The 4400 Southwest Pack (70L) from Hyperlite Mountain Gear is the preferred pack for backpacking in dense, heavily wooded trails in the roughest, toughest climates. Featuring three external, solid Hardline with Dyneema pockets, the Southwest series has been carefully designed and thoroughly tested to outlast any ultralight pack on the market.
The wide top opening offers quick, uninterrupted entry to the internal compartment so you can say goodbye to fiddly zippers and pockets and get what you need hassle-free.
Generous, external pockets offer easy access to your gear whether it be an outer layer, food or water filter. This rugged compartment adds an extra 9.8L of external volume which comes in handy on long, self-supported hikes. Personalise your pack system with Hyperlite's range of accessories.
Whether you're hiking the Australian Alps Walking Track, Larapinta Trail or Heysen Trail, or just escaping to the mountains for a week in the wilderness, the Hyperlite 4400 Southwest is a rugged, long-haul pack for any thru-hiking enthusiast.
Your torso length, not your height, determines your pack size. We recommend the following to determine yours:
1. Tilt your head slightly forward to locate the bony bump at the base of your neck. (This is your 7th cervical (or C7) vertebra).
2. Using a flexible tape measure, have someone measure starting at that spot and running down along the curve of your spine.
3. Place your hands on your hips so you can feel your iliac crest, which serves as the “shelf” of your pelvic girdle. (It’s the first hard thing you feel when you run your fingers down from the sides of your ribcage.) Position your hands so your thumbs are reaching behind you.
4. Have your friend finish measuring at the point where the tape crosses an imaginary line drawn between your thumbs. This distance is your torso length.
5. If your measurement falls right in between sizes (for example, if you have a 17.0” torso, so you are right on the line between a Small and a Medium), we suggest you choose the larger torso size.
