Perfect for everything from training days to 100 milers. This pack is light enough to take just to carry two flasks and a gel, but also super capable of carrying a full kit including a jacket, headlamp, first aid and plenty of snacks. The trademark Dynafit waterproof pouch is great for keeping your bandaids and tape dry, and could even keep your phone dry in a downpour. Easily adjustable with the bungee system.
The only downside is the pole system generally requires removing the pack for stowing, but I prefer to keep poles on a waist band anyway.
Dynafit's DNA line is their top-tier, fastest-paced, most performance-oriented pieces they can put together. The Vert 6 DNA pack fits right in with this crowd. With a close fit to the body, lightweight construction, and pockets for everything you could need during an epic race or day on the trail - this pack has definitely earned the DNA stamp. Two soft flask pockets on the front for up to 250ml bottles - combined with stash pockets on both hips - give easy access to both liquids and fuel. In case you need to carry a bit more for hydration, you can slip a reservoir into the back pocket and run the hose over either shoulder. The elastic closure and stretch material construction keep this pack from feeling like a boa constrictor trying to make you its next meal. A small, zippered pocket on the shoulder can carry a GPS, or possibly half an egg salad sandwich assuming you don't overstuff it. The 6L capacity is just the right size for quick strikes or stretches between aid stations. Coming in three sizes, you can get the fit juuuust right, Goldilocks style. Go ahead, take one for a spin and realize why the Vert 6 DNA pack is the crème de la crème of the racing world.
