From Fishing Nets to Adventure: Big Agnes Unleashes the Game-Changing Sweetwater UL Backpack Series

Steamboat Springs, USA – April 10, 2025 – Big Agnes, the renowned brand that has redefined outdoor gear, is making waves once again with its latest offering: the Sweetwater UL backpack series. Whether you’re heading out for a day hike or planning an extensive multi-day trek, these backpacks promise to be the versatile companion you’ve been seeking.

The Sweetwater UL series offers three sizes—28L, 43L, and 60L—each tailored to fit your adventure style. The standout feature? The flagship 28L model weighs in at a mere 850 grams, making it lighter than your average backpacking lunch. Designed with multiple torso size options in mind, these packs fit almost everyone, ensuring you get the comfort you need on all your journeys.

One of the most impressive aspects of the Sweetwater UL packs is the commitment to sustainability. Constructed from Recycled Rain™ Ocean 70D nylon ripstop—crafted from discarded fishing nets—these backpacks are made for the eco-conscious explorer. High-strength Robic yarn adds to the durability while remaining ultra-light, and the absence of intentionally added PFAS in the water-repellent coating is a feature outdoor enthusiasts can rally behind.

Comfort is not sacrificed here. Big Agnes has included a flexible harness system that hugs the hips securely, coupled with several adjustment options to cater to various torso lengths. The Load Wrangler carrying system is designed for ultimate carrying comfort, seamlessly shifting the weight through an integrated frame system, allowing you to tackle hills and valleys with ease.
