Waymark THRU vs EVLV: Choosing For Your Next Thru- …

Waymark THRU vs EVLV: Choosing For Your Next Thru-HikeAs an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases made on our website. In addition, we have many other affiliates offers on the site. If you’re looking for a new backpack for your next thru-hike, you’re in luck! Waymark has created two packs that are perfect for long-distance hikes. The THRU and the EVLV are both ultralight backpacks that have been designed with thru-hikers in mind. The main difference between the THRU and the EVLV is in the internal liters and in the dimensions of the pack with the THRU offering more space to store backpacking items and a framed option whereas the EVLV is one size frameless only. So, which one should you choose? Today, we’ll take a look at the differences between these two packs and help you decide which is the right one for you on your next long trek. Who is Waymark Gear? Waymark Gear is a US company based out of West Valley City, Utah that is committed to creating the best backpacking gear for thru-hikers. Their products are all made in the USA and they have a no questions asked lifetime warranty on all of their products. I first started to look at their packs when I was trying to find a daypack that was better quality than Walmart specials, I found it with them and the MILE. This shopping though led me to dig into the EVLV and THRU to see if I could make use of either for an actual full thru-hike pack. At first, I thought the 35L backpack was WAY too small and more aimed at just over day hiking to overnights but I found a video by Darwin on how he helped get the EVLV built for his thru-hikes so it changed my opinion on this greatly. Why Choose Waymark Gear? If you are looking for truly American-made, sewn, stitched, and care then Waymark Gear is the way to go. With their no questions asked warranty, you can feel good about your purchase and know that they will take care of any issues that come up on the trail. Their customer service has been amazing to work with as I’ve had a few questions during my search for the perfect backpack and they have responded quickly every time. I also love that they are an ultralight company as I am always looking to save weight where possible on my hikes without sacrificing comfort or safety. So, now that we’ve looked at the company let’s get into the differences between these two packs! The EVLV backpack was a work of love and a collaboration between the Outdoor Evolution and Waymark Gear, and it may be one of the fullest featured 35L backpacks available online. Looking to resolve the issues he had with many other lightweight packs Darwin was able to help craft one of the most loved minimalist packs on the market, which has now been enhanced with 2 choices of fabrics: ECOPAK and ULTRA. Benefits to the EVLV To make a full-featured backpack in a super small package required working hard to maximize the shape and size of every design issue and less on filling it with bells and whistles. Roll-Top Design As is becoming the near-standard in thru-hiking the ubiquitous roll-top is beloved and as expected makes an appearance here with straps that are long enough to hold a bear canister on top as required. Load Lifters Many small-volume packs lack load lifters as they expect your gear to be light enough to not need them, but when you are looking to support full weight loads and items like a bear canister getting the load just right is vital to comfort. Trekking Pole and Ice Axe Loops New for 2022 is the addition of loops for trekking poles with top anchors to hold them in place on the pack along with a loop for an ice ax if you should be on trails like the PCT, CDT, or other ice-filled trails making for easy carries. Drawbacks to the EVLV Issues…
