Seek Outside Silverton 2300 1.1
A 38 L UltraGrid day and overnight pack, the Silverton 2300 got more hip-belt padding in its 1.1 revision. At $349 it ships with a removable 20 in frame sheet and weighs 2 lb 3 oz, or 1 lb 12 oz without the sheet. The same bag also mounts on Seek Outside's Revolution frame, sold together as the $734 Revo Suspension Kit.

Seek Outside Divide 4800 2.0
The Divide 4800 2.0 is the current evolution of Seek Outside's cult-classic Divide 4500, an ultralight external-frame crossover pack that spans backpack hunting, packrafting and heavy-haul backpacking. The complete system — 79-liter roll-top bag plus the patented aluminum Revolution frame — ships at just 3 lb 7 oz yet carries 200+ lb loads, a strength-to-weight ratio no mainstream hunting pack matches.

Seek Outside Gila 3500 2.0
The Gila 3500 2.0 is Seek Outside's transitional pack between the minimalist Flight and the full-size Divide — 57 liters on the same field-adjustable frame, which Seek Outside rates to 200+ lbs (it calls 30-50 lbs the comfortable range). Seek Outside lists a 2 lbs 11 oz minimum with the cross stay and extra compression removed, which is unusually light for a pack with a frame-bolted hipbelt.

Seek Outside Unaweep 6300
The Unaweep 6300 is Seek Outside's integrated-platform hauler — 103 liters on the same Revolution frame as the breakaway packs, but with the bag sewn to the suspension for lower weight and a simpler ride. GearJunkie scored it 8.7/10, and it has been used everywhere from Denali's West Buttress at 120 lbs to multi-week packrafting expeditions.
