The Salewa Pedroc Mate 22L Backpack in Willow is a minimum weight speed hiking daypack, built from 100D Robic ripstop nylon and weighing just 480 g. It sits close to the back and stays out of the way, which is what a pack has to do when you are moving fast.

• 480 g: the pack is roughly 44 percent lighter than a comparable 25 litre hiking daypack, because the whole design is built around not being noticed.
• Close fitting Dry Back Contact system: the EVA padded back with 3D channels holds the load tight against the back so it does not swing when you move at pace.
• Light split shoulder straps: the split strap design spreads pressure without the bulk of a full padded harness.
• Removable hip strap: the webbing hip strap comes off entirely once you no longer want it.
• Fast access side pockets: the double side pockets are reachable without taking the pack off, which is the whole point on a fast day.
• Quick pole storage: poles stow and deploy quickly rather than needing a stop and a rethread.
• Valuables pocket with key holder: an internal zipped pocket with a key clip for the things you cannot lose.
• Hydration compatible: side tube guides route a reservoir hose for drinking on the move.
• 22 litres at 48 by 27 by 18 cm: a narrow 18 cm depth keeps the load close, with daisy chain and side compression straps.
