How To Measure Your Torso
How To Measure For Your Hip Belt
  • Standing tall, tilt your chin to your chest
  • Find your C7 Vertabra - the large lump at the base of your neck
  • Use flexible tape to measure down the length & natural curve of your spine to your iliac crest / the top of your hipbone
  • This measurment is your torso length

  • Measure directly across the belly button (or 1 inch below) and around the lower back & torso.

The ShadowLight™ Ultralight backpack brings a new meaning to "ultralight backpacking". No longer do you have to sacrifice everything to get below a 2 lb pack weight!

Shadowlight- named for its ultralight weight and how well it rides on your back. Due to its geometry and weight, it feels like an extension of your body.

  • Ultralight and Ultra Comfortable: Coming in at under 2 lbs (including a durable 24 in. frame & wide hip belt,) it comfortably carries up to 35+ lbs. The shoulder straps, hip belt, & removable back panel were all crafted to fit anatomically, making the Shadowlight Backpack feel more like an extension of your body.
  • Ultralight With Extra Organization and Access: The Shadowlight Backpack is equipped with side pockets, large hip belt pockets, stretch-mesh pockets, & a full length main panel entry zipper to keep you organized on the trail while keeping your pack weight under 2 lbs. The adjustable roll-top gives you additional access & customizable space for packing.
  • High Strength Ultralight Fabric: We used our own special Spectra / Robic Ripstop fabric, which gives you the benefits of both a high tenacity nylon & UHMWPE fibers! Enjoy the strength and durability of a much heavier fabric, but now in an ultralight package.

Embrace a better kind of ultralight exploration that doesn't sacrifice comfort & organization with the Shadowlight Backpack.

Very disappointed

I finally got a chance to use my Shadowlight 60 I bought last year. I had such high hopes for it, but sadly, I'm very disappointed. First off, the difficulty in opening and closing the zippers on the belt pockets make them pretty much unusable. Cheap, cheap zippers. I should not have to stop and take off my pack to get a zipper open to grab an energy bar. Likewise, the four side pockets, which were the main attraction for me, are equally unusable since the drawstring closures do not close enough to hold things in the pockets. Water bottles are fine, I guess, but put anything else in the pockets (ditty bag, daily food ration, poop kit, etc.) and they are likely to fall out when you stop for a break. Mind you, the bag carries well. It's comfortable. But I already had packs that were comfortable. What made this pack so attractive were the large belt pockets and four side pockets. Sadly, I don't recommend it.

Great lightweight pack!

This is the lightest pack I’ve ever owned- It’s also one of the most comfortable! Heavy water carries, winter gear, this pack will do it!

Amazing bag!

I love my OV bag! First one I have bought and won’t go back.

Only issues is deciding between the Tall and Regular - mine is Regular but feels short on the straps so maybe consider the Tall - I’m 6’1 for reference.

Regardless amazing bag and would buy again.
