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
