Whether trail running, fastpacking, or peak bagging, a versatile backpack is essential for full day outings. Designed to blend the best features of modern running vests with the capacity and durability of alpine packs, moving fast on exposed terrain has never been more comfortable.
Refreshed for 2023 with an improved strap fit, enhanced instructions, and valuable community feedback integrated.
Thoroughly tested and refined through extensive user feedback, both in the sewing room and out on the trail.
Important Note Before You Purchase:
This pattern is a beloved classic and has been successfully made by hundreds of community members since its release in 2000. However, please note that it does not reflect the detailed, fully illustrated instructions you may be accustomed to from our newer patterns. Consider it more of a “choose your own adventure” guide—providing a general construction order rather than detailed, step-by-step instructions. While it offers plenty of room for creativity, this pattern may be better suited for those with some experience or a willingness to experiment. For extra guidance, we’ve included a video series on LearnMYOG.com with my personal tips and tricks. Despite its more streamlined format, this pattern remains popular due to its uniqueness and adventure-driven design.
