Hyperlite Mountain Gear
Windrider 70
$425.00
Description

  The solution to the high-volume pack that weighs too much before it’s even loaded, the Windrider 70 works in extreme environments where resupplies are infrequent. Ultra-strong, lightweight, and durable, Hyperlite Mountain Gear made this rucksack for big packrafting adventures to the Brooks Range of Alaska, massive thru-hikes, or multi-sport adventures where resupplies are infrequent. Whatever your expedition, this ultralight backpack will carry everything you need and nothing you don’t.

  Formerly known as the 4400 Windrider. Packaging may have either name but the product is identical.

Footprint sold separately.

After a number of internal studies, Hyperlite has decided to remove the metal grommets from the weep holes of their packs. This product may ship with or without the grommet as they are phased out from Hyperlite's inventory.
The grommets were not an essential feature to the weep holes of the pack. Hyperlite has determined there is no physical function of these grommets and they have been merely for aesthetic purposes. Their design and production team has developed a consistent method of precision drilling the holes in the fabric. The heat generated from the friction from this process will seal the edges of the weep holes and eliminate the chance of the fabric fraying. This will now make the holes just as strong as when constructed with grommets.

2025 Jeep Wrangler V6 Goes Stick Shift Exclusive, but Gladiator Drops It
  The 2025 Jeep Wrangler is as noteworthy for the things it doesnt have as for the things it does — things like an automatic transmission, which will no longer be offered with a V6.
