We’re working out what we think – we’ll add our view here! 

Liteway says: 

Elementum – translated from Latin as Basis. A backpack is the basis and beginning of any adventures.

This is the most popular backpack in our pack’s range. Chosen by hundreds of hikers and tested by thousands of kilometres of travels. This backpack is a reliable friend on long distance hikes.

The unique design has simple roll top construction which can be fast loading and easy adjustment of the volume. The shape of the backpack body has the form of a trapezoid – this is for more convenient loading of the gear into the backpack. There are a lot of additional pockets for quick access, convenient placement and easy packing of gear in it. The backpack helps to improve your speed, efficiency, increase hiking distance on the trail. Ideally for those who want to save every gram in their gear.

Built from Ultra™ 200, the woven fabric is 67% UHMWPE and 33% Repreve recycled polyester. The proprietary Challenge RUV recycled film backing is 100% recycled and 97% UV Resistant. Every yard of Ultra™ 200 saves over one pound of CO2, compared to Nylon pack fabric.
