**This backpack has been replaced by our newer Arc Haul Ultra. It has a similar design but is constructed with a more durable Ultra material and features a back panel with Lycra for a more comfortable fit.

Designed to hike along mountain trails, scale steep ascents, and weather those Appalachian rain storms, the ultralight Arc Blast is perfectly suited for the demands of long distance hiking.

Comfortably transfer your pack’s weight to your hips with our patented ‘Arc Frame’ system.  The frame also creates a gap between your back and the pack allowing for air flow that helps keeps you cool.

Featuring adjustable shoulder straps, an interchangeable belt, and a variety of optional modular add-ons, the award-winning Arc Blast will allow you to tackle those long days on the trail with a durable ultralight backpack designed to fit you.
