The Sierra Designs Flex Capacitor 40-60 S-M is an ultra-lightweight backpack with a unique patented volume expansion system for travelling, hiking and trekking.
A wedge-shaped insert in the front and a system of webbing straps help to adjust the volume of the backpack by increasing or decreasing its width - this provides a more stable and comfortable load, unlike backpacks with an increased vertical part.
The suspension has a removable, collapsible aluminium Y Flex DAC frame in the shape of the letter Y. This system conveniently distributes the load with an emphasis on the hip belt and creates space for ventilation and dispersion of warm, moist air generated during long walks between the backpack and the back.
The straps, hip belt and back cushions are made of moulded foam with perforations and air channels and are lined with mesh material.
The hip belt with two voluminous pockets is equipped with a convenient "reverse" tightening system - to tighten the sling, you need to pull forward instead of backwards.
When transported as hand luggage, the belt and frame can be removed.
Thanks to its design features, the backpack can be used for a wide range of outdoor activities, hiking, travel and travel, where it can also serve as hand luggage during flights.
The Sierra Designs Flex Capacitor S-M is a model with a back size of S-M (for users of average height) and can be purchased with a hip belt in one of two sizes, S-M or M-L.
The backpack is designed by the famous athlete and traveller Andrew Skurka and has won prestigious American awards:
- One of The Best Summer Packs of 2017 by Outside Magazine
- Top Gear of the Year 2016 by GearJunkie.
To protect your backpack from dirt and heavy rain, we recommend that you additionally purchase the Sierra Designs Flex Capacitor Rain Cover grey or its equivalent.

Manufacturer:
Slumberjack or SJK was founded in 1959 in St. Louis, Missouri, USA.
For many years, the company has been producing sleeping bags for children, adults, double sleeping bags, tents and camping furniture, as well as a lot of related equipment.
Until the last moment, everything was produced in the United States, which greatly distinguished the company from all competitors and eventually turned it into a strong player in the outdoor equipment market.
In 2008, Slumberjack became part of American Recreation Products, Inc. (American Rec), which by that time already included Kelty, Sierra Designs, Ultimate Direction and others.
In 2014, the company presented a new direction - Tactical Hunting Gear, in which it formed and implemented multi-platform solutions for hunting, which included transformation, various combinations and were quite versatile. The company's innovative developments were implemented in various colour combinations - DST (Disruptive Shadow Technology), Kryptek and Realtree MAX-1 camouflage. Tactical Hunting Gear also includes pouches, mats and covers for weapons, as well as warm waterproof raincoats.
In April 2015, American Recreation Products (Slumberjack was part of this corporation) merged with Exxel Outdoors to become a leading provider of high-quality and innovative outdoor products and the largest sleeping bag company in the United States. The newly formed corporation united the well-known brands Slumberjack, Kelty, Sierra Designs, Ultimate Direction, Wenzel, Insta-Bed, Tadpool, Master-Sportsman, X2O-sports, and Serta.
Today, Slumberjack is the perfect modern solution for hiking and camping, with a wide range of backpacks, sleeping bags, tents, mats, camping furniture and accessories.
