Ultralight Adventure Equipment CDT 52.5 Litre Rucksack

The CDT continues to be a proven suitable for thru-hikes dayhikes and any distance backcountry forays. Contoured shoulder straps and a re-designed hipbelt result in a comfortable carry while (5) external pockets aid in easily accessed on-trail organization.

Bottom Line? A comfortable durable highly functional pack.

If your gear base weight is already down to 20lbs or so then the CDT could be your next pack - even though its tough the low weight is amazing. It can be reduced further by permanently removing features which some will want to do. Personally I don`t like taking a knife to a new pack but I`d certainly ditch the internal sleeve and padded backpanel to save 74g.

The CDT is what ultralighters crave - a very simple sack with practical compartments.
