Hyperlite Mountain Gear (HMG) packs have long been a favourite among prominent packrafters and multisport adventurers pushing the limits of their activity, people such as Forrest McCarthy, Roman Dial and Luc Mehl. These are the main reasons:
Material
HMG packs use a unique Dyneema Composite Fabric fabric. Along with its exceptional weight-to-strength ratio, it readily sheds water which means the material is not only water restistant but won’t ‘wet out’ (absorb) and so gain weight. This makes the Porter well suited to packrafting and other wet activities and also means you can forgot the nuisance of a rain cover. The fully taped seams and tight roll-top closure ensures the Porter remains water resistant, although we recommend an additional liner.
Construction
Fully tape sealed side seams, bar tack reinforcements on all stress Points.
