Below: Alternative Kangaroo - The Expedtion Utility pocket. Bungy is cord lock adjustable at all 4 corners. Click to enlarge. Pocket in this photo is easily holding an Integral Designs Primaloft jacket, a Lowe W/B parka, and a Merino Icebreaker pullover! Bungy adjustments are inside the pouch and pass through grommetted drain type holes. Shoulder straps for summit sack models will attach in the same way.

And a version with a top flap and 3 compression straps on each side: Click for larger image.

Below: The zippered version of the pouch converted to a daypack. Any type of webbing, rope, or cord can be run through the corner grommet holes to create shoulder straps. Used in conjunction with the hip pack top, you could almost going backpacking! The combination probably is not enough for Denali though. Click for blowup.

Below: Removing the P&G extension Bayonets, toppocket, and back vent eliminate weight for summit pushes. Water/wand pocket can be left behind also. Pack is in roll-top mode.

Below: Full Spectra Shoulder Pads - have a very supple non-abrasive feel against bare skin, adjust on clothing without dragging, accentuate the Bypass system, and are rodent proof.

This is our most versatile expedition pack. Capable of 70 lb loads and over 7,000 cu in, it also converts to a day-climbing pack that performs so well you would not know it's really a big pack. Below: An UnLTD+2 for a very short person. Add $25.00 for a dyed Dyneema Kangaroo to regular price. Click for blowup. 2 layer water bottle pockets are visible with the pole layer made of Dyneema. As shown, its 5,000+ cubic inches weighs 4.5 lbs. This includes a bungy system on top of the 2 layer summit, and a bladder carrier underneath. The Kangaroo is also 2" larger in circumference than the standard. IT also has extra velcro pole/axe loops.

Pack shown at right weighs 5 lbs 2 oz. complete. Without the extra oversize 420 fabric Kangaroo Pocket or the oversize water/wand pockets, it would easily go under 5 lbs. These dyneema water utility pockets have a 420 wand pocket on the rear side and the Kangaroo is 2" taller and 1" bigger around than normal. Trade the 12 oz hip pack top for a 4 oz. 2 layer Summit Flap and we're well down into the 4.5 lb range.

Other ways to create a lighter pack include: Exclusive use of polypro webbing, exclusion of extension skirt and elimination of grommets in main drawstring, use of lighter weight double layer Dyneema grid bottom, use of dyneema grid fabric for shoulder pads rather than 420 or 630 fabric, elimination of Kangaroo for lash on utility/shovel pocket.......

Below: An extra tougher layer on the backside of the water bottle pocket is handy for wands, fishing pole, trekking poles etc. Add $10.00 for a custom set of doubles.

Below: In most cases a sporty 2 Layer Summit Flap with zipper can be swapped for a basic Hip-pack top for no extra charges.

Below: The water bladder holder option under the hip-pack top pocket is handy and is a useful way to carry a bladder on the pack or with the hip-pack. The compartment is large enough for insulated bladder covers or extra warm clothing.

The velcro wings wrap over the slot to keep contents secure. Different size webbings may be used for hip belt: 1", 1.5", or 2"
