Loop 20L ultralight backpack is a frameless versatile pack.
Because of its capacity and features it’s perfect for day hikes or longer treks where you don’t have to carry a shelter and a sleep system; if you have a super ultralight minimal kit you can even use your Loop for a summer thru-hike.
Big enough for trail and week-end trips, small enough for commuting, office and urban adventures. The roll top design allows you to tweak the capacity depending on your needs.
Hand and made in Italy with the best materials to ensure durability and weather resistance.

Weather resistance:
Loop 20L ultralight backpack is highly water resistant but not waterproof.
Seams are bound and not taped, this means that under a rain storm the water can find a way inside the pack.
No problem with light rain and drizzle, however, if you expect heavy rain, use a pack liner to keep your content dry.
Fabric is coated with a C0 DWR (no fluorocarbons), this coating lets water sheds away and it may come off after an extended usage. The good news is that the fabric will dry very fast if gets wet.
Fabric:
Main fabric is Ecopak EPX200 by Challenge Sailcloth, the manufacturer says:
“ECOPAK™ is the world’s only durable and waterproof fabric made from 100% recycled polyester fiber and film. Each yard upcycles about 20 plastic water bottles into durable technical textiles.
Based on 35 years of weaving, coating and laminating experience, Challenge’s ECOPAK™ fabric lasts longer, absorbs 80% less moisture, and has better UV resistance and color retention than traditional laminated nylon. Just like our sailcloth that has been tested around the world, ECOPAK™ performs in the harshest conditions.”
This fabric has a perfect balance between weight and durability.
