Minimalist V2 Pack
Six Moon Designs
Minimalist V2 Pack
$259.95
Description

  Six Moon Designs took the simple, clean design of the Minimalist, and using customer feedback, made it even better. The Minimalist V2 still has the perfect amount of space for all your gear and a lightweight suspension that adds just enough support but now with larger, more secure stash pockets. Even the lettering took on a new modern, subtle look. Thanks for the help making the thru-hikers dream backpack even better.

  Despite being called the Minimalist, this pack provides all the comforts of much heavier packs. It comes with a removable Delrin Hoop Stay Frame and hip belt for maximum load days. And because every long-distance hiker is different, it has a lot of configurations to suit your specific comforts and offers a remarkable amount of extra storage space.

  Comes with the standard Flight Shoulder Harness and Flight Hipbelt.

Overview
The main compartment is 40L with a 9L extension collar. It incorporates a top lid and has two additional large external gusseted pockets as well as a front stasher pocket with a pleated gusset. The top lid can be used to secure larger bear canisters too large to fit in the main compartment.

The exterior pockets add a lot of quick access storage solutions. And all the external pockets have been reconstructed for the V2, featuring larger, more secure designs.

-- Hip belt pockets are cavernous.
-- Both harness styles offer additional pockets for electronics, snacks, or other necessities.
-- 2 large asymmetric side pockets. The shorter right pocket is great for holding water bottles. The taller left pocket is perfect for carrying an ultralight tarp, tent, or tall hydration bladder.
-- Large rear shove-it sleeve for quick access to gear and rainwear.

The Minimalist V2 offers several adjustable straps and tensioners to ensure a stable, comfortable fit. The Delrin Hoop Frame is designed to shift load bearing to the hip belt, reducing the strain on your shoulders and upper body.

Frame Configuration
The Minimalist comes with a removable Delrin Hoop Stay Frame. The ends of the hoop rest on the base of the hip belt, transferring the weight to the hip belt. This design feature makes carrying heavy loads more comfortable and reduces pack sag.
Using the Delrin Hoop Stay and hip belt together increases your load carrying capacity by approximately 10 lbs*.
*We recommend a base weight of 12 lbs or less even when increasing load weight and using the Delrin Hoop Stay and hip belt.

Frameless Configuration
The Minimalist is the only ultralight, frame-less pack on the market with an adjustable torso length. This allows the Minimalist to provide unbridled comfort.
When configured as frame-less, the highest recommended base weight is 8 lbs / 3.5 kg and maximum weight not exceeding 25 lbs / 11 kg.

Standard Flight Shoulder Straps
If you’re used to carrying a traditional backpacking pack and aren’t from the running world, you will probably be comfortable with standard shoulder straps.

The Best Running Shoes of 2024
  We used to say running was a pretty simple sport. All you need is a pair of running shoes and clothes, and off you go. However, with the advances in technology these days, we’re second-guessing that concept.   Somehow over the past 25 years, complexity crept in. GPS watch data, Strava segments, hydration vests, and the obligatory social media post-run selfie...

The Best Dog GPS Trackers of 2024
  It’s a dog’s life, as the saying goes, which is lucky for us when a dog’s life includes swimming in rivers, running up mountains, chasing friends in fields, and rolling in unthinkable messes. We tested the top dog GPS trackers so you can track where your pup ends up, even if you wish you didn’t (or didn’t have to smell...
Lots More Tuscadero Pink Jeeps, While Gladiator Gets Electrified
  Around 30,000 Jeep Wranglers roam the planet wearing Tuscadero Pink paint. While it was supposed to be a limited-edition color back in 2021, strong demand has kept it available.   For 2024, not only does the Wrangler get Tuscadero, but for the first time, the Gladiator gets the pink treatment as well.   In even bigger news, the 2025 model year Jeep...
The Best Backpacking Sleeping Pads of 2024
  The biggest concern with backpacking sleeping pads is finding the right balance between comfort and weight.And this balance depends largely on the individual. Ounce counters may prefer the lightest pad possible, even if it means forgoing some comfort.   However, other backpackers may prefer to give up weight in other areas so they can happily carry a larger, more comfortable sleeping...
The Best Gluten-Free Freeze Dried Meals: Camp Food for Everyone
  I count the day my wife said she’d like to go on an extended backpacking trip with me as one of the happiest of my life. And to a lesser degree, a stressful one.   Kat eats gluten-free. On previous shorter backpacking trips, she made her own meals, like red chile enchiladas with corn tortillas that she would then vacuum seal...
How Freeride Mountain-Bike Pioneer Tarek Rasouli Returned to the Trails
  My favorite segment in the 2023 film Nothing’s For Free: The History of Freeride Mountain Biking chronicles the improbable comeback story of German cyclist Tarek Rasouli. One of the pioneers of freeride in the mid-nineties, Rasouli suffered a terrifying crash in Whistler, Canada, in 2002 that left him paralyzed from the waist down and reliant on a wheelchair.   The injury...
