Hyperlite Mountain Gear Southwest 55

Ultralight backpack for multi-day hikes and long-distance trails from the legendary brand Hyperlite Mountain Gear. The Southwest is our preferred backpack for traveling along densely forested trails in the harshest climatic conditions. HMG relies on a simple, proven design and the best materials. The backpack is constructed from super durable, lightweight, and waterproof Dyneema® material. The black version uses an even more durable but slightly heavier material – DCH150.

Product descriptionTechnical specificationsRelated productsSimilar products

The most durable backpack from HMG for multi-day hikes and long-distance trails for true ultralight and thru-hiking enthusiasts.

Durable backpack for trekking

The Southwest backpack with a volume of 55 liters offers a wide range of options and uses. Thanks to the roll-top closure and two compression straps on each side of the backpack, you can easily reduce or increase the volume as needed. When you don't need the extra volume, you can roll the roll-top closure down enough to make the volume resemble that of a smaller backpack Junction 40.

The Southwest 55 backpack is best suited for treks characterized by dry environments, rocky and stony surfaces, and overgrown trails with dense vegetation. It finds its use in demanding weekend hikes, multi-day mountain crossings, and long-distance trails.

Backpacks from Hyperlite Mountain Gear are among the most used on long-distance trails in the USA, such as the Pacific Crest Trail and Continental Divide Trail, which, in our opinion, speaks for something. (This information is based on annual surveys on the halfwayanywhere.com blog.)

Dyneema

Materials

Dyneema® fiber is a revolutionary material not only in the outdoor industry. With its remarkable strength-to-weight ratio, it is the strongest fiber in the world. Dyneema® fibers are 15x stronger than high-quality steel, lightweight, abrasion-resistant, waterproof, and resistant to UV radiation and chemicals.

The HMG Southwest backpack (available in both white and black) is constructed from hybrid composite Dyneema® fabrics—DCH150 (170 g/m2), which is created by merging and laminating additional layers with Dyneema® fibers. This material excels in high abrasion resistance, exceptional strength, excellent rip-stop properties, and impermeability to moisture.

Although the material itself is 100% waterproof, stitching creates tiny perforations. While most (more than 90%) seams in the backpack are taped, it cannot be considered completely waterproof. For full protection against water and moisture, we recommend using the backpack with waterproof dry bags.
