Description

On the trail, it's not just about what you pack—it's about what you choose to leave behind. Meet The Atom, a thoughtfully crafted pack for the ultralight hiker.

The Atom embodies the essence of less—hipbeltless, frameless, effortless. Tailored for those craving to go further, faster, it's your go-to for FKTs and ultralight thru-hikes. No frills, just pure functionality.

This pack has few load assisting features and, as such, is only intended to be used by those with dialled in gear lists who like to enjoy the freedom of a light pack and moving without a frame or hip belt.

Features

Dual shoulder pockets
Super stretchy and big enough to hold most smartphones, a day’s worth of snacks or a 700ml water bottle. The elastic is fixed and, owing to its clever design, does not need a tensioner.

Bottom pocket
Easy-access bottom pocket with trash port made with Dyneema stretch fabric.

Large front pocket
Made with Dyneema stretch fabric. Can hold 5L, not included in the total volume.

Side pockets
Two 2.5L forward-facing, deep and low side pockets made with 210D Robic Extreema. Each one is big enough to keep 2 x 1L Smartwater bottles steady, yet low enough to reach whilst the pack is worn.

Front zig-zag elastic
Removable and designed to be able to store a folded Z-rest or assist with air drying your clothes.

Side elastic with Lineloc
These are there to secure a pole or tent stakes when stored in the side pocket. If you are wanting to compress the bag, we recommend switching to a non-stretch cord.

Sternum Strap
Elasticated and height adjustable.

Trekking pole loop
Small, removable elastic toggle to connect walking poles or ice axe.

For all short adventures

This bag follows me everywhere. Trail. Bike. Skiing. Hiking... With the addition of a second belly strap it does not move. Durable and pleasant to wear. There are 2 things that I would still have liked: an attachment system under the bag and an attachment system for the water bags. Otherwise it's perfect :)

Perfect backpack for day hikes.

After years of using various other backpacks, none of which I was happy with. Finally bought the MO-50 for wildcamping, been so impressed by it I bought the Atom RE30 for day hikes, and 23 mountains in I’m equally as impressed with this.

Hiking 175 miles around Lake Tahoe in 7 days with The Atom RE30!

I had been eyeing the RE30 for some time and decide to pull the trigger right before my thru hike of the Tahoe Rim Trail. I typically use a SUL pack weighing around 8.5oz but needed something more substantial for the longer water carries and bear can needed on the TRT. In the Atom, I was able to fit about 4 days worth of food, a small bear can, 3 liters of water, a tarp, and everything else in my UL setup comfortably.

The Atom carried everything perfectly and I was very pleased with all of the little details on the pack. The bottom pocket and the shoulder pockets are awesome, the snap button and roll top system is great, and the pack feels sturdy enough to last for many years.

Very happy with my purchase and can't recommend it enough.

Wow! Love it

I have an original GoLite backpack, which has now been totally surpassed by my newly arrived Atom Pack. Congratulations on this cornucopia of well-loved features, all the way down to the mysterious chest buckle whistle. It addresses all the issues I had with my beloved GoLite and goes way beyond. Side pockets! Shoulder strap pockets! Dry bag closure! Thank you SOOOOO MUCH!!!

Awesome all round lightweight pack

I ordered the RE30 model as a potential replacement for my normal daypack (Arcteryx Aerios 15) with the intention of lightening up my load, increasing useable volume while also servicing wider needs as a general pack.

On opening the box I was immediately struck by its beauty (if a backpack can be such a thing). The mixture of the grid fabric, colour accents and black stretch front panel look absolutely epic in the flesh. On inspection of the pack I was blown away by the bombproof nature of the fabrics, stitching and general quality.

I found the capacity a touch too small for all of my overnight kit so I decided to give the RE40 a look. I got in touch with customer services and Rachel was very helpful and enabled me to have a look at the RE40 and return which one I didn’t want, which was pointless in the end as I kept both!

The harness system is good (although I do miss the slightly more accommodating harness on my Aerios 15 with its extra pockets and ability to fully store running style collapsible bottles). The side pockets are very accommodating and the front stretch pocket is my favourite new storage location, overall the entire ‘system’ just works.

My concluding thoughts are one for the hopes and dreams pile, but if Tom and the team ever ventured into the fast packing arena, the RE30 downsized to a 20-25 litre pack with a running vest style harness system would be tough to beat…I’d absolutely buy one…or if old habits are anything to go by, I’d perhaps buy two!
