Hyperlite Versa Review
Super simple, built from lightweight Ultra material.
More on the Hyperlite Versa
What I like
- This became the fanny pack I use regularly, all the time
- Dyneema: super water and weather resistant, and it keeps getting better with a patina like rugged, lightweight leather
- Super simple. The straps fold away inside, so I can go full purse mode and throw it on the table or a gym machine
- Little pocket up front and a quick-stash spot on the back
- Never in the way, and the clip is really easy to get on and off
- My pick when I want ultralight
Watch for
- Nothing fancy about the strap or the gather, it's a piece of elastic
- The strap is thinner than I'd usually like
- The back quick-stash spot is open on the top and sides
Specs
- About 2L, 2.25 x 6 x 9 in
- 2.91 oz (83g) without the waist strap
- Dyneema Composite Hybrid (DCH50) and mesh, PFAS-free, waterproof YKK zippers
