The Advance Lightpack 3 is a modern ultralight rucksack concept, developed specifically for hike & fly pilots who demand maximum comfort with minimal weight. Designed to carry compact harness–glider systems over long approaches, it combines ergonomic support, clever volume management and robust materials in a surprisingly light package.
Optimised for hike & fly missions
The Lightpack 3 is tailored to the new generation of lightweight, small‑packing Paragliding equipment. Its volume is precisely adapted to typical hike & fly sets, so the wing, harness, reserve and accessories fit snugly, reducing unwanted load shift on steep trails. Thoughtful compression options allow you to stabilise the pack whether it is fully or only partially loaded.
Ergonomics and carrying comfort
Despite its very low weight, the rucksack offers a fully featured carrying system. A well‑shaped back section, load‑bearing shoulder straps and an adjustable sternum strap distribute weight evenly, while a supportive hip belt helps transfer the load to the hips. This translates into noticeably less fatigue on longer ascents and better balance on uneven ground.
Breathable back padding improves air circulation between pack and pilot, helping to manage moisture during hot or fast climbs. The shoulder and hip straps are easily adjustable on the move, enabling you to fine‑tune the fit as terrain and clothing layers change.
Smart details for everyday use
Exterior storage and organisation
Multiple exterior pockets provide quick access to essentials such as drinks, snacks, gloves or a compact wind jacket. Elastic side pockets are ideal for bottles or trekking poles, while additional attachment points let you secure items like hiking sticks or crampons without compromising comfort.
Durable yet lightweight construction
The Lightpack 3 uses carefully selected lightweight fabrics that balance low weight with high tear‑resistance. Reinforced zones in high‑wear areas increase longevity, making the pack a reliable partner for regular use in alpine environments. High‑quality zips and buckles contribute to the overall feeling of solidity and precision.
Who the Lightpack 3 is for
This rucksack is ideal for hike & fly and voluntary walk‑up pilots who want to minimise carried weight without sacrificing comfort or practicality. It suits both dedicated lightweight set‑ups and compact standard wings, as long as the total volume matches the pack size selected.
