"While it combines elements of packs from different sports, I wouldn’t call the Skyline a true hybrid — it’s far more focused than that. Instead, it’s a purpose-built fastpack that happens to excel at peak bagging, ridge scrambling, and speed hiking.
On top of that, it’s a well-executed product, plain and simple." -Gear Junkie
"the Outdoor Vitals Skyline Fastpack is the perfect choice for carrying a minimalist kit on a fair-weather overnight run. Its purpose-built, extra low volume chassis sits high on the back, all but completely eliminating bounce and sway while on the move. This pack is fast!" -Adventure Alan & Co
"I found this highly unique for those wanting to take longer faster trips where you can minimize gear but cover far more miles." -Thruhiker.co
"This shoulder harness suspension system hugs your body snugly but still allows you full range of motion for all-day comfort. Another first-class release from the guys at Outdoor Vitals." -The Coolector
"This, right here, feels good! Feels really, really good." -Engearment
The Issue With Other Fastpacks
We tried out nearly every fastpack on the market. And in one way or another, every pack was a disappointment:
Some bounced uncomfortably while in motion, others caused excessive rubbing & chafing, & others just didn’t have the right features to give us access to gear when we needed it most.
After nearly two years of intensive development, thousands of miles of rigorous testing & development, the Skyline 30 Fastpack is finally here.

Fit and comfort are excellent. Snug without being restrictive. Didn't throw off my balance and stayed in place without perpetual adjustments. 10/10
This is by far my favorite pack. I have taken out on multiple trips now. It carries well, so long as it's packed well. One gripe I have with it is the shoulder strap design. The edges of the straps drive into my body after a long eight hour hike. Once I take my shirt off and look at my chest I can see red marks from the edges of the straps. I don't know how else this could be reinforced, perhaps more padding as that is simply nonexistent in the straps. However, I don't usually have a problem with this until it's been an eight hour plus hike. I've yet to stretch it out on other trips, such as one nighters and trail running missions, though I am excited to put it to the test for this summer. Regardless, it did pass the winter season, which is primarily why I got it. How will it hold up on a running mission? I think fairly well. I'm giving it a four out of five because the comfort is there until I spend a long time in it which is what it's ment for. Other than that though, I feel like a race car out there. I never have to stop for a single thing. All of what I need is on my chest. Additionally with the upgrades I made in the water flasks, I get water so easily, it's awesome! Very nice pack.
Hiking, trail running, carry on travel. This pack does it all!!!
I've used the Skyline 30 Fastpack several times now, and have found it to be comfortable and durable. The pack didn't bounce, and it provided plenty of pack space. I used the pack in light/medium rain, and the water beaded up on the surface, which was really great. The only part of the pack that became soaked was the stretch pocket, but that wasn't a big problem.
I had never used a pack with this style of shoulder straps before, so I was a bit skeptical about whether the straps would be comfortable and easy to use. After using the pack, I found that the straps were indeed comfortable, and while certainly not as comfortable as the straps on my full-size pack due to the minimalist padding, the straps functioned as expected, did not chafe or bind, and never presented any problems.
The only recommendation I have for improvement, is to make the two bottle pockets on the shoulder straps a bit larger, as I found that it was difficult to push a full Hydrapak Soft Flask all the way down to the bottom of the pocket without having some water squirt out.
I highly recommend the Skyline 30 Fastpack, and I look forward to taking the pack on multi-day adventures in the backcountry.
The skyline 30 Fastpack works great for being light, strong, and hugging your body. Great design O.V.
