Ultralight materials found in the Mountain Hardwear ThruWay 50 combine with unique compression design to create a stable, high-performance pack for the demanding thru-hiker. The ThruWay features a minimalist, ventilated and effective Modified Alpine UL suspension that includes a removable HardWave framesheet, removable lightweight hipbelt, and removable 48 x 20 in pad. The roll-top design provides easier access, while minimizing weight and clutter. The large main compartment has minimal seams for better weather protection. The front compression panel provides convenient overload capacity. The ThruWay also feature easily accessible super stretch side panels allowing for water bottle storage or any long items you may need to store.
