ULA Equipment Photon Backpack
Ultralight Backpacking Performance at Half the Price of New
This ULA Equipment Photon Backpack is one of the most respected ultralight packs on the trail — handmade in the USA, dialed for thru-hikers and weekend warriors alike, and built to carry big miles without beating up your back. The Photon strikes the rare balance between minimal weight and genuine comfort, with a supportive framesheet, load-lifter straps, and a hipbelt that actually transfers weight. This one is fitted with a small torso and small waist belt, making it an ideal match for smaller-framed hikers looking to go light without compromise.
Size: Small (Small Torso / Small Waist Belt)
Color: Green
Condition: Great - Evidence of use, but no cosmetic issues
Original Retail: $295
Key Features:
- Ultralight Construction: Built with Dyneema and high-tenacity nylon, the Photon delivers serious durability at a fraction of the weight of traditional packs.
- Small Torso Fit: Sized for a small torso length, ensuring proper load transfer and all-day comfort for smaller-framed hikers.
- Small Waist Belt: Padded hipbelt in small keeps the load on your hips where it belongs, even on long days.
- Framesheet & Load Lifters: Internal framesheet and load-lifter straps give the Photon a level of structure and comfort rare in ultralight packs.
- Handmade in the USA: Every ULA pack is built to order in Logan, Utah — this is small-batch craftsmanship, not mass production.
- Versatile Capacity: Works as a weekend pack for ultralight setups or a thru-hiker's go-to for the long trail.
Ideal For: Ultralight backpackers, thru-hikers, and smaller-framed adventurers who want a pack that punches well above its weight. ULA Equipment has a devoted following for good reason — these packs hold up for thousands of miles. Getting one pre-owned at this price is a serious score.
