40L PACK, IDEAL FOR
- Long Distance Backpacking & Thru Hiking
- Any Environment
There is simply no better way to measure the effectiveness of a pack design than to send it out on thru hikes. Over the course of 2,000+ miles and an average of five to six months, day in, day out, loaded and unloaded, jostled and dragged, and exposed to the elements, one of these long walks is going to tell you the truth. So, that’s what we went after, and the Unbound 40 is the honest to goodness result. Every carefully considered feature fought for its right to remain, leaving only the essentials required for an efficient, comfortable, adaptable, and dependable travel companion. Thru hiking is hard enough. Let the Unbound 40 carry some of the weight.

Product Reviews and Questions
Perfection
Absolutely love this pack. Light weight, great pockets and looks super cool too!
Unbound 55
Walked the AT last year and wanted a Hyperlight rucksack
Now I have the perfect size for future thru hikes
I love this!
So, I'm not a thru-hiker... yet. But, I've been hiking over 20 years with mainly Osprey bags (which I still love). However, I just got my feet wet with the more UL gear that's out there, this pack being one of them. And this Unbound 55 carries all the gear very comfortably! Surprisingly comfortable! All the straps are narrower than what I'm used to, but still feels great! I'm starting the Long Trail soon to prep for my AT thru next spring. And this is the bag of choice. I've now put 20 miles on this bags since I got it a couple days ago. I have no doubts on this bag carrying my gear for my upcoming long distance hikes! Nice work HMG!
Best backpacker out there
This bag beats them all. Ultra light, comfy, resistant, spacious. I'm a total nerdy fan!
Love this pack!
Great design, lightweight, lots of extra storage between the side pockets and stretch pocket on the front! Comfortable and durable as well!
