Marmot has been building packs for many years, and the Kompressor Star represents its latest incarnation of the mid-size, fast-and-light model made to do it all. It measures about 22 x 11.5 x 9.5 inches, and inside its 28 liters of space are enough for gear-heavy hikes or lightweight all-day adventures. Overall, the pack is streamlined and smart in design. The pack weighs about 1lbs 10oz when empty, with an extra-thin 70d nylon as the main body but a tough reinforced 210d nylon in high-wear spots. Marmot touts “durability without the weight” for this model.

On the exterior, tool attachments, the noted compression straps, and a place to put trekking poles make the Kompressor Star usable for short ultralight backpacking trips and even fast mountaineering endeavors.
