FAQs
Is the Tempest™ 22 waterproof?
The pack features a PFAS-free DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment which provides water resistance against light rain and moisture. However, it is not fully waterproof. For heavy rain, we recommend using a separate rain cover.
What is the capacity of this pack?
The Tempest™ 22 has a 22-liter capacity, making it suitable for day hikes, bike rides, and other multi-sport activities where minimal gear is needed.
What kind of activities is this pack best suited for?
This pack is designed for multi-sport enthusiasts and is excellent for day hiking, trail running, mountain biking, and even light climbing or commuting due to its versatile attachments and stable carry.
How do I clean my Tempest™ 22 pack?
Hand wash the pack with mild soap and cold water. Avoid machine washing, bleach, or harsh chemicals. Rinse thoroughly and hang upside down to air dry completely in a shaded, well-ventilated area.
Are the materials used in the pack sustainable?
Yes, the Tempest™ 22 is constructed with Bluesign APPROVED, 100% Recycled high-tenacity nylon fabrics. The DWR treatment is also made without PFAS, reflecting a commitment to environmental responsibility.
Can I attach a hydration reservoir?
Yes, the pack features an internal hydration reservoir sleeve designed to hold most standard hydration bladders (reservoir not included).
Is this pack suitable for both men and women?
While the Tempest series is specifically designed with a women's specific fit (e.g., 'gender': 'Female' in product attributes) for optimal comfort, its adjustable nature may allow it to be comfortable for some male users as well. The Talon series is the men's specific counterpart.
Troubleshooting
Pack feels uncomfortable or rubs.
Adjust the hip belt to sit firmly on your hip bones, then tighten shoulder straps and sternum strap. Ensure the pack is not overloaded and weight is distributed evenly. Verify proper torso length adjustment, even for fixed-torso designs, as subtle shifts can impact comfort.
Difficulty accessing items while on the move.
Utilize the thoughtful pocketing: hip belt pockets for phone/snacks, harness pockets for quick access items, and the front stretch mesh pocket for layers or maps. Practice packing before your trip to optimize item placement.
Trekking poles or helmet feel insecure when attached.
Ensure the Stow-on-the-Go loops for trekking poles are fully tightened. For the LidLock helmet attachment, make sure the clip is securely fastened. For ice axes, ensure the tuck-away loop and bungee tie-off are properly utilized and cinched tight.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Initial Setup
- Adjust the Torso Length: While the Tempest 22 is a fixed-torso pack, ensure the shoulder harness and hip belt are positioned correctly for your body. The continuous-wrap design is intended to contour to your shape.
- Load the Pack: Distribute weight evenly, placing heavier items closer to your back. Utilize the main compartment for bulkier items and external pockets for frequently accessed gear.
- Adjust Harness and Hip Belt: Fasten the hip belt first, ensuring it sits comfortably on your iliac crest (hip bones). Tighten the shoulder straps so the pack sits snugly against your back. Adjust the sternum strap and load lifters (if present) to fine-tune the fit and stabilize the load.
Compatibility
- Hydration Reservoirs: Compatible with most standard hydration reservoirs that fit within the internal sleeve. (Info needed: Specific maximum reservoir size).
- Gear: Designed to integrate with trekking poles, ice axes, and bike helmets using dedicated attachment points.
- Blinker Lights: Features a specific loop for attaching a blinker light for added visibility.
- Gender/Age: Primarily designed for adult females, though the adjustable fit can accommodate a range of body types.
Care Instructions
- Cleaning: For general cleaning, hand wash with mild soap and cold water. Avoid using harsh detergents, bleach, or fabric softeners, as these can damage the fabric and DWR coating. Rinse thoroughly.
- Drying: Hang the pack upside down in a well-ventilated area to air dry completely. Avoid direct sunlight or high heat, which can degrade materials.
- Storage: Store the pack in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Ensure it's completely dry before storing to prevent mildew.
- DWR Re-application: Over time, the PFAS-free DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment may wear off. You can re-apply a DWR spray specifically designed for outdoor gear to maintain water repellency.
