The Pa'lante Desert Pack was designed for longer, heavier hauls. It has more internal volume than the v2 to accommodate for longer hikes and shoulder season conditions, perfect for normal thru-hikes. The adjustable side pockets are roomier and easily fit two water bottles. It includes a stashable hipbelt, designated stake pocket, and stretchy bottom and shoulder strap pockets.

Pack Fabrics
- ultra weave- the 200d and 400d variations of ultra weave consist of a 60% uhmwpe/ 40% polyester woven face laminated (heated/glued) to a recycled polyester film. this material is inherently waterproof due to it being laminated to a film backing. the high percentage of uhmwpe on the outer face makes it highly abrasion resistant.
- 210d uhmwpe gridstop- 92% nylon/ 8% uhmwpe ripstop. dwr finish on outer and pu coating inside. gridstop holds up well to long term use because of its ability to slightly stretch which spreads loads in high stress areas. gridstop is very water resistant but not waterproof.
- uhmwpe grid mesh- 66% nylon/21% uhmwpe/ 13% spandex blend. this mesh is extremely durable and stretches a good amount.
- durable stretch woven- 88% nylon 12% spandex with a dwr finish. 4 way stretch.
- grid fleece- 100% polyester knit w/ grid pattern.
- robic nylon- 100% nylon. dwr finish on outer and pu coating inside. this nylon uses a high tenacity yarn that is more resistant to abrasion than standard nylon.
