Enter for a Chance to WIN a Free KS Ultralight Gear Alpisack Backpack

The Alpisack without the optional top lid, packed at maximum capacity.

The KS Ultralight Alpisack is a 50L frameless ultralight backpack weighing 21 oz (18.5 oz w/o optional components), that's suitable for 4 season use. Being frameless, it can't carry much more than 25 pounds of gear and consumables, but it's well outfitted for ultralight backpacking in semi-alpine environments, with plenty of external attachment points to carry traction aids and ice axes.

KS Ultralight Gear is a Japanese cottage backpack maker that sells a wide range of frameless ultralight backpacks. The backpack being raffled is their standard Alpisack with a 210d Dyneema Gridstop body and 500d Cordura base, front, and back. It has two side water bottle pockets, two tiers of side compression straps, an optional top lid, and optional hip belt pocket. For complete specs and more photos of the backpack, see my KS Ultralight Alpisack review from December 2017. This is a sweet ultralight backpack that carries very much like a frameless Mountain Laurel Design's Exodus or ULA CDT backpack.
