LITEWAY ELEMENTUM Ultralight Backpack 50L

It's Liteway's most popular pack for a reason. This frameless 50L roll-top comes in well under 700g and carries up to 12 kg comfortably — perfect for hikers who want to save every single gram without giving up proper organization or a comfortable carry.

Ecopak™ EPX200: 100% recycled polyester sourced from PET bottles, with a non-toxic C0 DWR finish (no PFCs) and a 70D ripstop backing that holds stitches far better than traditional 50D-backed fabrics. Polyester absorbs less moisture than nylon, stays a touch lighter on the scale, and holds its UV resistance and colour beautifully.

A quick note on waterproofing for the wet coast: both fabrics are highly water-resistant, but the seams on the Elementum aren't taped or sealed, so the pack isn't fully waterproof. For heavy rain, line the inside with a Nylofume pack liner or a dry bag.
