"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.

This pack is well thought out with lots of pockets. I will say it does take some time to get used to a frameless fast pack after using a Gregory Juno framed pack for so many years! I took it up for an inaugural fast hike in the Rockies and I was pleased to say I had everything at my fingertips and I actually forgot I had it on a few times. You need to play with the straps a bit to get fit right and I can fit all my essentials to be safe for 15-20 km out on trail for the day. I tried to fit my backpacking gear but alas I am not that ultralight yet so this pack will have to do for day hikes! I am happy with this pack.
I've had the pack a little over a month now. Already had it on for three extended day hikes. Love it! Great fit! Great features! Heading out again this weekend. :)
So wanted this to work. I gave it a hike. Fully extended straps it won't fit. I hike everyday year round in New England., 6'2 210 lbs and fit. Do30 plus mile routes regularly and yes I've thru hiked using different packs. Not my first rodeo. This after waiting two weeks to ship sucks. Positive is... if you are a twit runner then maybe it would work. My partner was a medium, and shopped a S/M since they don't made a medium. I assume they guess. Since it doesn't fit her either. Save your time and order from anyone elese. Guess this should be a wake-up call. Return tomorrow they deceived you with sizing. And at my cost. Don't waste your money. Spend a few dollars more....
Excellent fast pack, light, durable and well thought out pockets and compartments.
This review comes from approximately 30, 10-50 miles jaunts with it this past year olus. So I have a lot of packs for any little variation of what I'm doing. I bought this pack to check off my ultralight fast packing box. I was just thru hiking the Superior Hiking trail (310 miles and my weight with water was 25 lbs. Kind of the upper limit with this pack.But would get lighter each day. I have always liked the collapsible water bottles, the strap pockets work well but the little bottles they provide need to be switched out right away. Great food and gps pockets as well. The top loading and roll up closure is solid and the big back stretchy pocket amd two side stretch pockets are amazing and really roomy. Very cool pouch under the pack too for my tiny therarest! Fits perfectly. There are a few design issues. Because of its narrow profile, the lower part of fhe straps connect around your body ( unless you're a 145 pound man or less) and that connection is very rough and rubs. No big deal for 3-4 hr hikes but anything longer you will gets sores. It like the problem the late 1990s old camelbaks had. Now the straps do prevent the packs from bouncing nicely but since the waist strap is for stability and not support it doesn't do the best job coupled with the mesh on the foam back pad is very slippery. That's a weird problem I've never experienced. So the pack slides back and forth a lot (but doesnt bounce) with more than 10 pounds in it. My abrasions were bloody this week. I know this stands out be cause of how light it is, but you will want to buy the strap on should pads. There is no padding at all and they cut in. Lastly, if you are using this for fast trekking or ultralight stuff, you'll sweat. The back padding is extremely minimal ( it's just thin foam) and it is full of hole.( not sure why, it doesn't let air through) and the pack is not water proof, so your sweat goes directly into the pack and whatever you're carrying.. I'd give this pack a B-.The pack is super light with good pockets but definitely lacks comfort just to "make weight". Don't be a gram counter and sacrifice prolonged comfort. This will be relegated to point of interest hikes from the car for now on.
