NOVA - X PACK 50

INFORMATION FROM MANUFACTURER WEBSITE

The pack volume of 50 litres can be extended by an additional 10 litres thanks to the roll-top closure. The X-PACK 50 offers space for very compact lightweight equipment - ideal for hike & fly competitions.

ULTRA-LIGHT AND COMFORTABLE

The X-PACK 50 is the optimised and more sturdy version of the ultra-light competition version, which was developed for extreme hike & fly races. The 525 gram rucksack, made largely from paraglider cloth, is still very comfortable to wear, even at faster walking and running pace. A long and flat-packed wing, as well as the use of the extremely effective compression system, are the prerequisites for enjoying maximum wearing comfort.

PRACTICAL POCKETS

The X-PACK 50 is equipped with a number of external pockets that can be reached quickly and easily without taking off the rucksack. Along the entire side panels, elastic mesh pockets offer enough storage space for numerous accessories. They are accessible from above as well as through openings in the lower part. Inspired by modern trail running gilets, mesh pockets on the front of the shoulder straps allow you to stow small items such as cereal bars, sunscreen, power-pack, etc. There are also two Velcro straps on the shoulder for GPS trackers or smartphones.

CUSTOMISED TO YOUR NEEDS

To keep your paraglider protected during intense hikes, an airy spacer fabric on the back panel, hip belt and shoulder straps reduces sweat getting through from the back to the gear. The doubled-up back area offers additional protection against perspiration. Of course, there is a channel for the drinking tube. To save space inside the X-PACK 50, there are eight gear loops distributed over the entire backpack on the outside. Four of them are intended for the helmet net, the other four offer the possibility for individual fastenings.

PACKING

The X-PACK 50 is specially designed for lightweight and compact hike & fly equipment and requires careful packing. A long and flat-packed wing significantly helps the wearing comfort. The compression system allows tight lacing along the back. The packing volume is approx. 50 litres, although this can be expanded by around 10 litres using the roll-top closure. There is no table that tells you which equipment will fit in the X-PACK 50, as this depends on various factors (size and packing size of the glider and harness, packing method, accessories, etc.). As a general rule, however, the smaller and more compact your equipment is, the better it will fit in your backpack. The best thing to do is to try it out in-situ at your NOVA dealer or at a testival. Here you can find the X-PACK 50 in our online shop.
