Functional and perfect for an overnight with my two littles

I love my 60L pack from Near Zero! It’s incredibly functional and modular. I’m a petite woman (XS and 5’3”) and this is a great snug fit. Some features I enjoy are the deep side zipper pockets, roomy waist belt pockets, removable and customizable inside dividers, and zip enclosed water bladder. It’s also compatible with my Trail Magik baby carrier. I’ve taken this pack on many overnights with all the gear for myself and two kiddos - it’s great!

I love this backpack!

I have had the dean 50L for the past 2 and a half years, and put it through over 30 different camp outs, and it was amazing. It obviously had some wear and tear, but i have loved it and it never failed me! finally I recently upgraded to the Dean 60L, and can’t wait for more camp outs. I highly recommend this backpack for anyone looking to enjoy the outdoors.

Roomy and comfortable fit

Tried out the 60L pack this last weekend on a high elevation overnighter and loved it. So much space! And even having it loaded down w/ 30+ lbs., the comfortable fit made it seem much lighter. Highly recommend.
