Product Description

THE DEAN™  1st Generation by Near Zero is a lightweight (only 3 lbs.), large capacity (50L) pack for overnight backpacking adventures. Near Zero’s patent-pending design delivers quick access to gear using a labeled, compartmentalized & removable organizational storage system to maximize stability, comfort, and weight distribution.

Key Features

Ultimate Weekend Pack: Designed for lightweight overnight and weekend trips, this backpack features a patent-pending system that creates the first overnight pack with clearly labeled, easy-access compartments for your gear.

Smart Organization System: Labeled section panels, removable dividers, and mesh pockets help you load the pack correctly, keep essentials visible, and ensure nothing gets left behind.

Quick-Access Storage: The top panel includes three zippered mesh pouches for important items, while a large front panel opening lets you see and reach your gear without digging from the top.

External Gear Options: A spacious front stretch-mesh pocket holds shoes, wet clothing, or extra layers, and the exterior cord system is perfect for securing a bear canister. Adjustable side and bottom straps keep bulky items like a sleeping pad secure.

Comfort & Stability: A breathable mesh back panel, hydration bladder compartment with attachment strap, and adjustable sternum strap with an integrated safety whistle ensure comfort and readiness on the trail.

Weather-Ready Construction: YKK water-resistant silicone-sealed zippers help protect your gear from the elements.

NOTE: Backpack only. Individual gear items as shown in pictures sold separately.
