Today it was drizzling, and I went hiking at the beach with the latest ultra lightweight backpack from Archaeopteryx. I carried two cameras, a tripod, a stabilizer, a drone, as well as warm clothes and water.
After a few hours, I felt quite comfortable carrying it, dispelling my doubts about the poor carrying capacity of ultra lightweight backpacks.
📸 As a creator who loves mountain photography, I have been searching for a lightweight and practical backpack that allows me to carry more photography equipment up the mountain for shooting
Arc'teryx's newly launched Alpha SL 30 backpack weighs only 444g, which may be the "dream love bag" I have been dreaming of.
At this point, the HMG backpack made of ultra lightweight and waterproof Dyneema fabric has added another strong competitor~
✅ Tested highlights:
🪶 Ultra lightweight design: The entire package weighs only about 444g, reducing the burden and allowing me to carry more photography equipment such as cameras, lenses, tripods, etc.
💧 High strength waterproof fabric: made of ALUULA Graflyte ™ The material not only feels soft and flexible, but also refreshes my understanding of lightweight backpacks with its performance of "strength to weight ratio eight times that of steel". This fabric also has excellent waterproof performance, which can protect internal equipment even in humid environments.
🎒 Comfortable carrying system: The hard back panel and shoulder strap design provide good support and comfort, and long-term carrying will not feel tired.
🧗 Multi functional suspension system: I have shown various suspensions in the picture, which have a reasonable suspension design and are convenient for carrying external devices such as tripods and hiking poles.
The design of the Archaeopteryx backpack and ALUULA fabric are both from British Columbia, Canada, and produced in Vietnam~
The adhesive process of the backpack is basically not a big problem, and it is waterproof from both the side and the outside~
But the sealing design has become its biggest regret!!! Why not adopt the sealing waterproof design of HMG backpack??
Perhaps this is the reason why this backpack dare not write 'waterproof', only claiming 'Water resistant'
⚠️ Roast points~~~Little regret in testing:
🌧️ Sealing design: The simple sealing of the drawstring may pose a risk of water leakage in heavy rain, and extra attention should be paid to protection.
💦 Waterproof outer pocket: The zipper of the outer pocket has gaps, which may cause water to seep in during rainy days.
🧼 White fabric is easy to get dirty: Although pure white fabric is beautiful, it is easy to get dirty when used outdoors and is difficult to clean.
🔖 Logo durability: Printed logos may experience wear and tear or detachment after prolonged use.
🔖 Super hard to buy: This bag has become the out of stock king on the Canadian official website as soon as it was launched. I found it in stock at around 4pm on May 13th and immediately bought it, but unexpectedly it became out of stock by the evening. I don't understand who is stealing this burlap bag
