PINNACLE OF ULTRALIGHT PACK DESIGN:
The updated Ultra 200X & UltraGrid Kakwa 40 boasts a larger front pocket (nearly 2x volume), drain holes, custom Durston Gear logo buckles, additional lash points, and a variety of small refinements to further improve durability. The Kakwa 40 design is informed by Dan’s thousands of miles of backpacking experience, resulting in best-in-class load carrying, usability, quality, and durability – all while weighing a mere 28 oz / 795 g (ULTRA™ 200X) to 29.6 oz / 841 g (UltraGrid) for a medium pack.

LOAD CARRYING AND COMFORT:
The Kakwa 40 uses an inverted U-shaped frame built of hollow aluminum that is a more efficient use of structural weight and provides a rigid core with both vertical and horizontal structure. This frame connects directly to the hipbelt for optimal load transfer and directly to the load lifters, which are rare on packs this light yet essential for shifting more of the weight off your shoulders. Carefully developed S-shaped shoulder straps contour around your upper body, while the hipbelt uses a dual strap design to cup your hips and has reverse pull leverage for easy tightening.

The result is a pack that comfortably and effectively manages loads up to 45 lbs, all while weighing just 28 oz / 795g (Medium / Ultra 200X) to 29.6 oz / 841g (Medium / UltraGrid).

CHALLENGE ULTRA™ 200X – THE ULTIMATE TEXTILE:
UltraGrid is a nylon-based pack fabric that features a ripstop grid of UHMWPE fibers for added durability and a waterproof PU coating. This fabric offers a smoother feel, a tighter weave, and a more affordable price point.

In a class of its own, ULTRA™ 200X represents a new paradigm in durability and weight. ULTRA™ 200X weave is constructed with an optimal blend of UHMWPE & high-tenacity polyester. The tight weave is laminated with an eco-friendly adhesive to their revolutionary Challenge RUV™ film. The result is a textile that is incredibly strong, lightweight, and waterproof to 200 psi. The updated "X" version incorporates a tougher inner film for added durability.

Simply using a tough fabric is not enough if the pack has weak points in the stitching or supporting materials. That's why the Kakwa 40 is fully double stitched with heavyweight thread, and features the same ULTRA™ material for heavy wear points like shoulder straps, hipbelt pockets, and sided pockets. The front pocket is composed of durable knit mesh that won’t stretch out.

EFFICIENT POCKETS:
Efficient access to your gear while on the move is a hallmark of good pack design – and the Kakwa 40 delivers. Collectively, the Kakwa’s suite of pockets is carefully thought out and refined to enable rapid and efficient access to everything you need on the move. Four types of pockets optimize on-the-go access to most essential items:

  • Hipbelt pockets with a generous shape easily accommodating snacks, sunscreen, or headlamps.
  • Dual top opening shoulder strap pockets provide an ideal spot for your phone, sunglasses, or bear spray.
  • QuickPocket provides an easily reached, concealed compartment in the side pocket for large items like hats, mitts, or large sized phones.
  • Mesh front pocket for largest items like jackets and even cookwear – Hike all day without opening your pack.
HIGH STANDARDS, WITHOUT EXCEPTION:
The Kakwa 40 is made in the epicenter of high-quality outdoor product manufacturing, home to factories that produce tents and packs for the top brands in the world. The factory that produces the Kakwa also produces some of its top competitors from well-known companies such as Arcteryx, maintaining the highest level of materials sourcing, construction techniques, and testing with all the packs it produces.

    Great cable
    With no other reviews I was a bit hesitant to buy this cable at first. I've seen so many other brands and sellers that sell cable that is half the gauge they claim. Or cable that is not totally copper and has tin or other poor metals in it. Especially at this low price I worried. I went ahead and bought some anyway though and figured I would chance it. For the amount of money I'd be saving it was worth it. If it wasn't as advertised I could just return it anyway. It arrived in a couple days. It is truly 1/0 AWG, and it is 100% copper. Strands packed dense but still flexible. Comes in a nice carry case. I crimped and soldered on some ends. Everything looks great and is working great. Would definitely recommend and would buy again.

    Great wire.
    Color: Black, Size: 15 feet
    The flexibility is wonderful to work with. I used the red and black for a car audio application and it was a perfect choice for bending and snaking through the engine compartment and interior of the car. I have some just sitting on a bench and it still hasn't corroded and it's at least 3 years old. The insulation is very supple and has a nice feel to it and it carried current no problem of course.
