Ultimate Direction Fastpackher 20 2.0 Womens Vest Backpack

• Women's-specific design: Harness sizing, shaping and weight distribution are designed specifically for women.
• 23 litre capacity: Provides space for additional clothing, food, mandatory kit and multi-day equipment while retaining vest-style access at the front.
• Front hydration pockets: Two upper pockets with bungee compression accept 500ml Body Bottle 500 and Body Bottle 500 S soft flasks. Soft flasks are not included.
• Additional front storage: Four stretch-mesh open-top pockets keep food, hat, gloves and other frequently used equipment within reach.
• Full-side zip access: Opens deep into the main compartment so equipment can be reached without unpacking everything through the top.
• Roll-top closure: Expands or compresses around changing loads and secures the top of the main compartment.
• Infiknit and FastFlow back panel: Seamless harness construction combines with a breathable back-panel system to improve airflow and moisture management.
• Side bottle storage: Two large side pockets can carry clothing, equipment or larger bottles up to 750ml.
• External stretch storage: Large full-length rear stretch-mesh storage keeps additional clothing and frequently needed equipment outside the main compartment.
• 3 litre reservoir compatible: Dedicated rear hydration compartment accommodates a reservoir up to 3 litres. Reservoir not included.
• Sliding sternum adjustment: Rail-mounted sternum straps allow quick adjustment across the chest.
• Removable T-hook waistbelt: Height-adjustable belt provides additional support with heavier loads and can be removed when unnecessary.
• Side fit adjustment: Rib-area straps allow the pack to be adjusted around the runner and changing loads.
• Trekking-pole carry: Dedicated holders secure folding poles and move out of the way when not being used.
• Internal secure pocket: Large water-resistant zipped pocket separates phone, keys, wallet and other valuables from the main load.
• Daisy chains: External attachment points provide additional options for securing equipment.
• Ice-axe loops: Provide external attachment for an ice axe when required.
• Safety whistle: Integrated into the front harness.
• Reflective detailing: Adds visibility in low light.

The FastpackHer uses a women's-specific harness rather than simply being a smaller version of the unisex Fastpack. Its shaping and adjustment should therefore be considered alongside the size measurements when choosing between the two models.

The size ranges overlap considerably. Sliding sternum straps, side/rib adjustment and the removable height-adjustable waistbelt allow the fit to be adjusted around both the runner and the load.

If you are deciding how much carrying capacity you need, see our Running Backpacks, Race Vests & Hydration Packs Guide. When choosing specifically between the FastpackHer 20 2.0 and Fastpack 20, their capacities are very similar, but the harness fit and front pocket arrangements differ.
