Product Description:
Some people have a different kind of drive - the drive for high intensity, fast speeds, & lots of miles. These people go further & see more. Even if they have a day job, they don’t let that stop them from using their limited time to see the sights & accomplish their goals. They choose to embrace challenges, & they like it!
The Skyline Fastpack was designed for them.
It's the perfect pack for trail running, cross-country skiing, day hiking, backpacking (especially for those dialed-in ultralighters), trail running, & of course - fastpacking.
Fastpacking is ultralight backpacking but fast. You’ve got to be able to move quickly while carrying everything you need for camping overnight in the backcountry.
Your pack has to be able to handle all-day, on-the-move use while staying comfortable & giving you easy access to hydration and fuel. Understandably, it also has to be small & light so it doesn’t weigh you down. A fastpack MUST be stable while you run.
The Skyline Fastpack is versatile, comfortable, & built so that you can easily access what you need when you need it without removing your pack!
It uses a shoulder harness suspension system that evenly distributes your pack weight & doesn’t allow your water flasks to bounce around uncomfortably. Versatile pockets allow you to stash snacks, gear, or whatever else you need without fear of them falling out as you move. This shoulder harness suspension system hugs your body while still allowing you full range of motion for all-day comfort.
Challenge Ultra stretch mesh is used for the back, side, & bottom pockets & it is both LIGHT & DURABLE. It’s hard to cut it even with scissors! It stretches & allows you to easily stuff your gear where you want, but weighs next to nothing. This is some of the toughest and lightest mesh in the industry!
The unique bottom pocket has 2 parts: a pass-through sleeve & a zippered mesh compartment. Stash your phone, gloves, maps, or anything else right where it’s easily accessible and safe.
Every feature is intentionally designed, from the foam back panel that melds with your body to the versatile pocketing on the harness system that will keep your gear exactly where you want it when you need it.
Don’t let long distances & limited timelines keep you from experiencing the wild places you crave.
The Skyline Fastpack can help you satisfy that hunger.

Great conversation guys. After using the Skyline 30 on a 4-day fastpack recently in Slovenia, I can confidently say that it's a winner! Looking forward to showcasing it in my upcoming film from our adventure.
Thanks for sharing!
I just ordered mine today!! Can not wait to take delivery of this when it arrives. I plan on using this pack as a training day pack on trails and on my treadmill as well as a 2-night 3-day pack for some training while I prepare for JMT next summer. I further plan on purchasing the CS40 as well for my main pack while on JMT an future longer hikes.
You guys have done it! You’ve persuaded me to order a Fortius Tent 1p tent and a Skyline 30 despite the £55 postage to the hills of Wales 🏴 (UK)
I’m sure it will be worth it, no other company seems to do as much rigorous testing of their gear, and if they do, they don’t show it in as fun and less ‘salesperson’ way that you guys do.
Thank you
Thanks for the support.
Just ordered mine this morning
About to take my Lambo- sorry, my Skyline- out for its first test drive. This podcast is an excellent resource and queued me in to some awesome tips. Its so awesome that I can fit my lifestraw filter onto the OV flasks, huge win.
Glad it was helpful!
I appreciate sharing the story about the positive impact that training to be able to do fast packing has had on your life Tayson. It makes me want to give it a try. Thank you for all of the work that you put into your products.
1:30:27 Well said! I've had a very similar experience having started running at the age of 35 after never running at all. It has opened so many doors and opportunities and gives back everything that you put in and then some. It's the best!
I'm not sure running is more efficient than walking over long distances because walking is falling forward while running is pushing off. when I hike, I'm focused on lifting my knee and and then at the apex letting my foot drop straight down, getting a micro rest with every step. Another bonus to that style is that I hardly ever trip.
I disagree, running doesn't have to be pushing, many form coaches will tell you to fall and pull. Pushing can cause injuries in the achilies and calf, pulling, whilst not initially intuitive, can help avoid this.
@@GRumpyonekinobi If you don't push off you don't have both feet off the ground at the same time, therefore you are not running.
@@drytool Have you heard of the Pose Running Method?
@@GRumpyonekinobi , Is that just posing that you run? haha! No, I haven't.
@@GRumpyonekinobi I looked it up. If you don't push off you don't get both feet off the ground at the same time, hence, you may be race walking, but you are NOT running.
Love the design and ability to carry what is needed with a durable pack that will hold up to the abuse of trail running
Thanks
It looks incredible 😍 thank you for the deep dive
Glad you like it!
Love the attention to detail both in making it and explaining it. Only wish you had shown us the features on the actual pack that was behind you.
This is our podcast channel! To really get to see the features a bit more, we have a few videos on our Outdoor Vitals Official channel. Here's a product walkthrough: ua-cam.com/video/Sr_KdNSd0-4/v-deo.html
If I want to get more flasks that are identical to the flasks that come with the Skyline 30, which ones should I order? I don't see them on the OV website. I see Katadyn BeFree filters and soft flasks, but I don't think those will fit like the Hydrapak custom flasks in the Skyline 30, correct? Does the BeFree filter fit the custom Hydrapak flasks? I thought I heard Solomon and other filters fit on them too?
The guy on the left looks like he's on trail in a court lol
Did you look at sliding designs, like Aarn Packs?
