#111 - Is the Hyperlite Windrider 40L REALLY Worth the Hype?

from The Peanut Butter and Mountains Podcast · host Chad Lubinski

In this video, I provide a one-year review of the Hyperlite Windrider 40 backpack, detailing my experiences on various treks, including the 100-mile Wonderland Trail and climbing trips in Colorado. I cover the pros, such as its lightweight design, see-through mesh for easy access, and efficient storage options. I also discuss its cons, including the high-position sternum strap, lack of load-bearing straps, non-removable hip belt, and price point. Additionally, I offer an alternative recommendation: the ULA Circuit, highlighting its suitability for larger capacities and winter camping.
