Weighing in at just 3 ounces — but touted to be able to carry more than 30 pounds — the just-announced PackBack from Trek Light Gear is a featherweight of a day pack with hidden strength.
Like the company’s hammocks and other bag products, the PackBack is made of a parachute nylon that’s strong and resistant to mildew and rot. It stuffs into a pouch about the size of a wallet and easily slips into the pocket of your blue jeans.
When unpacked, the stuff sack hangs inside the pack and doubles as a container for valuables such as a cell phone or keys.
Make no mistake, this is a no-frills backpack. It is broken into a main interior compartment and a second smaller compartment that is accessible from outside just behind the wearer’s back.
The PackBack is noteworthy mainly for its packability. This is a nice product to have “just in case” during travel or a bike trip, as examples, if you suddenly need capacity to carry a few items on your back.
The PackBack will retail for $26.95 when it hits stores later this summer.
