What is the Tempest 6?
The Tempest 6 is a durable hip pack designed for outdoor lifestyles and everyday activities. Whether hiking, walking, or running errands around town, it provides six litres of storage for your essentials.
What is it made of?
The main body is made with high-tenacity nylon with a triple ripstop. This fabric is incredibly durable and abrasion-resistant, allowing it to survive regular use in rugged terrain.
The Tempest's base and liner are made with 420HD nylon packcloth, which is incredibly durable. Thus, this bag will likely last a lifetime.
All of these materials are 100% recycled and bluesign® approved. bluesign® certifications ensure that the materials used avoid harmful substances, use reduced air and water emissions, increase resource productivity, and that the production line is more transparent and trustworthy.
All materials are also treated with PFAS-free DWR (durable water repellent), encouraging light rain and snow to bead off the material instead of soaking in. PFAS-free treatments avoid the use of harmful 'forever' chemicals. PFAS is a toxic chemical known to cause harm to humans and the environment. It was previously commonly used in DWR treatments, however, many outdoor companies are now working to eliminate these chemicals from their production lines to contribute to a more responsible manufacturing process.
What are the features?
The Tempest 6 provides six litres of storage for day hikes and hill walks. You can access the main compartment using the dual-zippered panel access point. For extra organisation, this hip pack also comes with a front panel zipped pocket with a key clip, padded bottle sleeves with bungee retention straps, and dual-zippered hip belt pockets that are ideal for stowing trail snacks, energy gels, and doggy bags.
The Tempest 6 also features horizontal StraightJacket compression straps that cinch in any dead space when the bag isn't full, helping to prevent contents from rattling around inside.
A seamless lumbar-to-hip-belt body wrap with BioStretch seams (stretchy seams) provides further flexibility and enhances comfort for longer activities, while the Crossbody ErgoPull system helps to pull the lumbar into the body for improved weight distribution.
Lastly, spacermesh over die-cut foam provides a breathable, comfortable contact surface that manages temperature regulation efficiently.
