The Hill People Gear Highlander is designed to serve dual duty as a compression panel using the optional Compression Kit or as a stand alone backpack with a single zip design similar to the Tarahumara.
It can be mounted to a variety of frames as a compression panel including those from Kifaru and as well as the old external frame from Dana Designs. Additionally, it has a padded back and can be worn alone using an optional harness. Below, you can see the Compression Kit.
The Highlander will be available in late April in Ranger Green, Coyote, and Foliage Green starting at $135. Shoulder harnesses and Compression Kits will also be available in all three colors. For more info visit www.hillpeoplegear.com.

Good stuff!
Just curious – anybody have any idea what that parka is that is being worn in the top photo? Kind of looks like a N-3B (the hood), but the cut looks a little different. Thanks!
It is a Patagonia Dimension Softshell with a coyote ruff added.
Yeah that looks very functional. Could put some meat in that bastard.
” Could put some meat in that bastard” best thing ive heard all day nicely put. Another practial product, functional and also multifunctional with the capabilities to fit onto a veriaety of frames. Good job. definatly a good range of possibilities. Although it would be nice to see HPG make or get made some tough rectangular dry bags like the one above in a few sizes as the sea to summit bag looks like a good carry option but yellow, orange and the other bright colours are not that great outdoor colours in this useage.
