Short Torso Packs

This is absolutely perfect. Ease of loading and unloading along with typical Zpacks quality. Fits great and weighs nothing.

The Bagger Ultra 25L is the ultimate small travel backpack to take you from plane, to town, to trail. It is sized to fit under airplane seats and can even count as your personal item on budget airlines. With the right gear list you can bag a peak or two on a daytrip excursion or even do a couple overnights with a Summer Quilt, an ultralight tent, and room to spare.  

Featuring a small and streamlined design, the Bagger can be packed as a secondary backpack for summit side trips or used as an ultralight minimalist pack for short adventures into the backcountry. The Bagger utilizes an included, easily removable foam sit pad that doubles as a frame and padding against your back.

With 3 different interchangeable strap designs, a removable belt, a comfy sit pad, and a bunch of cool modular add-ons, the versatile Bagger Ultra is your ticket to maximizing day hikes, weekend trips, or commutes.

The Nero Classic is as as close as it gets to our original frameless backpack design which was tested on an Appalachian Trail thru-hike over 20 years ago. The Nero is compact and streamlined with only the most essential features for long distance hikers. Bomb-proof Ultra 100X fabric and waterproof taped seams can handle whatever nature throws at it. Gray, Green, Pink, and Red variations feature Ultra TenX fabric for an added pop of color.

Choose from multiple volumes to fit your hiking style. Three different interchangeable strap designs, an optional removable belt, a comfy sit pad, and a bunch of cool modular add-ons make the versatile Nero Classic your ticket to maximizing every day hike, section hike, or thru-hike.

Designed for advanced hikers who want their frameless pack to move fast and work hard, the Nero Pro takes the same streamlined, frameless philosophy that makes the Nero Classic a go-to for minimalists, long-distance hikers, and elevates it to technical territory.

Featuring premium Ultra TenX fabric and a full set of Stretch-Mesh center, side, and bottom pockets, the pack is purpose-built to give high-use storage areas an advanced balance of stretch, durability, and trail-ready function.

The back of the pack also gets a thoughtful performance boost, too, with a zippered 3D mesh sleeve that keeps the included foam sit pad secure and comfortable against your back.

Choose from multiple volumes to match the way you hike, then dial in the carry with interchangeable strap options, and a full range of modular add-ons. Whether you’re moving fast on a day hike, stretching miles on a section hike, or fine-tuning your thru-hike setup, the Nero Pro gives advanced hikers the flexibility to build a pack system around their exact style.

I absolutely love this pack. Its super comfortable and super light!

It is really the best backpack I have ever owned. Lightweight, waterproof (tested under strong rain), a lot of space inside and very well balanced all the weight goes in the hips so the shoulders are always relaxed. Love it 🥰
