Backpacks

Not sure which pack? Here's how we'd choose:

• Mountain runs and big days: the Shrike, about 6.5L to 24L. It sits higher on the back, with extra pocket space up front.
• Fastpacking and overnights: the Sassafras, about 4L to 30L. It has room for a light overnight kit and still cinches down to vest size.
• Dial it in: add hip belts, stabilizers, and straps from Sassafras accessories or Shrike accessories.

Both packs collapse to vest size and expand when you need more. We sew them in our Montana workshop in limited runs a few times a year.
