Why compromise when you don’t have to? The 2019 Mayhem 45 is ultralight, ultra-durable, and ultra-comfortable. Built with Spectra Fiber, the pack offers a top tier strength-to-weight ratio. Used by military and law enforcement, Spectra Fiber is an ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene known for its light weight, strength and abrasion resistance properties. In the Mayhem 45, this means more efficient pack carry, more mileage, and a lifetime of adventures. Less pack weight also means more room for the essentials-like melted chocolate bars and squished PB&Js. At 45 liters, the Mayhem 45 is designed for one- to three-night backpacking trips, backcountry huts trips, gear heavy days at the crag, and adventure travel. The hybrid top and panel opening offers easy access to the front of the pack, a must-have for tight environments and organized packing.
