Waymark

So there you go guys that is the waymark gear light 50 liter backpack. I have just thoroughly enjoyed my experience with this over the past. Several s...

A fanny pack.

Replaced my ditty bag with a waymark fanny pack and couldn't be happier. It's so nice in camp to just be able to carry all that stuff around with me instead of constantly going back to my tent to get something out of my ditty bag.

11/10 Would recommend. Also saw #ulcouplegoals with a waymark mile and a dcf burn so if ya’ll are on here, Hi!.

Tested out my new waymark MILE and hexamid w/ doors this weekend and loved it. Kind of funny how many people were surprised that I was doing an overnight with a pack smaller than many peoples daypacks.

Waymark also makes a great pack, I don’t think you could go wrong with the EVLV or the THRU. Gossamer Gear has awesome customer service, which is why I primarily use their shelters, but I’ve never tried their packs personally. Consider looking at a few other companies, AllMansRight makes some cool looking backpacks out of the Bronx with a 4-5 week lead time currently.

I love my Waymark EVLV 35L so much that I bought the new EVLV 38L in ultra! The load lifter feature is awesome imo and I can’t seem to find many other sub 40 liter packs with them.

From what I remember the Waymark Thru never seemed very competitive in terms of weight (but then neither is the Prophet these days!). I would 100% go for the Prophet out of those two - just for the carrying comfort!

Season/s of use: All. Expected temperatures: Possibly low 30s. Ideal weight of the item: < 2 pounds, but ultimately doesn't matter as long as it's comfortable and easy to pack while having a frame. Previous experience with ultralight gear: 1 year with Waymark Thru 40.

Waymark EVLV - Just kind of meh on this one and there's not many reviews/feedback. MLD BURN 38L - too much hipbelt for my use case. Z-Packs Nero - the shoulder straps don't look comfortable (I have the arc blast and I think they're the same).

i have a tall pocket on my waymark. it is great, my tent only takes up like half of it so i can put my sleeping pad and whatever else in it as well so i don’t have to take everything out before my tent and i can pack things in the order you suggested. it’s less chaotic.
