The Hot Sauce 50L is for the natural thrill seeker, ideal for shorter, lighter, spicier journeys. Made in Melbourne combining a body made from Diamondloc fabric (approximately 500 grams) with an EXACT FIT Mid Lite harness designed for a supportive carry (around 690 grams), the result is a delicious bag weighing only 1200 grams, and you can trim the fat further by removing the shock cord (15 g) and compression straps (35 g).
The roll-top style can be filled to the brim or roll down to reduce. Water bottle, internal and front zipped pockets add depth, while our gear attachment system, hydration and add-on compatibility infuse variety.
- The EXACT FIT Mid Lite harness is compact, practical and lightweight
- Our frames are made from high-grade, hardened aluminium, channelled to increase rigidity and hand-bent in Melbourne
- Diamondloc fabric is lightweight, abrasion- and water-resistant: it can take the bumps and scrapes of everyday walking
- The roll-top style allows you to fill up and pack down the Hot Sauce to fit a wide variety of equipment and scenarios. (Note: the 50 L capacity is calculated when the pack is filled just above the top frames)
- Double-stitched binding for increased seam durability
- Reinforced double-layered base increases abrasion resistance, providing excellent durability
- The Hot Sauce features removable front compression straps and shock cord to save weight
- Front panel includes durable, detachable shock cord: a versatile attachment system
- A pocket below the shock cord can be used for walking poles or peg feet
- Non-crack nylon buckles are strong and reliable, chosen for superior durability. They bend rather than break
- We choose larger YKK zips for a lifetime of reliability
- Handy clip in the top pocket makes it easy to find your keys
- Built-in whistle in the sternum strap for emergencies
- Webbing keepers stop your main compression straps from dangling in the mud
- Large external water bottle pockets are low and within reach, allowing easy access and ergonomic weight distribution
- Internal loop for securing your hydration bladder: thread your hydration hose out the button-hole exit in the pack throat
- The Hot Sauce is made in Melbourne, along with all our rucksacks
