  • How waterproof is the Freefly16?
    Bags with Freefly in the name are built from waterproof materials, have sealed seams, and feature PU coated water resistant zippers. These bags are not designed for submersion, but they will protect from inclimate weather and are therefore considered to be weatherproof.

    How do I pack up and stow the Freefly16?
    We suggest folding the pack in thirds vertically and rolling up tightly from the bottom. Unzip the top closure so that air can escape as it is rolled up. For detailed instructions, the demo video above shows the full pack up.

    Is the Freefly16 hydration compatible?
    No. For hydration compatibility, we suggest the Beast18 or Beast28.

    Does this pack have a hip belt?
    No. For a hip belt, we suggest the Freerain22, Beast18, or Beast28.

    Does this bag have a warranty?
    Yes, all Advanced Series bags are warrantied for 3 years. Bags in and out of warranty are eligible for repairs.
