Building on the ingenious design Yamatomichi’s cult classic MINI Backpack, but created with longer treks in mind, the THREE is for those who’re after an ultralight pack that will take them even further. 

The key difference is the low-profile webbing waistbelt which allows you to carry up to 10kg of supplies without the restricting feel of some more padded belts. This distributes the weight over the back and the upper waist for remarkably comfortable lugging on long days in the wilderness. 

The main body is made from X-Pac UX10—an exceptionally lightweight three-layer laminate renowned for its durability, abrasion resistance and waterproofness—while the base is constructed from hard-wearing ECOPAK EPX200. As with the MINI and MINI2 the details are truly next level here, with everything from the shape of that large front compartment to that handy removable back pad carefully considered to improve your time out on the trail.

If you’re trying to make your mind up between packs, this one is maybe more suited to longer multi-day adventures or winter hiking when more gear is needed.
