Description

The Meridian is a top loader with a floating lid/fanny pack and a single vertical zipper front access panel. It was specifically designed to withstand the rigors of the 10,000 miles of hiking our extreme pack tester Justin Lichter endured in 2006. "Trauma", as he is known as on the trail, started November 3rd 2005 and completed over 10,000 miles 356 days later (yes 356 days). We utilized the newly released RiRi water resistant tooth zippers for the fanny pack lid and the front access panel because they offer superior durability and water resistance to any other zipper we have seen. Reflective material on the daisy chains and on the shoulder straps insured Trauma would be seen when road hiking at night, they also make it easier to locate the pack in the dark. For slack packing strip off the lid and use it as a fanny pack. Built with the same frame and harness as our award winning Nimbus Ozone the Meridian pack offers the rare combination of durability, convenience, versatility, and comfort in an ultralight trail pack.

Meridian Pack Style

A Meridian style pack body has it all; a top loader with a floating lid/fanny pack and a single vertical zipper front access panel that allows for quick access to items at the bottom of your pack. The original concept of this pack was to make it last for Trauma’s 10,000 mile trek, so it is bombproof. We utilized the newly released RiRi water-resistant tooth zippers because they offer superior durability and water resistance to any other zipper we’ve seen. Reflective material on the daisy chains and on the shoulder straps ensured that Trauma was seen when road hiking at night.


Features

What torso length should I get?

To find your torso length, measure the distance between your seventh cervical vertebra and the shelf of your hipbones. Do this by standing up straight with your feet shoulder-width apart. Tilt your head forward and place your hands on your hips, thumbs to the back. With a flexible tape, have someone measure from the most prominent vertebra at the base of your neck to an imaginary line drawn between your thumbs. This will be your torso length.

Nimbus Torso Lengths

Short Torso 14” to 18”
Regular Torso 18” to 22”
NOTE: Each framesheet has fine adjustment settings spaced in one inch increments to further fine-tune your fit. If you are an 18” torso try the short torso first.

What size hipbelt?

Our Ultralight Pack Belt is standard equipment on all of our Ultralight Packs (except Virga) and all packs with the Vapor Suspension. This belt is a “soft” belt. It has no plastic exoskeleton like our other belts. It is lighter and more comfortable when carrying smaller loads of 40 pounds or less. Although it is our simplest interchangeable belt, it still boasts the Pivot Point connection (except on Vapor Suspension Packs), hip stabilizers, dual density foam and a stretch woven fabric. (Not Available in XL Size)

Hip Belt Sizing
Small 26";-30";
Medium 30";-34";
Large 34";-38";
XLarge 38";-42";
Women's belts are sculpted to fit the increased angle of women's hips

What size shoulder strap?

For a truly custom fit on our Stratus and Nimbus packs you can swap out shoulder straps. To find the ideal shoulder strap size, measure your chest. Our shoulder straps fit both men and women well.

Shoulder Strap Sizing
Small 26";- 34";
Medium 34";- 40";
Large 40";- 46"
XLarge 46";- 52";

great pack

rated 5 of 5 stars
I was looking for a new pack that was going to as comfy as my old Dana pack. The staff at Prolitegear took great care of me. They measured my torso size and I found out that I had been using too big of a pack for years. I am 5' 11" I didn't think I was a small torso. Turns out I was. It is the most comfortable pack I have ever owned. After multiple trips in multiple states from: Washington, Oregon, Utah, Wyoming and Montana if have found it to be a very durable, well thought out pack. I really like the panel load feature. It was raining in the northwest, no surprise. I was able to sneak my tent out of the bottom of my pack without getting anything else wet. The only feature I don't understand is the "hip pack" option so I simply cut it out. This should be the standard by which all packs are judged.
