No zips, no drama
Ultralight rucksacks aren’t generally known for being the most robust, comfortable or functional packs to carry. After all, when you’re trimming weight, something’s gotta give, right? Problem is, if that something is a frail zipper that decides to break in the backcountry, spilling your precious kit all over the trail, you’re in trouble. Recognising this, Sierra Designs has built the Nexus Lite, which boasts a unique zipperless construction to eliminate common gear malfunctions while also providing faster, hassle-free access to your stuff. Meanwhile, removable top and front panels (including a genius garment bag) give you 15 litres of expanding capacity, plus the versatility to make impromptu side trips and mini missions along the way. And when it comes to adjustable comfort, the innovative Y-Flex suspension redistributes weight from shoulders to hips to make for easier miles, day after day.

Maybe it’s no wonder that the state of California has been the cradle for so many great American outdoor brands. Sandwiched between the Pacific Ocean and the Sierra Nevada mountains, and encompassing no less than nine US National Parks, the Golden State has long been a mecca for outdoor adventurers of every ilk. Sierra Designs is a case in point. California was the natural place for the brand’s co-founders, a pair of young outdoor aficionados named George Marks and Bob Swanson, to set up shop.
They first met in late 1963 at while working at The Ski Hut in Berkeley, CA. Two years later, Sierra Designs was born. Today, the brand continues to create outdoor equipment and apparel that is functional, beautiful, and most importantly, attainable, enabling outdoor lovers throughout the USA and beyond to hit the trail and fill their souls with a sense of wanderlust.
