Description

  The solution to the high-volume pack that weighs too much before it’s even loaded, the Windrider 70 works in extreme environments where resupplies are infrequent. Ultra-strong, lightweight, and durable, Hyperlite Mountain Gear made this rucksack for big packrafting adventures to the Brooks Range of Alaska, massive thru-hikes, or multi-sport adventures where resupplies are infrequent. Whatever your expedition, this ultralight backpack will carry everything you need and nothing you don’t.

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

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.

The Surprising Way Air Hunger Limits Your Endurance
  Our lungs and airways are “overbuilt,” according to exercise physiologists. Though we gasp and pant during heavy exercise, that’s not what actually slows us down. Instead, the bottleneck is the heart’s ability to pump oxygen-rich blood to the muscles, or the muscles’ ability to make use of that oxygen. That’s why the heart and muscles get bigger and stronger in...
Samaya ULTRA35 Review: Minimalist Dyneema Pack Worth Maximalist Price
  The Samaya ULTRA35 is an ultralight minimalist alpine pack with the added bling of Dyneema. On paper, it checks all the boxes for a high-performance alpinist. But it comes at a price — an MSRP of $440 for a pack of this volume is a big ask.   I tested the pack over a week of backcountry, multipitch ice climbing in...
11 Ounces, 1,300 Gallons: LifeSaver Wayfarer Packable Water Purifier Review
  We were about 20 miles up Gypsum Creek, pedaling deeper into White River National Forest aboard a pair of burly UBCO bikes loaded down with an obscene amount of camping gear. We had everything we needed for a weekend outing and gear-testing trip — except water. I knew there was a water source at camp, a favorite little fishing spot...
Your Rain Jacket May Soon Be Illegal
  “Forever Chemicals” keep mud out of your boots and make rain jackets waterproof, but they’re about to be illegal. So, back in 2013, footwear maker Keen decided to try and figure out the formula for keeping everyone dry without poisoning our drinking water and contaminating our soil. Could they make high performance boots and jackets without causing cancer and suppressing...

Exmoor Coast Traverse - England's Best Kept Mountaineering Secret Interview
Journeying through a largely hidden world at the base of England's biggest sea cliffs, where few ever tread and the tidal range is the second highest on the planet, the traverse of the Exmoor Coast is a unique and esoteric adventure. A multi-day mission of slippery boulder hopping, sustained scrambling, and frequent climbing, it can perhaps best be described as...
4 Ways to Open, ‘Double-Safe’ Magnet Lock: Vosteed Ankylo Review
  Vosteed knives should be a household name based on the quality and variety of knives the brand continues to put out. But youd be forgiven for not knowing —after all, the company only ended up on my radar by accident. I was having myself a Google, researching the Shilin blade style, and Vosteeds Nightshade flipper came up.   But that was...

The Best Skis for Beginners in 2024
  For many, it’s not realistic to have a truck, van, convertible, SUV, and EV all parked in the driveway. The same goes for skis. When you’re choosing your first vehicle — or in this case, your primary driver at the ski resort — it’s good to think about where you’ll most use the rig the majority of the time.   Enter...
