Product Description

There's definitely no fat in this Bacon. The original was a mere 650g, but our guides wanted to trim it even further. Introducing the Bacon 2.0. With narrower webbing, smaller hardware, and new 400D soft nylon diamond ripstop fabric, it weighs in at a wraith-like 550g. Guide-built with the Bacon's signature web skeleton—the secret to its ability to stabilize loads with such a light body. Two straps of continuous, 15mm nylon webbing start in the top lid, run down the front of the pack, then tie into the side compression/load stabilizer. The webbing gives a better structure without tension, and when the side load stabilizers are tensioned, it acts on the entire pack, pulling the load in closer. So instead of a loose noodle struggling to hold a considerable load, you have a pack that can actually be useful when carrying larger, heavier gear because the web skeleton keeps the gear secure and stable.

Awesome technical pack
Feb 10, 2021
I really love this pack! I've been using it for long, technical winter hikes. It has more than enough room to fit all of my extra gear, and if the weather warms up it seems there is always room to stuff something else in there. The hydration design works well. The elastic hooks at the top and wire loops on the bottom are great design features. The straps on the outside make it easy to attach snowshoes and poles. It also packs up very small, which means you sacrifice some rigidity, but it is great to pack as a daypack when you're doing multi-day hikes. Just a wonderful piece of equipment. Overall it's a wonderful pack.

Really light backpack. Nicely built, frameless but comfortable for short-medium hikes, stylish and made by First ascent (what else can I say!)

Perfect alpine climbing pack — almost
Oct 24, 2020
I used this pack for winter alpine and ice climbing all over Alaska. I'm always amazed at the amount of gear it will swallow up without a complaint. It also has to be the lightest full featured pack on the market. I do have one small complaint: The ice axe attachments are not great. They are definitely good enough for a mountaineering axe, or an ice tool with an adze. However, a modern technical ice tool with no adze will not work. If EB took the ice tool holder design from their Alchemist packs and put it on the Bacon...woo boy. I'd buy 4 of them.
