Featuring a Flexible Frame
To further aid your fast and light athletic endeavors, the Speedlite’s flexible frame system allows the backpack to move with your body while maintaining stability and support. The frame is made of lightweight and flexible spring steel, so you can run, step and hop to your heart’s content- knowing you have a bag that has your back.
Right for Fast and Light
If you haven’t guessed already- we think the Speedlite best serves hikers in a hurry. If you like to go fast on your feet, we think that the Speedlite 21 is among your better-rounded options outside of a running vest.

As a real world response to the “durability issue of a lightweight pack”, I have a 14yr old Speedlite 20 i’m about to replace (with another speedlite) purely because the zippers are giving up.
