Ultimate Direction Vest Backpack : FASTPACK 40

FASTPACK WHAT'S NEW
- Optimal weight to capacity for longer adventures over rugged terrain
- Improved vest-style storage up front with a dedicated phone pocket, multiple bottle pockets, and extra gear stash pockets.
- Versatile 'suitcase' style opening main compartment with full-length three-way zipper and roll-top closure, for easy access to everything inside, no matter the stored position.
- New backpanel system (removable) combines the Infiknit™ technology with FastFlow to increase breathability and moisture wicking.

The lightweight 40.0 litre capacity UD Fastpack 40 has an optimal weight-to-capacity ratio for longer adventures over rugged terrain so you can move fast in the backcountry. It uniquely fits like a vest with water bottles up front, but distributes weight like a pack. UD gave it an upgrade with Infiknit™ and FastFlow technology to increase the backpanel's breathability and moisture wicking. This do-it-all pack also has plenty of dedicated external storage, a roll-top opening and a full-side external zipper for easy to anything inside. Bottles are not included.

5 of 5 Great pack for higher volume loads August 4, 2024
Reviewer: David Whistance from Isle of Wight  
Thought I should give a brief update now that we have used these packs on the Alta Via 1 in the Dolomites. We stayed in mountain huts so didn't need to carry camping gear but did have waterproofs/insulating gear as the mountains can get cold and wet even in summer. We were both carrying between 7Kg and 10Kg including water depending on the length of each days walk. The packs were very comfortable and worked really well holding all our stuff easily. The roll top closure worked very well and we had no problems or wear despite the sharp rocks. The front strap mounted water bottles were excellent allowing easy and instant access as well as balancing up the packs a bit. My only (slight) criticism would be that the waist belt is not weight bearing being more for stability but then the pack is not really designed for carrying heavy loads. We are both really pleased with them and are looking forward to using them for many more trips.

5 of 5 Ultimate Direction Fastpack 40 June 24, 2024
Reviewer: David Whistance from Freshwater, ISLE OF WIGHT United Kingdom  
Well designed and made rucksack. The harness system, once properly adjusted, is very comfortable and the pockets on the harness straps are excellent. I wouldn't want to carry a heavy load in it but it's certainly fine with the 10kg or so we need for our next trek, probably more if you pack carefully.

5 of 5 Fastpack really snug October 11, 2022
Reviewer: Peter Brown from Uxbridge , Middlesex United Kingdom  
I went with the largest fastpack for hiking too.  Everything secured well and fit nice and snug during runs.  Lots of options upfront for storage.  Really a shame my mobile didn't fit into the ideal pocket for it, but the pocket didn't go to waste.  Glad for the purchase

Reviewer: Anonymous Person from Mainz a Rhein, Rheinland-Pfalz Germany  
Great product and delivery just on time. Wasn't aware of the tax money I had to pay for their import in the EU, that was a bummer... But really happy with the pack!
