Simple framed pack

ULA Circuit

ULA · Upper mid · About 2 lb 6 oz

A straightforward pack with a real frame, big pockets, and less marketing on the harness.

As an Amazon Associate, Trailkit Outdoor earns from qualifying purchases. Full disclosure

The Circuit carries a moderate load well and gets clumsy if you overload it like an expedition pack. The shoulder-strap pockets and the side pockets are why people keep it. Fit the torso. A good pack in the wrong size is still a bad pack.

Who should buy it. Weekend and week-long hikers with moderate loads.

Best for. Hikers who want a framed pack without a bulky hip belt

Standout limitation. The frame is lighter duty than an Atmos
