Contour 35 - is an ultralight, frameless hiking pack crafted for seasoned long-distance hikers. Emphasizing minimalism and efficiency, it enables users to carry only the essentials. By loading the pack consistently and planning resupplies carefully, the pack mimics the structure and comfort of framed packs. Made from durable materials like Dyneema® and featuring a lightweight design, it is built for those who prioritize low weight and high performance.

The pack’s construction includes a completely frameless back panel, contoured back seams, and a removable webbing hip belt with an option for a padded version. It features Dyneema® Gridstop shoulder straps with integrated pockets and large external pockets for gear accessibility. The roll-top closure with a stiffener provides excellent weather resistance, ensuring that moisture stays out.

With a total volume of 41.5 liters (35 liters internal and 6.5 liters external) and a weight of just 459 grams, the Contour 35 is designed for ultralight backpacking with up to 11 kilograms of gear, food, and water. It includes six external pockets, allowing hikers to store essential items and snacks without opening the main compartment. This pack is ideal for serious thru-hikers who want to cover long distances without frequent stops.

The side pockets are deep and reinforced, suitable for tall bottles and equipped with elastic cords to secure the contents. Shoulder straps have sewn-on pockets for electronics and small water bottles, with daisy chains for additional attachment options. The front stretch pocket is ideal for lightweight gear, while the bottom pocket is often used for trash or daily food rations.

Despite its minimal features, the Contour 35's design encourages continuous movement and efficient packing. However, its frameless structure and lack of a load-bearing hip belt mean the weight rests entirely on the shoulders, requiring careful packing to avoid discomfort. The Contour 35 remains a top choice for ultralight backpackers seeking a minimalist yet highly functional pack. Its streamlined design and practical features make it an excellent option for those prioritizing weight and efficiency.
