I recently took the Outdoor 56L Ultralight Waterproof Hiking Backpack out to see if it could handle the rugged demands of a weekend trek. With its split-capacity design, this bag promises a lot of room without the typical weight penalty found in larger packs.
The construction centers on lightweight nylon, which strikes a decent balance between weight savings and weather resistance. While the material feels thin to keep the total weight at 850g, the waterproof properties are reliable for sudden rain showers on the trail.
Loading the pack is straightforward thanks to the generous 80cm height, allowing for organized packing of bulky items like sleeping bags. The unisex harness system is adjustable, though it may require some fine-tuning during your first outing to find a comfortable fit for longer hikes.
This bag is best suited for budget-conscious hikers and campers who prioritize a lightweight, high-capacity setup for multi-day excursions.
While the pack offers plenty of room, it currently holds a 0/5 rating as I continue to evaluate how the stitching holds up under maximum capacity. At $129.00, it presents an interesting option for those looking to shed weight, provided you don't overpack the nylon chassis.
