FAQs
Is this pack waterproof?
The pack is made of weather-resistant materials, but it is not fully waterproof. It is recommended to use a rain cover during heavy downpours.
Does this pack include a hydration reservoir?
No, the hydration reservoir is sold separately, though the pack includes a dedicated internal sleeve and routing port.
How do I determine if I need M/L or XS/S?
Size selection is based on your torso length, not your overall height. Measure your torso from your C7 vertebrae to your iliac crest to find your fit.
Can this pack be used for mountaineering?
Yes, it includes attachment points for ice axes and trekking poles, making it suitable for alpine environments.
What is the best way to clean the pack?
Wipe with a damp cloth or use a soft-bristled brush and mild, non-detergent soap. Air dry in the shade.
Troubleshooting
Shoulder straps feel uncomfortable or dig in
Adjust the torso length of the pack to ensure the harness weight is correctly distributed across your shoulders and hip belt.
Pack feels unbalanced while hiking
Check your packing technique to ensure heavy items are placed close to your back and centered, then tighten all compression straps.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best fit, adjust the torso length first using the harness adjustment system. Once the torso is set, load the pack with weight to test the hip belt and load lifter tension. The Kyte is compatible with most standard hydration reservoirs, featuring a dedicated sleeve for easy access. To maintain your pack, clean it after particularly muddy or dusty trips using a soft brush and mild soap; avoid harsh detergents. Store the pack in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the integrity of the synthetic materials over time.
