The Windrider is an ultralight backpack from a cottage brand that has been refining this model since 2009. Its main body uses Dyneema Woven Composite 3.9, which is lighter than older Dyneema fabrics yet more abrasion-resistant. Three mesh exterior pockets keep gear visible and let wet items dry on the move. Redesigned shoulder straps and a sewn-through back panel improve comfort and weight distribution. It suits ultralight backpackers and hikers who prioritize low weight and durability over built-in organization and frame support.

Owners praise the Windrider for its low weight, durable fabric, and comfortable carry. Many note it is best for ultralight setups and can be less comfortable with heavier loads.
The Windrider is a backpack introduced in 2009 as the brand's first pack. It sits alongside the Southwest and Junction as a versatile, adaptable pack for backpacking and other adventures.
The main pack body is made from Dyneema Woven Composite 3.9 fabric. It combines the light weight of Dyneema Composite Hybrid 3.8 with more durability and abrasion resistance than the heavier Dyneema Composite Hybrid 5.9. The fabric is also water resistant.
Three mesh exterior pockets let you see what's inside and give wet gear a way to dry while you move. The pockets are deeper than before, with lower back edges for easier access to water bottles. They also hold gear like an ice axe more securely. Redesigned shoulder straps and a sewn-through back panel give a more comfortable, secure fit with better weight distribution and less wear over time.
