Product Description

Great for hauling heavy loads over long miles, the new Klymit Motion 60L features a top-loading design for easy gear access and an Airframe suspension for comfort and support. Adjustable on the fly via the integrated hand pump, the suspension combines a rigid frame sheet and a pressurized air chamber to direct the load towards your center of gravity, dampen vibration, and minimize bounce as you move Read More

This is a nice pack, I have the Motion 60 and a couple of the 35's. At less than 100.00 this is a steal for the current model. I have last years model and paid $50.00 more for it. The pack has a "U" shaped aluminum support that can be removed. The air frame can also be removed if not needed and is independent from the aluminum frame support. The only thing missing on this pack that I would like to see is the mesh / stretch pocket instead of the bungie compression straps on the front. Klymit customer service is top notch, I did have some issues with the hand pump and it was replaced by Klymit no questions asked other than what address can we send a replacement to? The airframe provides a nice adjustable support but if it does fail in the field the pack still has a ridged structure due to the aluminum frame insert. As for 55 pounds, I don't think 55 pounds is a comfortable weight to ever carry regardless of the pack but this pack seems to carry up to 35 pounds including food and water just fine. My ULA struggles at weights over 35 pounds too so this is the price for an ultra light pack.

New Massdrop member here. I bought this Klymit 60 pack about about a month ago, and have used it on one overnight hike/backpacking trip (and paid about $135 for it, so this is a really good deal). I really wanted to love this pack, but I don't. To me the pack felt smaller than its 60 liter name, though I was able to (barely) squeeze in all my stuff...but if I'd had a larger tent, or clothes & food for a longer trip, I don't know that this pack would do it (though some have used it on the AT). Klymit actually says the main compartment is 55L, with 5L in the secondary pocket and lid, so maybe that's what I was feeling. The lid is also rather small. I also didn't find a real benefit to the air beam suspension, and honestly had trouble making the pack fit well at all - I had trouble getting the weight to stay on my hips comfortably, and was constantly adjusting the shoulder straps and hip belt to try, or at least re-shift the load. So overall I have been a bit disappointed. I will keep using it to see if I can find a sweet spot, but fear this will become the pack I lend to others. As for weight, unless you're carrying rocks I think it would be difficult to stuff more than 35-40 Lbs worth of stuff into it. I try for (near) ultralight, and I struggled to find space in it for my 25-30Lb load.

OffenjI understand your points on this pack but the main diffrence between this and an osprey is that the klymit has far less structure to be able to get the weight exactly where you want it. You have to pack this bag very strategically. I always stuff my sleeping bag, pad, tent and jackets into the bottom. Then followed by food, water bladder, and cook set. The outside pockets are very large and I would encourage you to put as many of the things that you would normally put in a separate bag and then shove into the main compartment, put that in the outside compartments. As long as you are not carrying a huge amount of linens for a winter trip this bag should be perfectly fine. Worry about packing the bag with the heaviest things close to your back. Pack the rest of your small linens like sox, underpants, beanies, around that. cinch everything down with your load securers and your load lifters. Then once your pack seems to be decently strapped on to your back, inflate the back pad. It will get to a point where it feels just right and gives you the perfect amount of support and room.

So what's the difference between the s/m and m/l? Is it the torso length? I am extremely short waisted.

Actually - there is NO small/medium size offered for the updated Motion pack. The description is wrong. They are only made in one torso size, but the waist belt might fit as small as 28". Everyone on the drop was sent an e-mail and given the option to either cancel or get the larger size. I smissed the message but spoke to Klymit customer support today. They are a fabulous company FWIW. There were no more smalls left in stock at Klymit, otherwise she would have worked with me on a swap.

I am thrilled to see that Klymit has made some nice updates to their Motion 60. This new version was just released in the last few days and so you'll be hard pressed to find reviews already. We can make some comparisons with the previous model, and the changes are all positive. The floating top lid is removable. There are now adjustable straps on the bottom of the pack that can be used to hold on to larger items, like foam pads, tent poles, and so on. The color scheme is much improved too, IMO. Happy to answer any questions as I've got the pack at my desk right.

DannyMilksDoes this still have the aluminum rod as a frame in it? It doesn't sound like it by the description.

I've been eyeing this pack for a while now but continue to be bummed out that Klymit doesn't seem to offer them in S/M torso size anymore. :'(

How is the new edition different to the previous edition?
Also when will you offer packs in Forrest green or khaki or coyote brown?

IhikeAlot3 things for sure that I can tel from the pics and description:
1. New color ;) 2. The lid is now floating and removable: This is awesome for storing something under the lid and if you want to lighten the pack. 3. There are now straps at the bottom of the pack for loading a mat or other gear. 4. Looks like the bunny cord might not be there on the back of the pack.

The video is for the older version of the pack and shows an aluminum support stay. The new pack states that is has "a rigid frame sheet". Can you get some pictures of that? I'm curious why they changed that?

EleazarGreat questions Eleazar. The frame stay is a pre-bent U-shaped aluminum stay that is removable. The mesh netting around it is the new aspect, so it's only been improved. Here are some pictures to help.

I'm sure I can. Attachment points at the bottom is pretty basic though.. even for a cheaper pack.

SerJorahMormontA lot of packs are missing those these days...maybe because so many pads are very compact now and can be put inside the pack very easily. You could mount it vertically on this pack with a diamond/criss-cross bungee or light cord and a line-loc. Might carry better that way anyway and won't get in the way when you sit with the pack on.

OrCohenWish we could help you on this Klymit pack, @OrCohen, but the order has been completed and shipped. We're working on making the 35L version available very soon. We'll try to rerun this 60L one as soon as possible. It's only been about a week since the drop ended and already there are a good number of requests.

You can't say that without measuring his waist and torso. Go to REI and have them measure for you.

I seemed to have missed this drop. Do you remember the drop price?

This is a very comfortable pack with a really great waist belt- two adjustments on each side and it rides beautifully. I wish it had a stretch mesh pack on the back- internal hydration is lacking and the pouch on the back is small and rigid. Can haul a lot of weight for the pack/size weight. Shame they don't offer a small.
