Ultralight Comfort for Multi-Day Adventures
The Big Agnes Sweetwater UL 60L Backpack is designed for multi-day treks, offering an efficient, ergonomic design that prioritizes fit. Its integrated frame system ensures even large loads remain snug across the chest, back, and shoulders, transferring weight directly into the frame sheet, through the lumbar, and down to the articulated hip belt.
Innovative Load Transfer System
Featuring the Load Wrangler Plus fit system, this backpack uses an integrated frame with body-mapped and ventilated foam padding, along with a cored aluminum perimeter frame, to provide structure for a stable carry. Broad, breathable mesh shoulder straps and dual sternum straps, inspired by trail running vests, keep the pack snug and disperse the load evenly across the shoulders.
Durable and Functional Design
Constructed with a 70D nylon shell, 210D nylon abrasion panels, and a 40D nylon lining, the Sweetwater UL 60L is built to withstand the rigors of the trail. Its top-loading main compartment, with an expanding spindrift collar, offers extra capacity when needed, while the ventilated back panel with body-mapped foam padding ensures a stable and comfortable carry.
