Engineered for demanding expeditions, the Thunder 70 is the ideal 70-liter backpack for trekking and extended backpacking trips. It balances a lightweight construction of just 1,630 grams with a robust 24-kilogram load limit, capable of carrying gear for unsupported week-long adventures or winter mountaineering. The pack’s ergonomic hip belt with Scherer cinch and well-ventilated back panel ensures all-day comfort during strenuous ascents on high passes. Its durable, water-repellent 210D Dyneema ripstop nylon fabric and multiple external attachment points make it a top choice for technical alpine ascents and expedition backpacking.

Key Features

Suspension System: Adjustable T-Rex frame with a single 6061-T6 aluminum center stay.
Access: Three access points to main compartment: top-loading with drawstring, U-shaped dual-zipper front panel, and individual side zippers.
Pockets & Storage: Includes a large stretch front pocket, two large stretch side pockets, two spacious stretch hipbelt pockets, and a floating lid with inner and outer pockets.
External Attachment: Features two daisy chains on the front, dual ice axe loops with elastic shaft holders, and extendable side compression straps with aluminum hooks.
Fabric: Main body made from 210-denier, PU-coated, Dyneema ripstop nylon with a water-repellent treatment.
Fit Adjustments: Adjustable torso length (41-58 cm) and hipbelt range (84-138 cm).
Hydration: Hydration sleeve and port compatible.

Key Points

Superior Load Transfer: The minimalist single aluminum stay is anchored directly to the hip belt, creating exceptional load transfer to the hips. Reviewers note it carries heavy loads (35-40 lbs / 16-18 kg) with remarkable comfort and stability, outperforming many bulkier frames.
Unmatched Packing Flexibility: The combination of top, full-front, and independent side zipper access provides a level of convenience and organization rare in trekking packs, allowing retrieval of any item without unpacking everything.
Thoughtful, Functional Design: Features like compression straps that thread behind side pockets, a Scherer cinch on the hip belt for a mechanical tightening advantage, and adjustable load lifter angles reflect meticulous attention to user experience.
Durable and Repairable Construction: Built with robust 210D Dyneema nylon and features like aluminum hook anchors (instead of plastic buckles) for critical straps, promoting longevity and field repairability.
