Product Highlights
Updated for 2009! Designed for experienced backpackers who have effectively trimmed the overall weight of their gear and want a lightweight pack to match, the GoLite Quest offers the capacity and support needed for ultra-lite multi-day excursions. Weighing in at only 3 lbs. 5 oz., the Quest can effectively and comfortably carry loads of up to 45 lbs.
The Quest is available in two different torso sizes with packbags offering 4400 and 4650 cubic inch capacities, respectively. Adding versatility, GoLite's patented comPACKtor compression system enables the Quest to efficiently cinch down to accommodate far smaller loads. Integrated compression anchor clips snap easily into place, reducing the profile and depth of the pack for shorter trips and lighter loads. Side compression straps further enhance the compressibility of the packbag and can be restrung across the front of the Quest to strap down snowshoes or larger gear.
Twin lightweight, removable aluminum stays work in tandem with a removable, moldable framesheet to provide the Quest with a functional balance of rigid support and flexibility. Breathable padding on the backpanel and shoulder straps lend comfort and combat heat build-up while carrying heavy loads. Beefier foam padding in the lumbar portion of the pack and the angled hipbelt further enhance carrying comfort and ensure proper fit.
A large zippered front pocket offers an organizational option to the Quest's large main compartment. An extendible lid houses a second large pocket and provides an additional location to store and organize gear. If you prefer to trim weight even further, the lid can be removed completely. An extendible spindrift collar protects the interior of the bag and can be cinched down with the use of a buckled overlapping compression strap. Sizeable zippered pockets on the hipbelt provide an arms-reach stow for valuables, food and small gear items.
Other special features of the Quest include trekking pole loops and two large elastic mesh water bottle pockets. Built-in tube exit ports and a narrow lined internal pocket that accommodates most hydration bladders (not included) make the Quest hydration compatible. Providing valuable assistance in emergency situations, the buckle on the sternum strap doubles as a whistle.
Constructed of durable 100% PU-coated Nylon Velocity with a DWR finish, the GoLite Quest is available in Med (torso lengths ranging from 17.5"-19.5") and Large (19.5"-21.5") lengths and your choice of Night, Coriander or Sapphire color options.
Styles available: L Coriander, L Night, M Coriander, M Night
GoLite part numbers: PA5261 L Coriander, PA5261 L Night, PA5261 M Coriander, PA5261 M Night
