PINNACLE OF ULTRALIGHT PACK DESIGN:

Introducing the newest release from Durston Gear: Kakwa 40. The design is informed by Dan’s thousands of miles of backpacking experience, resulting in best-in-class load carrying, usability, quality, and durability – all while weighing a mere 28oz / 800g. Constructed from Challenge ULTRA™ 200 or UltraGrid fabrics.

LOAD CARRYING AND COMFORT:

The Kakwa 40 uses an inverted U-shaped frame built of hollow aluminum that is a more efficient use of structural weight and provides a rigid core with both vertical and horizontal structure. This frame connects directly to the hipbelt for optimal load transfer and directly to the load lifters, which are rare on packs this light yet essential for shifting more of the weight off your shoulders. Carefully developed S-shaped shoulder straps contour around your upper body, while the hipbelt uses a dual strap design to cup your hips and has reverse pull leverage for easy tightening.

The result is a pack that comfortably and effectively manages loads up to 45 lbs, all while weighing just 27.8 oz (Medium Size).

CHALLENGE ULTRA™ 200 – THE ULTIMATE TEXTILE:

In a class of its own, ULTRA™ represents a new paradigm in durability and weight. ULTRA™ weave is constructed with an optimal blend of UHMWPE & high-tenacity polyester. The tight weave is laminated with an eco-friendly adhesive to their revolutionary Challenge RUV™ film. The result is a textile that is incredibly strong, lightweight, and waterproof to 200 psi.

Simply using a tough fabric is not enough if the pack has weak points in the stitching or supporting materials. That’s why the Kakwa 40 is fully double stitched with heavyweight thread, and features the same ULTRA™ 200 material for heavy wear points like shoulder straps, hipbelt pockets, and sided pockets. The front pocket is composed of durable knit mesh that won’t stretch out.

EFFICIENT POCKETS:

Efficient access to your gear while on the move is a hallmark of good pack design – and the Kakwa 40 delivers. Collectively, the Kakwa’s suite of pockets is carefully thought out and refined to enable rapid and efficient access to everything you need on the move. Four types of pockets optimize on-the-go access to most essential items:

Hipbelt pockets with a generous shape easily accommodating snacks, sunscreen, or headlamps. Dual top opening shoulder strap pockets provide an ideal spot for your phone, sunglasses, or bear spray. QuickPocket provides an easily reached, concealed compartment in the side pocket for large items like hats, mitts, or large sized phones. Mesh front pocket for largest items like jackets and even cookwear – Hike all day without opening your pack.

HIGH STANDARDS, WITHOUT EXCEPTION:

The Kakwa 40 is made in the epicenter of high-quality outdoor product manufacturing, home to factories that produce tents and packs for the top brands in the world. The factory that produces the Kakwa also produces some of its top competitors from well-known companies such as Arcteryx, maintaining the highest level of materials sourcing, construction techniques, and testing with all the packs it produces.
