What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying: "I like this pack for long weekends when comfort really matters. The adjustable torso and supportive frame make it easy to dial in the fit, and the load transfers cleanly to the hips without feeling stiff. It carries heavier loads better than most packs in this size range and still feels nimble on the move." When we’re heading out for a full weekend on trail, we trust the PCT 50L Backpack from Mountain Hardwear to keep our load comfortable and balanced mile after mile. Designed for longer carries, this pack feels supportive without being overbuilt, letting us focus on the trail instead of constantly adjusting our kit.The lightweight perimeter frame and dynamic waist belt work together to move weight off the shoulders and onto the hips, while the body-hugging back panel provides stability and airflow on long climbs. Thoughtful organization keeps essentials easy to access, and external attachment points make it simple to carry trekking poles or technical tools. A removable hydration sleeve that doubles as a compact daypack adds versatility for side missions from camp. Built for durability and comfort, this pack is ready for big days and full weekends in the backcountry.
