Alakazam 60L Backpack carries big-mile loads with ultralight strength

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:


"I expected the 60L to feel bulky, but the ALUULA fabric and frame design make it shockingly manageable even when fully packed. The hipbelt pivots naturally under heavier loads, and the GiddyUp compression tightens everything down without needing to take the pack off. It’s become my go-to for multi-day missions."


When we’re heading out for multi-day routes, big loops, or sections that demand self-sufficiency, we need a pack that manages higher volume without punishing us for carrying it. The Mountain Hardwear Alakazam 60L Backpack delivers that capability through ALUULA fabric—an advanced, ultralight material known for exceptional strength, stiffness, and durability. By keeping the pack light while maintaining structure, it lets us haul more miles and more gear with less strain.


The Gait Keeper hipbelt plays a huge role in comfort on long days. It pivots smoothly with our natural stride, helping distribute load across the lower body and reducing fatigue under heavier carry. Combined with the GiddyUp Compression System, which lets us tune the pack’s stability while it’s still on our back, the setup feels responsive on terrain where constant adjustments make a difference. With ample volume, intuitive pocketing, and high airflow contact points, the Alakazam 60L is built for trips that go deep into the backcountry—fast, light, and confident.
