The DEAN 55L - Ready-to-Go Backpacking Bundle
Near Zero announces the release of its newest overnight hiking backpack, THE DEAN 55L. The first of its kind, its patent-pending design delivers quick and easy access to gear using a labeled and compartmentalized storage system to maximize comfort and weight distribution. THE DEAN takes the guesswork out of backpacking, allowing novice and experienced outdoor enthusiasts alike to “Get Out & Go.”
Weighing in at only 3.6 pounds, THE DEAN 55L is the ultimate backpacker’s pack for weekend getaways. Its unique features make overnight camping accessible to anyone, despite skill level. Labeled section panels guide where to load gear, assisting the backpacker in optimizing proper weight distribution, comfort, and stability. Heavy items are centered and loaded next to the back. Medium weight gear is carried towards the top and outside portions of the pack, and lightweight gear is loaded on the bottom and centered. Mesh pockets are included on the inside of the zippered front panel for storage of lightweight food items and utensils. The large front access panel allows you to see contents at a glance and get to gear with ease. No longer will backpackers have the frustration of stuffing all their gear down a hole from the top and trying to get to it later.
THE DEAN is constructed with waterproof, ripstop nylon materials, an internal aluminum back frame support, and a breathable mesh back panel system. The pack will be bundled with fully customizable options that include items such as tent, sleeping bag, inflatable pillow, and more.
