Weighing just 589 g, the Arc Haul Ultra 50 backpack significantly reduces the total load on your back, which is essential for outdoor adventures such as hiking where every gram counts. This is the Medium (torso) / Medium (waist) size.
Its 50-liter capacity offers ample space for all your essentials: sleeping bag, change of clothes, food, water, etc. It features a 37-liter main pocket with roll-up closure. A central mesh pocket at the front of the bag has a volume of 8 L.
Finally, two 2.5 L side pockets complete the backpack.
In terms of materials, the body of the bag is made of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene, often abbreviated to UHMWPE, laminated to a waterproof backing. This provides excellent abrasion resistance, as well as being extremely lightweight. The shoulder straps are made of 180 g/m² mesh, as is the central pocket (119 g/m²).
Finally, the frame is made of carbon fiber. As a result, the frame is stable, durable and efficiently transmits the load to the hips, while remaining lightweight.
The Zpacks Arc Haul Ultra 50L backpack offers the following features:
- A stretched back to allow air to circulate between the back and the backpack
- Adjustable back and adjustable straps
- 2-year warranty against defects in materials and workmanship

Compliant shipment by lyophilisé.fr, everything went smoothly. However, some of the criticisms of zpacks are well-founded: having to get out the needle and thread because the seams are badly done is a bit embarrassing for such an expensive bag. Otherwise, it's light and easy to organize. (Translated review)
