Frequently Asked Questions
Absolutely! 50L is the sweet spot for a 2–3 day trip when you're the one carrying the bulk of the gear. The beauty of The Dean TR 50 is that it's a smart 50L with a unique clamshell design and an organized interior. The layout organically fits more than a bigger pack simply by using the space wisely.
The harness slides along an adjustable torso track from about 15" to 21". Measure from the bony bump at the base of the neck to the top of the hip bones, set the slider, and tighten. It fits most adults and kids aged 12 to 18, adjusting with every growth spurt.
3 lb 8oz empty, including the aluminum frame. Light enough that a full load feels like less, sturdy enough to actually carry one.
The materials, workmanship, and parts are covered throughout the pack's usable life. We do not cover normal wear and tear, misuse, neglect, environmental damage, unauthorized modifications, or secondhand purchases without proof of purchase. The namesake of this backpack means a lot to the Near Zero family. We wouldn't put Dean's name on a product we don't stand behind 100%.
Spot-clean with mild soap and water, air dry, never machine wash. The PFAS-free ripstop wipes clean easily; the removable dividers pull out so you can shake the grit from the bottom.
