MOLECULE BACKPACKS
An essential piece of equipment for any adventure travel, hut-to-hut treks or cross-continental trails, and the perfect solution for those who want to switch to ultralight. Considering how light they are, our new Molecule backpacks are remarkably comfortable to carry.
Optimized with a sophisticated back system and modular & removable pockets and compression straps, with this backpack you can hike as you like. While the Molecule 45L is the perfect size for lightweight thru-hikes and multi-day trekking, its 30L sibling will be your ideal companion for hut-to-hut hikes or weekend outdoor adventures. The Molecule 15L is best suited for short hikes and biking trips or simply as your lightweight universal daypack.

WHAT KIND OF BACKPACK IS GOOD FOR HIKING?
There is no universal answer. It all depends on your torso length, hiking style, the equipment you will be carrying and the difficulty of the trek. However, remember the golden rule - the less you carry, the more enjoyable your hike will be!
So, the first step when choosing your backpack, you should consider what you really need and invest in lightweight and high-quality equipment that suits those needs and hiking style. For most multi-day hiking and even thru-hikes, a 50L backpack should be more than enough. For more information about how to choose the right size for you, please click here.
A full backpack has never been so comfortable to carry. As a mountain guide I need to carry all my equipment for hours of walking. This one has everything a mountain lover needs to accompany him or her with confidence of its sturdiness. For a short hike or a long expedition, the bag's volume adapts quickly and allows you to attach all your adventure toys.
The Molecule backpack is definitely a game changer. The roll-top closure allows me to make the backpack as big or as small as I like. Also, thanks to its removable compression straps I can place my gear wherever I need. And the design of the shoulder pocket for the water bottle (or phone or snack) is just genius! Love every aspect of this pack.
I did have the opportunity to test the Molecule in a variety of settings and I must say that the Molecule is one of the lightest and the most comfortable (which often are two contradicting features) backpacks that I own. Ideal backpack for longer treks in the wild or personal backpacks for traveling! Its roll-top feature and high customizability with attachment points makes it unique and practical!
