Hiking Downriver
The Big Agnes Sweetwater UL 28L Backpack is an ultralight daypack that’s ideal for easy-going hikes downriver and not-so-easy-going fastpacking trips upstream. This 28L option hosts the smallest volume out of the collection of ultralight Sweetwater backpacks from Big Agnes. Inspired by running vests, the shoulder straps and Open Range hip belt ensure bounce-free stability and support. The shoulder straps, hip belt, and even the back are all adjustable to ensure a solid fit for all body types. All the exterior pockets are stretch-mesh so you can stash and go in the middle of the trail without holding up the rest of the group.
