Premium ultralight running pack featuring Challenge Sailcloth construction and designed for long days in technical alpine environments.
We constructed the main body from an ultra-durable 100d Challenge Sailcloth Ultra material. The soft, breathable, custom-engineered diamond mesh with a smooth edge binding provides next-to-skin comfort. Constructed with BD SETT (Stitchless Edge Taping Technology) that improves fit and durability, this pack remains comfortable on the move. The pack's integrated Z-Pole storage is easy to stow and deploy on the go, and dual piolet attachments prepare you for technical terrain.

"Love the pack, construction, features, material etc. are all top notch. Be careful opening the pack while holding it though, second time I used this bag I managed to pull the pink pull tab straight through the fabric with minimal force. @ BD, probably should reinforce this point in further iterations!"
"Let me help because BD won’t. Do not measure your lower ribs the vest come nowhere near them. Measure your chest, I’m 6’1 210lbs and 43 inches chest and a large is my size. I ordered a medium and that thing hardly fits. The bag itself is awesome and preform very well"
"Not sure what Nordas contribution to this is but BD is always exceptional fit and design. It’s just a fancier fabric probably totally unnecessary for the bag but it’s cool if you can afford it."
"Such a beautiful bag and makes my chest look athletic af lol"
"Such a goodlooking bag"
