MERKEBEINER (Merke) Daypack or......UL Overnight - $475.00

The primary feature that sets these 34" circumference packs apart from the LBPs is the internal back pad rather than the external velcro-on backpad and a lack of main frame length adjustment that LBPs and larger Sarcs have. Merkes also do not have the P&G bayonet option. You can order larger circumferences than 34" if you like, as with LBP packs. For smaller packs see the Bump 32 and 33. Price includes; removable MX compression strap system like LBPs or Subpop system, water bottle pockets, kangaroo (optional) pocket ( add $45.00 for panel zipper instead of kangaroo or $45.00 for full Spectra fabric for Kangaroo), Full Spectra reinforcing rim and bottom, and single layer 'Summit' Flap. Upgrade with a matching size 2 layer summit flap or single lid strap fanny pack lid (new for 2012). Dual 1" hipbelt buckles are standard but not mandatory. Unlike the LBP which can carry over-loaded with 50 lb. loads, these packs are softer and do not have the P&G Bayonet option, and are meant to be used in the 20 - 40 lb. range. It's all about performance in a small light pack. They will certainly hold 50 lb. loads or more, however, without construction failure. Below: A Merkebeiner made with 3.5 oz dyneema grid. Base price: $475.00. No Longer available in Full Dyneema - we are using a Full Spectra substitute for that. Add $29.00 for Green Dyneema Grid. Gray pack pictured below is made with 3.5 oz Dyneema Grid fabric.
