Lets’ face it, every mother has a favorite child – ours is the Circuit. Weighing in at just over two pounds, we don’t think there’s a pack out there that can compare to the load carrying capabilities, comfort, and durability of the Circuit pack. If you have your total pack weight down around 30 pounds and want to feel the freedom of traveling light, this is the pack for you.
The Circuit pack utilizes a 1.2 oz carbon fiber and Delrin suspension hoop in conjunction with a dense internal foam frame and a single aluminum stay to give you excellent back panel support, maximum load control, weight transfer, and pack rigidity without limiting your range of movement.
Combination ice axe/trekking pole loops come standard; the weather is unpredictable, and we believe your pack should be able to adapt as fast as you can. Low-profile loops at the top and bottom of these packs accommodate removable top and bottom straps. Choose between a sngle top strap, or a Y-strap. Optionally, you can add an ultra-light bottom strap kit and be able to instantly add the capacity to strap larger items (tent, food storage, or sleeping pads) to the bottom of your pack as your gear needs change. UltraStretch™ meshfront pocket is durable and abrasion resistant.
There's a reason the Circuit has been the most popular pack on the Pacific Crest Trail for the past 4 years according to the Halfway Anywhere annual survey of PCT thru hikers!
Note: The Black packs do not include a Y-style top compression strap.
Note: Unlike ULA's website which includes both a "J" and "S" shoulder strap option, the Circuits ranged in Ultralight Gear only feature "J" style shoulder straps. These are not interchangeable, unlike the hipbelts which are and are not sewn in.
TIP: If you are on the outer edge of a hipbelt size, order the larger size. [ Ex: If you are 38", you will notice 38" is the last number of the Medium Hipbelt and the first number of the Large Hipbelt. You would want to order a Large.]
TIP: If you're between torso 2 sizes, order the smaller size.
