The Unbound is Hyperlite Mountain Gear's redesigned thru-hiking pack, built from Dyneema® Woven Composite 3.9 for an ultralight, highly abrasion-resistant carry. This 55L version scales up the design for longer resupply gaps and heavier loads, while keeping the same dual-entry stretch-mesh front pocket, twin side bottle pockets and bottom stash pocket for gear you need on the move. Removable, contoured aluminium stays and a V-Pull hip belt add structure and support, and wider, naturally curved shoulder straps and adjustable roll-top compression straps round out the carry system. Suits thru hikes, multi-day trips and long-distance trails where low pack weight matters most.

Features

  • Dyneema® Woven Composite 3.9 main body fabric — puncture and abrasion-resistant, with internal seam taping.
  • 100D Dyneema® Gridstop reinforcement in high-wear zones.
  • Dual-entry Dyneema® Stretch Mesh front pocket for quick-access, on-the-move storage.
  • Large side bottle pockets for one-handed access to water and other essentials.
  • Bottom stash pocket for wet or frequently used gear.
  • Two removable, contoured aluminium stays for structure and load transfer.
  • Removable hip belt with V-Pull cinch system and cushioned padding for heavier loads.
  • Roll-top closure with removable, adjustable compression straps for volume control and securing trekking poles or oversized bottles.
  • Low-profile, sewn-in daisy chains (vertical and horizontal) for external gear attachment.
  • Wider, naturally curved shoulder straps for comfort under load.
  • Five torso-fit sizes (XS-Tall) to dial in the carry.
  • Taller body than the 40L version for longer resupply stretches and bulkier gear.
  • Rated to carry up to 18kg (40lb).

About hyperlite mountain gear

'Essentialism' is the HMG philosophy - the brand is built on the belief that having the right gear–nothing more than one needs to achieve success, and nothing less than is necessary to do so comfortably, safely, and precisely–results in a transformational outdoor experience.

ULTRALIGHT DYNEEMA GEAR

Dyneema® Composite Fabrics are high-performance, non-woven, rip-stop, composite laminates.

The material's unique properties allow for continual flex at stress points without compromising strength or structural integrity. Lighter than Silnylon but stronger than Kevlar, Dyneema® Composite Fabrics are 100% waterproof prior to stitching with high chemical and UV resistance.

The result? A rangle of ultralight, reliable backpacking gear, where durability and functionality doesn't need to result in a weight compromise. It is gear designed to function perfectly, consistently, and become a seamless extension of the user, so the focus can remain solely on the backcountry experience.
