The 2400 Ice Pack is Hyperlite Mountain Gear's mountaineering-oriented take on its 40-liter platform, built from Dyneema Composite Hybrid DCH50/DCH150 fabric and finished only in white. At 964 grams it is heavier than the brand's thru-hiking packs in the same volume class, a trade-off that buys a more climbing-specific feature set: dual ice axe loops, load lifter straps, and a padded contact back panel mounted on aluminum stays for load transfer on technical terrain.
Storage is deliberately minimal — a single front pocket and no side pockets — keeping the exterior clean for roped travel and avoiding snag points on rock or ice. The roll-top main compartment closes without zippers, which the DCF fabric's inherent water resistance makes viable even without a full waterproof closure.
At roughly 24 grams per liter of capacity, the 2400 Ice Pack suits alpine climbers and mountaineers who need a 40-liter capacity for single-push routes or short expeditions and are willing to accept a narrower, simpler feature set than the brand's general trekking packs in exchange for climbing-specific attachment points.
