$52 - Kelty Mirage 1850 Backpack
Kelty was one of the first pack companies to attempt an ultralight backpack about 10 years ago. Their experience shoes in this Mirage 1850 backpack, the Dyneema threads make the fabric stringer and tougher, but help keep the pack weight to just 2 pounds. Only 2 pounds is great for a serious weekend/overnight-sized pack with a fully padded harness, molded hipbelt, and backpanel.
It’s even better that the pack is on clearance for just $52 at Sierra Trading Post. Perfect timing too, since with it’s narrow profile and shovel pocket it will also make a good backcountry skiing pack.
