What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:"This is my go-to for alpine missions where weight matters but functionality can’t be compromised. I love how the Alpine Light 28L shaves grams without cutting corners on essential features."From one-day summit pushes to quick alpine getaways, the Alpine Light 28L Backpack from Mountain Hardwear delivers the perfect balance of light weight and durable design. Crafted with rugged, undyed high-tenacity nylon ripstop, this pack withstands scrapes and keeps things simple with a streamlined, snow-shedding back-panel. The removable frame-sheet doubles as a handy seat pad, while the minimalist tool carry system and modular rope strap keep everything in place for the climb ahead. Thoughtful details like dual-density foam shoulder straps and a hydration reservoir-compatible design mean this pack is ready to haul your gear in total comfort, mile after mile.
