Is the hyperlite durable?
Exceptional durability thanks to majority 150-denier Dyneema construction. Good carrying capacity-to-weight ratio. Waterproof materials throughout. Exorbitantly expensive, even in the context of the pricey ultralight category. The pack’s superior weather resistance stems from its Dyneema Composite Fabric (DCF), which provides inherent waterproofing without requiring additional coatings or treatments.Dyneema® composites are 100% waterproof on their own—no coating to wear out, no rain cover needed.Updated a year ago. The Dyneema®-based fabrics we use to build our packs are 100% waterproof prior to stitching.At the heart of our products is Dyneema®, a material that looks like a fabric but is scientifically closer to a high-tech, multi-layer laminate. It’s famous for being stronger than steel at a fraction of the weight, and it’s what allows us to create exceptionally light, durable, and weatherproof gear.

Is the Hyperlite good?
After testing the Hyperlite Mountain Gear Southwest 55, you can count us among its legions of fans. This pack sets the standard for lightweight comfort and performance, and it’s more versatile than its surface-level “expensive ultralight pack” designation would suggest. The Hyperlite Mountain Gear Unbound 40 is our favorite all-around ultralight pack. It excels in wet weather, carries comfortably even under heavy loads, and offers excellent on-trail functionality.
