But what is the point of making a backpack from just one material, you might ask?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe idea started from a sentence I read many years ago in \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/archive.org\/details\/beyondbackpackin0000jard\"\u003e\u003ci\u003eBeyond Backpacking\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e by Ray Jardine. In a section about equipment, Ray reflects on how mesh fabrics, even if they look transparent and light, are often significantly heavier than traditional fabrics. So we asked ourselves: why not create a “mesh” from the same main fabric, laser-cut, combining the advantages of both?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0957\/8079\/8791\/files\/11.jpg?v=1771951216\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThanks to this solution, we managed to achieve extremely low weights. We reached a 40L backpack with \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/rayonvert.international\/blogs\/news\/lizard-backpack-news-for-2022-hiking-season?_pos=1\u0026amp;_sid=282afcd19\u0026amp;_ss=r\"\u003eMUTATED shoulder straps\u003c\/a\u003e (double pockets on each side) at only 435g (!!) in the ULTRA 200 version when using meshes in the ultralight backpacks market was the standard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStarting from this original idea (which was the base of the first version) for the Lizard Backpack V2 we completely rethink it, improving everything that was missing before. We began with the front pocket. We enlarged it by adding a box pleat that significantly increases its volume while remaining compact when empty. The laser-cut holes are now positioned only on the upper section so that small items (like tent stakes) don’t fall out or get stuck at the bottom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThen we moved to the shoulder straps. \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0957\/8079\/8791\/files\/WEB-LizardV2-ULTRA_03.jpg?v=1770647048\"\u003eWe completely redesigned their shape\u003c\/a\u003e to make them ergonomic, adding a running-vest–inspired yoke that gives the backpack a more “locked-in” fit, making it much more stable when needed (especially during fast downhills). We also increased strap breathability and improved the on-body feel by adding a micromesh (here we accepted a small compromise).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe real revolution, however, lies in the load lifters: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0957\/8079\/8791\/files\/WEB-LizardV2-ECOPAK_11.jpg?v=1771943790\"\u003ecompletely redesigned\u003c\/a\u003e, lighter, less bulky, and now fully adjustable while wearing the backpack. Depending on the terrain (uphill or downhill), they allow you to shift the load from the shoulders to the lumbar area in seconds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0957\/8079\/8791\/files\/YURI-WALK-LASER_01_copy.jpg?v=1771954850\" alt=\"\"\u003eStrap pockets have been redesigned as well, now more spacious and secure. Under them, we added two removable \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0957\/8079\/8791\/files\/RV_Lizard_Backpack_07_8.jpg?v=1771948382\"\u003ebungee loops to attach accessories\u003c\/a\u003e like trekking poles when you need your hands free or when the terrain becomes easier. This solution was born during our first \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/rayonvert.international\/blogs\/news\/tmb2018-mission-expedition-part-one?_pos=2\u0026amp;_sid=979de8617\u0026amp;_ss=r\"\u003eTour du Mont Blanc\u003c\/a\u003e and has been used in every expedition since. Having your hands free without removing the backpack becomes extremely valuable when trying to minimize stops. During our latest trips (for example in \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/rayonvert.international\/blogs\/news\/hiking-trips-and-tips-n-7-lessinia-high-route?_pos=1\u0026amp;_sid=5da9bd7e4\u0026amp;_ss=r\"\u003eLessinia\u003c\/a\u003e), storing poles in the bungees and eating while walking allowed us, without running, to significantly reduce overall times.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRegarding the backpack body: the shape has been made more ergonomic without changing the capacity and dimensions, which were already perfect in previous models. The 34L main body allows you to carry a full ultralight 3-season setup with 4–5 days of food in all conditions. We used the Lizard in alpine environments like \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=EwiuX9tnVn4\"\u003eAlta Via 2 in the Dolomites\u003c\/a\u003e (with full safety kit), in Lapland on the Kungsleden with 150 km stretches without resupply, on the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/rayonvert.international\/blogs\/news\/gr-20-2019-what-a-time-to-be-alive-trail-recap?_pos=1\u0026amp;_sid=e8c571a9d\u0026amp;_ss=r\"\u003eGR20 unsupported\u003c\/a\u003e, and in many other situations, including winter conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInside the main compartment we added a \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0957\/8079\/8791\/files\/RV_Lizard_Backpack_07_6.jpg?v=1771952532\"\u003eback sleeve\u003c\/a\u003e where you can store your sleeping pad (both foam or inflatable). This helps keep it in position when gear shifts inside the pack and protects your back from hard objects. The sleeve also includes a hook for a hydration bladder and an exit port to route the hose to the shoulder straps. For those who also use the backpack in the city, the sleeve is designed to fit a 14” laptop as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe side pockets have been raised, angled, and enlarged for better functionality. They can be adjusted while wearing the backpack thanks to the cordlock positioning. In the same way, the front pocket closure can be adjusted while wearing the pack and also acts as a compression strap. On the bottom, we added additional bungees to attach anything, from a seat pad to ice axes or foam sleeping pads.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003e\u003cb\u003eSIZE GUIDE\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"100%\" style=\"width: 100%;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 32.790695%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 32.965114%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 32.965114%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eL\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 32.790695%;\"\u003eTorso (cm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 32.965114%;\"\u003e\u0026lt;. 43\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 32.965114%;\"\u003e\u0026lt; 48\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 32.790695%;\"\u003eHeight (cm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 32.965114%;\"\u003e155~175\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 32.965114%;\"\u003e170~195\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLizard is designed primarily around torso length rather than height alone.\u003cbr\u003eAs a general guideline:\u003cbr\u003e— \u003cb\u003eSize S\u003c\/b\u003e is recommended for users with torso size shorter than 43cm\u003cbr\u003e— \u003cb\u003eSize L\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eis recommended for users with torso size shorter than 48cm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHow to Measure Back Length\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1.
