Seek Outside Unaweep 4800
The Unaweep is a versatile platform that can handle thru hikes, backpack hunting, packrafting, ski mountaineering, climbing attempts, or camping with the kids. No other ultralight backpack offers the size, compression, comfort under load, weather resistance, and adaptability of the Unaweep.
The Unaweep has a very water resistant packbag, two large side water bottle pockets, and comes with our interchangeable Talon compression system that allows you to tailor your organizational needs. This pack excels at mixed uses and can handle heavy and awkward loads in comfort.
Please note that hip belt, extensions and Talon is sold separately.

Frame Size
The frame is 24″ on delivery, but it can be adjusted with a frame extension to 26″ (2″ extension) or 28″ (4″ extension). Frame extensions are used if you are going to carry a lot of weight, but also if you have a longer upper body. See table below for information if you need to add extensions to your order.
For more information on how to measure your torso length, see Seek Outside’s article “Which Frame Height is Right for me?“.
Example: If you have a torso length of 45 cm and plan to carry 15 kilos in the backpack, you should extend the frame with 2″ extensions so you get a frame of 26”.
Torso length | Carrying weight up to 13 kg | Carrying weight 13-23 kg | Carrying weight above 23 kg |
15″-16″ (38-41 cm) | 24″ | 24″ | 24″ eller 26″ (add 2″ extensions) |
17″-19″ (42-48 cm) | 24″ or 26″ (add 2″ extensions) | 26″ (add 2″ extensions) | 26″ eller 28″ (add 2″ and/or 4″ extensions) |
