Although designed as a pack for adventure racers, the incredibly low weight of 210g has made the Laser 20 Elite popular for all sorts of outdoor activities where weight is a concern. In 6 months through the winter the 3 reviewers managed to use the Laser 20 Elite for short and long hikes, snowshoeing, adventure racing and scrambling, as well as an around-town and gym bag.
Despite initial fears about it being too lightweight, all 3 reviewers were impressed with the design, stability and material quality of the pack. After 6 months of using the Laser 20 Elite through a harsh winter, they are all keeping their test packs for the coming summer!
