About the Sierra Designs Flex Capacitor 40-60L

A unique patent-pending gusset system is the foundation of Sierra Design’s Flex Capacitor design.

Gusseted interior fabric, combined with an array of compression straps allow the pack to expand from 40 to 60 litres effortlessly, allowing you to carry more or reduce the pack size when carrying less.

Unlike conventional backpacks that expand vertically to house more equipment the Flex Capacitor, expands around its circumference, which in turn provides a more stable carry through not affecting the centre of gravity of the pack.

The expanding design allows you to carry all of the food and essentials for a multiday trip, and while you diminish your supplies it can contract to reduce excess volume resulting greater stability for those last few 100 miles.

A Y Flex suspension system provides rigidity vertically whilst providing torsional flexibility to work with your body’s movements whilst not causing the load of the pack to collapse. A zippered top lid allows access to the main body of the pack, where access to the frame can be facilitated where should you wish the Y-Flex stay can be removed.

The back system is comprised of two scapular and a singular lumbar pad. This promotes airflow around the lower back for warm and humid conditions. Opting for a significantly simpler back system, reduces the Flex Capacitor coming it at a minimal 1.16kg for the S/M and 1.2kg for the M/L.

Two compression straps run horizontally around the main body of the pack. These allow for the additional carry of hardware, such as trekking poles and shovels. They also allow the pack to be compressed adding to improving the load carry performance.

The Flex capacitor features 6 exterior pockets for those trail essentials. Two Zippered hip-belt pockets keep snacks and phones close at hand, two side water-bottle pockets are there for hydration bottles or maps, a top lid pocket and two 20oz shoulder strap water bottle pocket for ease of access.

For those who want all of the capabilities on the trail. The Flex Capacitor is a revolution in the pack world for both through-hikers and backpackers alike.

There to be as flexible as the modern outdoorsman. This the one pack to rule them all.

Capability. Quality. Style.

Sierra Designs, for the trail.

So happy with this backpack. Great fit, light and really like the expansion option. Tested it out over a 2 day trip and I'm now looking forward to a 4 day trip to test it with more gear in.

The flex system works really, really well, the sac is lightweight for its capacity and very fair value for money. Have used it in Patagonia carrying over 15kg per day for multiple days and it was as comfortable as you could hope in the circumstances. The hip belt is able to take most of the load and create some airflow for the back. Overall this pack is exactly what I hoped for and wanted. The zip closure on the lid could be a little better and the top pocket a little bigger, but in the grand scheme of how well it delivers on weight, space flexibility and carrying comfort I wouldn’t mark it down for those small points at all.
