Style and functionality can coexist with an expert-level product. Rossignol made no exception with the Chalet Shoes, a series of winter down booties with the support of a tennis shoe and the plushness of a house slipper.   While Rossignol is famously known for highly engineered skis, it also designs solid apparel and footwear, the Chalet included. With a high platform...
Fashion Over Function: Are Off-Road Tires the Right Choice?
  I was recently in a closed-door meeting with an off-road tire manufacturer. The meeting revolved around the look of the tires sidewall and tread and had nothing to do with the tires performance. I think this is the trajectory of the off-road tire market — fashion over function.   With that said, most new off-road tires from major manufacturers are quite...
The Best Women’s Climbing Shoes of 2024
  Climbing shoes are incredibly nuanced and diverse in shape and feel. Finding the right shoe depends a lot on what type of climbing youre doing and what type of rock you’re doing it on. Add in the fact that sizes, rubber type, and fit vary wildly from brand to brand, and its no wonder that finding the right shoe can...
How to Buy a Used Hunting Rifle
  With the exception of a few, all my guns have previous owners. Most of them I bought while I worked in a gun shop during college or are family heirlooms (which my family also bought used). And I’ve had little to no functional issues with most of these rifles. In fact, some of them are nearly immaculate.   I actually prefer...

A Packable Whitewater Punch: Werner Sherpa 4-Piece Paddle Review
  The last potentially unexplored whitewater canyon of the Nooksack watershed was right there in front of us, and like on any exploratory whitewater descent, the nerves, excitement, and fear all came flooding in at once.   After scouting, we ran the first two rapids — big and powerful — and we could sense the river was picking up some serious gradient....
Volvo EX30 Delayed: Now Coming in 2025
  The Volvo EX30 is supposed to be arriving at North American dealerships now. But today, the company announced to its dealers and preorder customers that theyll have to wait for a 2025 target delivery date to be announced.   Volvos reasoning for this is due to changes in the global automotive landscape. That could mean a lot of things, from parts...
