I'm Peter Backwin, and I've been testing the Ultimate Direction FastPak 30 for the last couple of months. The pack worked amazingly well.

Ultimate Direction FastPack 40 Review

So the thing that I like about this pack is it's super light and has a ton of different places to store things.

so, i have an Ultimate Direction Fastpackher 30, and it pisses me the fuck off!! it is honestly mostly fine for my purposes, but like a lot of women's packs, it's actually designed for a tiny man. i have a small frame, and i don't have that much boobs, but the regular amount for a 40 year old woman, i think, lol, and the stabilizing strap is either up too high to be useful or pushes them up to my chin. i'm somewhat handy with sewing, so i'm thinking of adding shock cord and taking off the straps to make it more like my salomon vest.

You need to be built like a runner for this to fit.

Disclaimer: I am not a runner! I purchased this item for long distance ultralight hiking. I returned the item because it is built for runners, very skinny people. I do work out 3-5 times a week but I am not huge and this pack was too small for me (yes I ordered the m/l which is listed as medium on A...

I use an older model Ultimate Direction Fastpack 30…if running vest style packs fit your frame, they’re worth a look. The pack can cinch and roll down a good bit if you don’t need the extra space. Personally, I find it quite comfortable for carrying my ultralight kit…I don’t have the smallest and lightest, but it does fine with my ~10lb base weight.

A super lightweight 30 L pack

I have used an Ultimate Direction PB Adventure Vest 2.0 for the past year and it is my favorite pack for three of the four seasons. For winter (and alpine) multi-day trips, I needed a bigger pack for the layers of extra clothing and my thermos, and this is where the UD Fastpack 30 came into play. I ...

Running pack for run-commute

I'd recommend Ultimate Direction Fastpack 15 which is designed specifically for commuting.

But it wouldn't work as well for longer ultra races.

Very comfortable for the light weight, holds enough for a mountain lightweight overnight.

I was pleasantly surprised at just how comfortable this was to carry when fully loaded for an overnight high-elevation backpack in the mountains, without any hip belt, much padding, or a real frame. Like a reviewer below, I have large shoulders and chest (42 suit jacket and 32 inch waist), and so th...
