This backpack was the ultimate step into the right direction! The value of this pack surpasses almost all my other gear, without it, the path to a lighter future would never have been taken. The quality of the pack, the weight, the effortless comfort all adds to the beauty of the simple design. Only carry what you need and have no fear. The beauty of a sub 10 base weight starts here 😁  and the Nero makes it all possible!

Designed for hikers pushing their limits and obsessing over every gram.  The ultralight Nero is a compact frameless backpack streamlined to only the most essential features making it great for hikes where less weight and volume is required.

Multiple thru-hikes of the Triple Crown trails have been completed with the Nero, helping to prove that smaller volume frameless packs are a legitimate approach to long-distance hiking.

Featuring a removable webbing belt, sit pad, and a variety of optional modular add-ons, the highly versatile Nero will allow you to get the most out of any day, section, or thru-hike.

Fit and comfort is great. Highly recommend this pack.
