What is the Misfit 27?
This is a smaller volume pack with functional details and a streamlined design for an overall light, easy carry. The Misfit 27 is designed with climbing or day hiking in mind, due to its refined size and variety of storage options.
What is it made of?
The Misfit 27 is made from 840D Ballistic Nylon and 420D PW (plain weave). Ballistic nylon is robust, heavy-duty nylon durable enough to take on bumps and scrapes from rocky terrain. This nylon type is much stronger and stiffer than other fabrics, delivering toughness and durability whilst still offering a lightweight feel.
PW (Plain weave) is a simple fabric with a basic construction that can withstand abrasion and provides a more structured look.
The bag has a Hydroshield® finish which creates a moisture-resistant coating to help water bead off the material.
Which backsystem does it use?
This pack uses a specialised Tri-flex™ backsystem, designed to support and contour to the body for optimum load transfer when transporting a heavier kit. The Tri-flex™ backsystem uses three key load support elements to build the overall structure.
A spring steel or aluminium frame improves the strength of the backsystem so it can take on heavier weight with ease. There is a HDPE stiffening sheet to retain the pack's shape and a moulded EVA foam back panel. Foam back panels help increase comfort and adapt to the body’s shape for a personal, figure-hugging feel.
What are its features?
The panel loader style of this pack means you can easily open the bag up and get to everything inside, secured with a zip fastening for quick access.
There are a lot of compartments to choose from for storage. An external zipped pocket can securely fit maps and guidebooks inside for exploring new locations. A clip-stick pocket is ideal for avid climbers who need somewhere secure to keep clip-sticks whilst hiking up to a route. Stretchy mesh side pockets are super handy for carrying larger water bottles without using up precious space within your pack.
There is also an internal security pocket which is perfect for stowing away more valuable items like a phone or wallet. Keys can be attached to the key clip inside the pack to keep them safe when you're out in the mountains.
The Misfit 27 also has many other handy little features, such as the internal gear loop and mesh dividers to make storing kit neatly much less of a hassle.
The bag is secured by easy-to-use zip sliders with cord pullers to tighten fastenings up. Cord pullers can help to prevent your gear from wobbling around so much, especially if the bag isn't fully loaded.
The sternum strap helps to keep the pack close to the body, which is great for improving weight transfer and creating a more balanced feeling as it's being carried.
For safety, the sternum strap also has a handy built-in whistle; use it to attract attention or signal help if you're lost or stuck in a dangerous situation. The pack also comes with an SOS panel - an instruction sheet for worst-case scenarios printed on a fabric panel inside the pack itself.
Finally, the waistbelt is removable, which gives you options of how to wear, or style, the pack.
