PINNACLE OF ULTRALIGHT PACK DESIGN:
The updated Ultra 200X & UltraGrid Kakwa 40 boasts a larger front pocket (nearly 2x volume), drain holes, custom Durston Gear logo buckles, additional lash points, and a variety of small refinements to further improve durability. The Kakwa 40 design is informed by Dan’s thousands of miles of backpacking experience, resulting in best-in-class load carrying, usability, quality, and durability – all while weighing a mere 28 oz / 795 g (ULTRA™ 200X) to 29.6 oz / 841 g (UltraGrid) for a medium pack.
LOAD CARRYING AND COMFORT:
The Kakwa 40 uses an inverted U-shaped frame built of hollow aluminum that is a more efficient use of structural weight and provides a rigid core with both vertical and horizontal structure. This frame connects directly to the hipbelt for optimal load transfer and directly to the load lifters, which are rare on packs this light yet essential for shifting more of the weight off your shoulders. Carefully developed S-shaped shoulder straps contour around your upper body, while the hipbelt uses a dual strap design to cup your hips and has reverse pull leverage for easy tightening.
The result is a pack that comfortably and effectively manages loads up to 45 lbs, all while weighing just 28 oz / 795g (Medium / Ultra 200X) to 29.6 oz / 841g (Medium / UltraGrid).

CHALLENGE ULTRA™ 200X – THE ULTIMATE TEXTILE:
UltraGrid is a nylon-based pack fabric that features a ripstop grid of UHMWPE fibers for added durability and a waterproof PU coating. This fabric offers a smoother feel, a tighter weave, and a more affordable price point.
In a class of its own, ULTRA™ 200X represents a new paradigm in durability and weight. ULTRA™ 200X weave is constructed with an optimal blend of UHMWPE & high-tenacity polyester. The tight weave is laminated with an eco-friendly adhesive to their revolutionary Challenge RUV™ film. The result is a textile that is incredibly strong, lightweight, and waterproof to 200 psi. The updated "X" version incorporates a tougher inner film for added durability.
Simply using a tough fabric is not enough if the pack has weak points in the stitching or supporting materials. That's why the Kakwa 40 is fully double stitched with heavyweight thread, and features the same ULTRA™ material for heavy wear points like shoulder straps, hipbelt pockets, and sided pockets. The front pocket is composed of durable knit mesh that won’t stretch out.

EFFICIENT POCKETS:
Efficient access to your gear while on the move is a hallmark of good pack design – and the Kakwa 40 delivers. Collectively, the Kakwa’s suite of pockets is carefully thought out and refined to enable rapid and efficient access to everything you need on the move. Four types of pockets optimize on-the-go access to most essential items:
- Hipbelt pockets with a generous shape easily accommodating snacks, sunscreen, or headlamps.
- Dual top opening shoulder strap pockets provide an ideal spot for your phone, sunglasses, or bear spray.
- QuickPocket provides an easily reached, concealed compartment in the side pocket for large items like hats, mitts, or large sized phones.
- Mesh front pocket for largest items like jackets and even cookwear – Hike all day without opening your pack.
HIGH STANDARDS, WITHOUT EXCEPTION:
The Kakwa 40 is made in the epicenter of high-quality outdoor product manufacturing, home to factories that produce tents and packs for the top brands in the world. The factory that produces the Kakwa also produces some of its top competitors from well-known companies such as Arcteryx, maintaining the highest level of materials sourcing, construction techniques, and testing with all the packs it produces.

Heavy duty brackets!
Size: 8 Inch, Color: Gold, Size: 8 Inch, Color: Gold
These brackets are heavy duty and came with the correct hardware. They were easy to install, the two holes were so helpful to know where to mark them. I think because they’re heavy duty you can place a good amount of weight on your shelves. The only thing I wasn’t happy with is that 4/69 of shelves, the paint was chipping but it was the perfect gold color.

Don't hesitate - Great product!
Size: 12 Inch, Color: Black
Superior quality at an unbelievable savings over local retailers. Hardware for hanging included the cheaper plastic lags yet they also included the heavy duty lags, so no tapping in to our supply. Thank you for a great product

Ignore the “Frequently returned item” message!
Color: Walnut Color, Color: Walnut Color
I usually don’t write reviews but I thought I should for these shelves. I was a little skeptical on these based on the “Frequently returned item” message but I decided to give them a shot and I’m glad I did! These shelves are solid and well made, beautiful color, fit perfectly in the corner of my wall, and are easy to hang. I’m not sure why they are frequently returned but I will be ordering another set for my wife’s side of the room.
