Flight 30 Ultra Backpack Organization

With the Flight 30 Ultra, we’ve stripped away all the useless frills and given you a pack with the right features to get the job done.

Sits high above the waist so as not to interfere with the natural movement of your hips.Vest harness keeps the pack close and secure. No more bouncing and swaying.

Option to add UL hip belt for even more stability. Highly adjustable so you can easily dial in your perfect fit. Lean design means no hang ups when negotiating cross country through narrow trails and brush. Stays with you no matter how fast you change direction.

Flight 30 Ultra Backpack Materials

Pack Organization

The Flight Ultra is a 30L daypack – or multi-day pack if you’re into going super ultralight. Unlike the Flight UL, the Flight Ultra has a new large capacity bottom pocket made of woven nylon, making it even easier to stash and access items on the go efficient, small volume pack.

There are also 3 pockets on each side of the vest, large stretch pockets on both sides on the front of the pack, daisy chain webbing, and a bungee stasher.

Everything you need is within easy reach. With so much convenient storage, you won’t have to shed your pack until you’re ready to make camp.

Materials

The Flight Ultra comes in two fabric options - Robic™ nylon or our new EPX200 fabric. EPX200 is a robust fabric by Challenge Sailcloth. It is made using 3 layers of 210 denier fabric making it not only waterproof but very abrasion-resistant. While EPX200 is waterproof the packs themselves are not water tight. We recommend using a 50L Pack Liner.

Flight 30 Review

I've had the Flight 30 for about a month and I am impressed with it so far. The primary reason for this purchase was to use it trail running/overnight camping and fastpacking. I have about four trail runs with it so far totaling about 30 miles. The pack is comfortable while running without any significant bounce. It will easily fit a one-person UL tent, quilt, pad, stove, food and other items needed for a UL 2-3 night trip. I did add some shock cord to the bottom of the vest harness and the hip belt to stow my poles. Great pack so far.

Excellent for a day or overnight

This is the answer to one pack does it all for warmer weather. So far I've done a two night hammock setup backpacking trip and two day hikes. This pack worked great for both. Love the pockets on the belt and shoulder straps. Dog loved how quickly I could get out his water and bowl. Carried my light weight summer setup easily and comfortable.

Solid with few exceptions

First, why did I buy this one: The six-point attachment of the flight harness seems quite unique and allows keeping the weight as close to your core as possible.

I've only tested it for a 10km run so far, but look forward to doing a 2-week fastpacking trip (with frequent food resupplies).

Room for improvement: The cinch cord attachment points on the back seems a bit flimsy when you really try to compress the contents.
The straps are too long for me (I've shortened them).
Some materials could potentially be replaced with dyneema and I would suspect there's some room to reduce the amount of material used on the harness and hip belt in favor of reducing weight.

Highly recommended

Purchased this pack for future multi day fastpacking trips. Holds everything I need. Even fits my large bear resistant food canister should be required to carry it. I love the adjustability features so pack fits comfortably and securely whether completely full or nearly empty. I can run at good speed minimal bounce or sway. I did a ten mile test run with 3000 ft elevation gain and 15 pounds load and loved the performance.

DISSAPOINTED

purchased because wanted option of vest style straps. unfortunately it is extremely uncomfortable and wouldnt recommend if you have any type of chest volume. Also uncomfortably sitting on lumbar region. My back was sore only hiking for 12 miles.
