A packable frame backpack
The Beast28 is an ultralight frame pack engineered for technical outdoor pursuits. A flexible frame suspension system provides support while packing down small for travel. This fully-featured alpine pack is built from Robic® fabric and reinforced with a UTS coating for weatherproofing and durability.
The pack is equipped with everything you need to take on your pursuit, including hydration compatibility, gear loops for alpine tools and hiking poles, and daisy chains for additional external storage. Ultralight at just 680 g, the Beast28 is prepared to help you fight gravity without excess weight. Built from industry-leading Robic® nylon and best-in-class YKK® hardware, the Beast28 is designed for long-lasting durability you can depend on.
The flexible frame suspension system distributes your pack evenly from shoulders to hips, while the waist and sternum strap offer a customized fit to your body and support for heavy loads.

An internal hydration sleeve accommodates most 1-3 liter reservoirs, with hose routing features on both shoulder straps for a customized fit.

Excellent lightweight yet sturdy packable daypack
Awesome backpack. It can be used as a regular daypack for all your hiking needs. I especially like the fact that it offers good shoulder support for such a lightweight pack. The walking pole straps are also a very welcome sight. But the absolute killer feature is the fact that the pack can be folded and compressed to a small form factor. This makes it an extremely handy backpack to take with you during day trips when you want to leave your bigger pack at your holiday home. The waterproofing is okay, but not excellent. I would suggest buying a raincover if you need extra protection. Yet the pack itself is unique in its segment despite this minor fault. I highly recommend it if you want a packable daypack.

Good but not great
Pros:
- Pleasant to carry
- good organization and thoughtful layout
- lightweight
- removable hipbelt
Cons:
- not waterproof at all
I took it on day hikes in the alps with light rain/snow and after 2 hours it ended with a small puddle at the bottom of the main pocket. Don't keep your down jacket in there! Good thing I was using dry bags for my stuff.
So this is not quite an alpine backpack for me. Good for day hikes and everyday carry (as long as you don't need to carry a laptop as it won't fit in the inner sleeve). I wish it was waterproof, had an extra strap to carry skis or other equipment, and that the hydration pocket would also work to fit a 15" laptop with sleeve.
Not perfect, still a pleasant backpack overall.
