Amazing Service

Because you deserve it.

Fast, light, and adventure-ready--the Big Agnes Sweetwater UL 43L is built for minimalist backpackers who need smart storage and all-day comfort. With an ultralight yet durable design, it's the perfect pack for covering big miles with ease.

Description

Ultralight suspension with structure and support for a comfortable carry: The Big Agnes Load Wrangler Plus fit system uses an integrated frame system with body-mapped and ventilated foam padding to provide structure for a stable carry. Broad, breathable mesh shoulder straps and dual sternum straps inspired by trail running vests keep the pack snug and disperse the load across the shoulders. The mesh-backed Open Range Hip Belt has an articulated design that securely wraps around the hips and passes behind the framesheet, pulling it inward for effective load transfer. The shoulder straps attach to the framesheet via key slots for precise torso adjustment, and load lifters further dial in the fit.
Versatile storage for overnight adventures: The main compartment has a top-loading spindrift collar that provides extra room when you need it, and tucks away when you don't. There's enough room inside to accommodate a nine-inch bear canister. External compression cords keep gear secure and stable at any capacity. Stretch mesh pockets on the harness keep small essentials close at hand, and additional stretch mesh pockets on the sides and main panel expand to carry extra layers and other gear. There are additional zip pockets on the lid, an internal sleeve for a hydration reservoir, and plenty of straps and tool loops for attaching gear.
Integrated rain cover for weather protection: An included rain cover provides extra security from the weather or can be left at home for minimal adventures. It's made of recycled nylon ripstop with a waterproof, tear-resistant coating.
Sustainable construction that doesn't compromise on functionality or durability: The main body uses a high tenacity ripstop nylon that's made from discarded fishing nets. It's exceptionally strong while remaining ultralight. Abrasion panels and the lining are made from recycled nylon, and the shoulder straps, hip belt and back panel employ recycled EVA foam.
