Aeyu Ghosted Gear Back Pack.
Ether Forged Backpacks: Ultralight Durability for Extreme Environments
Forged from decades of technical wisdom, Ether Forged backpacks provide an ethereally lightweight solution built to withstand the toughest vertical environments.
Available Sizes
Aeyu- Small Pack 30 L 535 g (Not Including hip belt 130 g)
Sophisticated Features for Extreme Conditions
Leonardo da Vinci once said, "Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication." Backpacks may seem simple—a place to store your rope, helmet, harness, hardware, food, water, and extra gear—but the vertical world is unforgiving.
Explorers tackling off width desert sandstone towers, cavers squeezing through impossibly tight passageways, and canyoneers grinding through narrow slot cracks all face the same harsh reality: abrasive rock can destroy even the most rugged gear.
Many premium packs built with legacy Nylon 66 fail under intense abrasion, and swell and become flimsy in water. You pay for costly construction too many bells and whistles and weight with the Nylon66 and TPU failing long before their intended lifespan.
The Ether Forged Ltd. Ghosted Line
Ether Forged’s Ghosted Line features Challenge Sailcloth Ultra 800X, a cutting-edge fabric that delivers the best balance of weight and abrasion resistance. While conventional nylon packs struggle under extreme wear, Ultra 800X is 8× more expensive than standard nylon—but it delivers superior durability in the harshest environments.
Key Advantages
High Abrasion Resistance—Built to withstand brutal rock friction better than standard nylon.
Ultralight Performance—Weighing in at 900 g, this pack is significantly lighter than most high-capacity canyoneering backpacks.
Removable Lid—Pack your food and water separately and attach the lid to the main pack when needed.
Modular Hip Belt—Detach the hip belt and attach it to the removable lid, allowing you to leave the full pack behind when necessary.
Superior Drainage—Strategically placed holes allow rapid water drainage, ensuring your gear stays functional in wet conditions.
Expanding Capacity—Designed for efficient overstuffing, so you can maximize load capacity when needed.
Tether Strap—Prevents the pack from flipping upside down during long rappels.
Removable Bag Liner—Added durability and protection for your essential gear.
Perfect Fit for the Ghosted Rope Bag
The Ether Forged Ghosted Rope Bag is designed to drop seamlessly into the pack’s interior, providing an efficient, secure way to manage and protect your rope system in technical terrain. Together, these two products form an unbeatable combination for canyoneers, climbers, and adventurers seeking lightweight performance without sacrificing durability.
Advanced Materials: Challenge Ultra 800X
At the heart of this pack is Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE) fiber, engineered through a gel-spun extrusion process that aligns long polyethylene chains along a molecular backbone. This technology produces the lightest and strongest commercially available fibers—boasting a tensile strength 15× greater than steel.
Ultra 800X Woven Fabric: Stronger than 1000D Mil-Spec Cordura, delivering unmatched abrasion resistance.
Composition: A hybrid 800D Ultra-PE face blended with high-tenacity polyester and backed with a 0.5mil RUV film, ensuring superior durability.
Performance Ratings:
Tear Strength (ATSM D2261): Warp: 250+ lb. | Fill: 250+ lb.
Abrasion Resistance (ATSM 3884): 16,000+ cycles
Designed for Technical Vertical Pursuits
Whether tackling rugged canyons, tight caving passageways, or sheer rock faces, Ether Forged backpacks deliver unmatched durability and adaptability.
Optimized for:
Canyoneering & Canyoning (This pack is designed for rugged performance and does not float.)
Caving—Built to survive tight squeezes and intense rock wear.
Climbing & Ice Climbing—Strong enough for the harshest alpine environments.
Ski Mountaineering—Ultralight but rugged for demanding expeditions.
How It Stacks Up Against the Competition
Compared to standard canyoneering packs, Ether Forged backpacks deliver:
30–40% lighter weight than most competitors, while offering up to 70L of storage.
Greater abrasion resistance, outperforming traditional Nylon 66 materials.
More modular features, with a removable lid, hip belt, and customizable expansion options.
Faster drainage, making it ideal for wet environments where water management is critical.
