About the original
The North Face Flyweight Day Pack is a packable ultralight daypack that stuffs into its own zippered pocket, designed as a summit pack or secondary travel bag with minimal carry weight. The construction uses ripstop nylon with a single main compartment, an internal stow pocket, and padded mesh shoulder straps; it weighs under half a pound and stows to about the size of a fist. The North Face was founded in San Francisco in 1966. The SS18 Supreme edition applies an all-over snakeskin print in black, green, and red across the body, part of a matching capsule that also included a Flyweight Duffle and a coaches jacket.
