The Morado is a lightweight and versatile multiday pack that is now in it’s 4th generation and fully configureable to your needs.

It has key features that ensure carrying comfort for a wide array of loads. These are the best combination I’ve found over many different variations and generations of testing various frame types and hip belt interactions.

The main part of the carrying system are the two tubular aluminium stays. These are light, stiff for their weight and still shapeable. They are configured in a slight V-taper, bringing structure only where it is needed most, firmly connecting the hip belt and load lifters. They are anatomically shaped and can be removed from their sleeves and even flipped for a different lumbar angle. At the bottom they terminate on a load distribution plate, which further integrates the stays with the pack and along with the taper provide some horizontal structure.

The hip belt is well padded and is progessively stiffened towards the center, where is it mounted underneath the lumbar pad. This makes the hip belt to transfer load and pivot with the natural movement of the hips. The two shapes do the heavy lifting in terms of mathcing the contour of your body and the dual pull forward adjusters allow you to fine tune both the fit and pressure.

The shoulder straps too are well padded and available in different shapes in order to truly accommodate different body shapes. They feature daisy chains and a removable sternum strap.

The pack also features a sit integrated as back padding.

The current lead time is displayed in a banner when you first visit the website.

It is the estimated time it takes from ordering to shipment. Shipping time is not included. If you need a pack before a certain date, let me know in the order notes.

It applies to all custom packs and standard packs not in stock.

While the fabrics used for the main compartment are laminated and waterproof, they are sewn together. This leaves small needle holes for water to slowly seep through.

These fabrics do stop alot of water ingress compared to traditional coated fabrics and crucially don’t soak up as much moisture. When used together with a liner (or a few drybags), you get at very serviceable waterproof system.

Some pack and fabric combinations would allow seam taping but I’ve stopped offering this. A fully waterproof pack is an inviting idea but wear and tear will quickly make it lose waterproofing, necessitating a liner anyway.

The listed values are all useable internal volume only. Pockets are not counted. Be aware that back height influences volume slightly and measurements for every size is listed for every pack.

Every pack size is drawn in CAD with a few modifiers to get as close as possible to the real world shape for the best estimate.
