Dyneema’s New Fiber Composite Is Lighter, Stronger, and More Durable Than Ever

Hyperlite Mountain Gear and Dyneema collaborate on lighter, more durable hiking backpacks, which lets you put even more Dyneema on your Dyneema.

If you went back in time 150 years and told people that in the future they will carry everything they need to live for a week on their backs, you'd get run out of town. Carrying gear is the job of horses and mules, not people! Fast forward to the present, though, and here we are, schlepping into the backcountry with the essentials on our back. Progress!
