Hyperlite Mountain Gear's close quarters pack

The Southwest 40 keeps you honest about packing smart and efficiently on weekends or section hikes where the supplies you may need along the way are always within reach. When the route is thick with vegetation, requires the occasional up and over immovable objects, and calls for “suck in your gut and shimmy through” type moves, the Southwest is the backpack you want up close and personal. This pack family is made specifically for tough adventures that would rip most other ultralight-style packs to shreds.
