Likes: Light and simple
Dislikes: No zipped pockets
The Concept The 64Zer0 started life as a dedicated adventure race
sac weighing in at, you guessed it, 640 grammes, though to hit that
weight you need to remove the internal foam pad that offers some
cushioning for your back. With the introduction of the new Berghaus
Extrem Lite range , it''s undergone a subtle identity shift and
now does double duty as a lightweight walking day sac.
Features The pack''s
a simple sort of chappy. You get one main compartment with no pockets,
key fobs etc. plus five external mesh pockets, two hip-belt pockets,
a hydration system sleeve and outlet and a thin internal back pad,
which you can remove to save 60-odd grammes.
Most important, if you plan on moving quickly, there''s a version
of the ''Limpet'' compression system used on the award-winning Nitro
sac. It operates from two - reflective - pull tags at the hip and
tightens the back of the sac from four points.
Back system is simple wicking mesh which is also used on the ergonomically
curved shoulder straps, padding comes from that internal foam mat.
In Action With about
six months of use under its compression system, we''ve got to know
the 64Zer0 pretty well and for the most part it''s been a happy
relationship. It''s light, not the lightest pack out there, but
a pretty good compromise and a comfortable carry, though the thin
back padding means you need to be careful how you pack solid objects
with corners.
The compression system works well provided there''s enough in the
sac for it to grip onto, though it''s not as comprehensive as the
four-way, all-over grasp of the version on the smaller Nitro. We
also liked the way the relatively substantial padded hip belt added
comfort and stability when moving fast. Snug it all down and running
is no problem with everything feeling secure and stable.
The flat, simple figure-hugging back is never going to be as cool
as a vented, more substantial item, but the mesh fabric seemed to
wick okay and we never got really hot and bothered under duress.
We like the hydration facility and the mesh hip-belt pockets for
rapid access too, ditto the adventure-race style mesh stuff pockets
on the sides and back of the pack. One omission though is any sort
of internal pocket for keys, wallet, mobile phone etc. Maybe racers
don''t bother with these fripperies, but it''s the sort of little
luxury that walkers expect.
Verdict
A very neat, stable and secure-feeling lightweight day sac. The
fabric''s light but without the flimsy feel of some ultra-lightweight
race packs and we reckon it''ll handle day to day use without problems,
you even get a reinforced, double thickness base.
Back and compression systems both work well, though we''d leave
the foam pad in place, things are less comfy without it and it only
weighs 60 grammes anyway, and we liked both the mesh pockets in
the belt - great for snacks, compasses etc - and on the main body.
Hydration facility present and correct too.
It would have been nice to have an internal key pocket or fob and
if you''re one of those walkers who habitually carries trekking
poles on their pack, you might miss a dedicated pole holder, though
you can improvise with the side stuff pockets. Those are minor quibbles
though and as long as you''re not aiming to carry more than 30 litres
and keep the pack weight down, the 64Zer0 is a nicely thought out
and made sac that''s hard to fault.
