Outlier's Minimal Backpack is a simple, but extremely tough pack that can handle just about anything thrown in it.
Chances are most will look at the Minimal Backpack and not believe how much it's capable of carrying. However, Outlier teamed up with Hyperlite Mountain Gear to create this minimalist carrier that's ridiculously badass. It's constructed from Nonwoven Dyneema, which makes it water-proof, extremely light and highly durable. Just how tough is it? It's ten times stronger than steel and it can support a bag full of bricks like it's nothing. Because of the material, the Minimal Backpack can be folded up to a size small enough to fit into a jacket pocket.
The Minimal Backpack is simple and deceptively strong, which makes it a must-have for anyone looking for a bag.
