FEATURES

The Catalyst remains our tried and true workhorse of the ULA Pack line. If you head out on a National Scenic Trail, the chance of running into someone with a Catalyst on their back is pretty high. As such, the Catalyst is a great choice for multi-month treks, winter travels, or for folks transitioning down from monster packs into lighter loads.

For 2009 we re-designed the side mesh pockets, re-positioned the shoulder strap anchors, and made the optional twin aluminum stays a standard feature.

Bottom Line? A tried and true veteran for lightweight and long distance hikers.

SIZING

To accurately measure your torso length for a correct pack fit, grab a buddy and follow the steps below...

1- Standing upright, tilt your chin to your chest. Locate the largest lump on the back of your neck. This is your #7 vertebrae. It should be located close to the base of your neck proper.

2- From the #7 vertebrae, measure (with the flexible tape) down the length and natural curvature of your spine to the crest of your hipbones (iliac crest). This measurement in inches is your torso length.

Small: 15"-17"
