Dirty 30 EPLX200 - Ultralight Backpack

I’ve put several weekends on the Hilltop packs Dirty 30 EPLX200 pack. Ben said the main compartment is about 33 litres ? Under estimated as usual, I can pack everything in that I normally put in a 50 litre Waymark pack.Not sure on the side pocket cord pulls as they can slip after tightening, but standard cord locks are no better. Maybe elastic cord would improve this ? Also the cut of the pockets would be more functional without the pleating. Like the ones on the Raven pack, so I find myself checking Nothing has fallen out when on the trail. Made from EPLX200 Ecopack fabric it feels tough, flexible and water proof fabric. Well padded shoulder straps with load lifters and the addition of a Minimalist padded hip belt, has made it possible to carry 20-25Lb comfortably. The bottom pocket is handy for my pack rain cover and gloves. The front open mesh pocket swallows my rain gear, first aid and other accessory’s I may need in a hurry. With the sit pad fastened on rear elastic strap it serves to reduce a sweaty back. Now we are into the shoulder season I’m packing warmer bulkier gear, but it’s still taking everything for a backpacking or hammock camping weekend trip.
A pack I hope to have many years of adventures with.

Pretty sure I saw one of these in white on the back of a thru hiker passing through the Cumberland Valley today. Might want to track that guy down! It made for a tempting sight.

I’ll probably never have the privilege of owning this bag. And this probably isn’t the spot to write this, but if your going to let me, I’m going to. Lol

I literally just learned about your company through FB page “Carryology”. The first time I go to your site, I find the “Dirty 30”. I work in what’s called the “Dirty Verde”.

The first time time I went to Flagstaff this last summer on a fire detail, I bought a souvignier, at a Maverick, my “Dirty Thirty”. It was a cheap laminated “cowboy” hat. The hat was only $30 and was dirty from previous shop goers soda drippings lol. But now it’s my companion I take to work with me every day and just love it for what it is. Unfortunately it’s getting pretty worn and dunno how long it’ll last but it was fun.

I may have to get a new “Dirty 30” soon to replace my old one. There was no point to this. Just thought it was funny I came across another “Dirty Thirty”, and couldn’t help but wonder why this was called “Dirty 30” other than the volume size. Why is it “Dirty”??? I may have to find out myself…. A gentleman will never tell. Lol hope to be a customer soon. Thanks for your time.
