Raven X UL Backpack

$285.00 Sold Out

The Raven X is a handmade, frameless backpack ready to put in some tough miles. The X version features heavy duty X-Pac VX21 fabric. 

BACKPACK COLORS

  • Currently only available in White with black accents

PACK VOLUME OPTIONS

  • Available in a 35, 40, 45 & 50 liter volume size. Please keep in mind, volume measurement includes the INTERNAL compartment of the main pack only. Side pockets and front pocket are not included when factoring in this volume size. With our design, your torso size will not affect your capacity volume. Many other companies add up all pockets for total volume. We don't do that. So your 60 Liter pack from REI will most likely compare to our 45 liter Raven.

ULTRALIGHT

  • Even though we used a heavier VX21 X-Pac fabric for this pack we did our best to strip to a crazy light weight. Depending on options, this pack weighs around 28 ounces.

    Hilltop Packs Raven X 45 liter

    As I was getting prepared for my first overnight hike of more than 15 miles in 25 years and after Ben weighed my current pack at 79 oz, He insisted on making me a new pack. Hence the Raven X. Weighs in at 28 oz and with other equipment from Hilltop packs, including water all in at about 22lbs. Hit the trail to the roaring plains wilderness area for a 2 day overnight hike! Can’t say enough about how this pack and all the equipment I got from hilltop packs performed. If you need a light weight pack and want to dial your current equipment in to make an ultra light backpacking experience visit them! You won’t be sorry! Family business started and operated in Greene County!!! I am proud of this pack!!
