The Atom

Aimed squarely at the ultralight hiker, the Atom gives you easy access to everything you need to keep hiking all day long using the five pockets that are easily accessible when worn.

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.

Weight from 408g / 14.4oz (size M)

Load capacity 9kg / 20lbs max

Features

Packing Space

Main Pack body
The main body of the pack is completely open, yours to fill as you wish. It is secured with a roll top closure that can be secured vertically for added compression or dry bag style.

Large front pocket
The front pocket can be sewn in either Dyneema Stretch material or Bullet Net, both offer capacious storage. The Dyneema Stretch is better for a cleaner aesthetic and off trail bushwacks (doesn't snag easily) and the Bullet net is better for packing wet gear and improved visibility of items but can snag when bushwacking. The bullet net option will increase the measurable volume of your bag by 5L.

Side pockets
Each pocket can hold 2.5L and are perfectly shaped to carry 2 x 1L smart water style bottles with ease. You can use the elastic drawcord to secure these items whilst walking and, should the elastic ever break or wear out, we have designed it to be easily replaceable.

Load Carrying

S-shaped shoulder straps
Sewn using 10mm foam, durable 210d Robic Extreema face fabric and breathable, soft 3mm spacer mesh.

Sternum strap
Elasticated and height adjustable.

That's it. This pack is for serious UL users only.

Customise

Shoulder pockets:
Super stretchy and big enough to hold even the biggest smartphones, a day’s worth of snacks or a 700ml water bottle. We offer these in sewn in or removable options. 

Our preferred choice is for sewn in as standard

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

Side Compression options:

  • Elastic: These are there to secure a trekking pole or tent poles when stored in the side pocket, also a handy place to dry socks
  • Webbing: If you are carrying anything heavy in the side pocket, these are a slightly stronger option than elastic and have much greater compression strength

Ice Axe loop
Sewn-in loop to easily connect an ice axe or walking poles.

The Atom

Made for Movement

Aimed squarely at the ultralight hiker, The Atom gives you easy access to everything you need to keep hiking all day long.

Built with

EcoPak EPX200

Durable and lightweight, EPX200 is a recycled 200 denier face fabric with eco DWR finish, blue 45 degree cross ply and white recycled 70 denier backing fabric. 

The EPX200 is our choice for The Atom+ due to its eco credentials, waterproof qualities, light weight and added durability.

Not too shabby on the eye either.

Good to know

Can it fit a Bear Can?

Most bear cans will not fit inside our EP30 packs, but you can rig it on top using the top strap.

For larger packs (EP40 and above) a BV450 will fit with the base to your back or a BV500 will fit vertically with a little room at the side for a stuffsack.
