Uses the included sleeping mat as the packs frame
The Vuno Lightweight Tramping Backpack keeps weight low while still carrying a full overnight kit. It uses a frameless design, so you rely on smart packing. Also, it includes a foam sleeping mat that can act as the pack frame. Because the mat sits against your back panel, the load feels steadier on the track. If you stay in serviced huts, you can leave the mat behind and pack your gear to create structure. As a result, you can trim weight for warm season trips and fast overnighters.
