Description

The Lightning 60 is a refined lightweight backpack for any long distance hike or multi-day trekking adventure where minimal weight, functionality and a little extra space are required.

The functional roll-top closure allows not only quick access, but also expansion of the main compartment. Side pockets made of elastic fabric can be used to store items such as water bottles as well as trekking poles or tent poles. Zippered pockets on the hip belt on top of the pack provide even more quick-access storage space.

Side zig-zag compression straps and a webbing strap that runs across the backpack with quick-release buckles keep gear like mats or a flysheet securely in place. Those who use the Lightning for mountaineering attach ice tools to the designated loops and central daisy chain.

The fully adjustable suspension system with minimal contact points and aluminum stay is length-adjustable and can be easily configured to fit the length of your back. Further carrying comfort is provided by a padded hip belt. The extremely lightweight material is water-repellent and PFC-free.

Loving the speed

Quicker more accurate data. As a person who is starting to use pace, stride length and cadence data more nowadays to improve my distance running efficiency, to know that the data provided is more accurate and quicker is much appreciated.

Excellent walking poles

Managed to leave my wifes last carbon cork poles leaning against the wall of the visitors centre at Cockle creek. I borrowed them for traverse of the Southern Range in Tasmania. Only issue with that walk was that they had to be stored in the pack in the scrubby sections and their closed length was an issue. I now have z fold poles which are great for storage. The carbon corks are my wifes favourite because of the cork handles. I am sure they will serve her well in her walks which do not include any scree or bush bashing.

great head lamp , best price , fast service. thank you.

Daylight on command

The NU43 is a bargain for the price. No bells and whistles just light on demand.
For trail running I find the middle setting at 300 lumens enough as the high (600 lumen) can sometimes reflect too much light back from the ground.
It’s a little heavy up front so headband needs to be adjusted properly to avoid bounce. Yes it could have removable battery but at the price you could buy to headlamps and have change from the price of a big name brand.
This will go close to the Fenix at less than half the price

Beaut little headlamp

USB C recharging, IP66 water resistant 3 colours with glow in the dark cord. I was also possibly looking at the NU20 and do find that both the NU21 ultra low white mode and the red modes a little too bright for my late night liking. You also can’t turn off one of the lights to conserve battery power which would have been a handy feature. As a headlamp it’s good but maybe not so much as much as a nightlight.
