Key Features

Lightweight Design

Constructed with a high-strength nylon blend, the OnePro Ultralight 20L backpack weighs approximately 1.3 kg (2.87 lbs), offering significant weight reduction for comfortable long-duration wear.

The backpack features splash-resistant, lightweight, and durable fabric, ideal for outdoor use.

Professional Carrying System

The 20L model utilizes an AirFoam metallic frame, effectively distributing weight and reducing shoulder pressure. The suspended back panel provides support and enhanced breathability, while wider, thicker padded shoulder straps further reduce pressure during prolonged use.
