When it comes to washing your pack, hand washing works best. Simply soak your pack in warm water with a mild detergent. Take a soft-bristle scrubbing brush and gently scrub your pack clean. Hang your pack in a cool area to dry. There are many different gear-specific washes available at most specialty outdoor retailers. If you wish to wash your lumbar pack, you can do this in a Front Loading Washer, warm water, and mild detergent. Please do not use a machine with an agitator.

Once this coating wears off, the metal abrades quickly, and the zipper slider no longer joins the continuous plastic coils securely. The plastic coids then tend to separate behind the zipper slider. One of the keys to zipper longevity is to keep them free of sand and grit. Never step on your zipper, and clean them by washing them with a garden hose with a pressure nozzle. Also, it is important to know the expanding capacity of your pack. Over-loading your pack will put stress on your zippers and could cause failure.\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2021-01-06T08:59:37-07:00","sort_order":"manual","template_suffix":"","disjunctive":false,"rules":[{"column":"tag","relation":"equals","condition":"Shop: Hiking Backpacks"}],"published_scope":"web","image":{"created_at":"2021-01-06T11:26:32-07:00","alt":null,"width":2000,"height":797,"src":"\/\/mountainsmith.com\/cdn\/shop\/collections\/Backpacks-Hiking-collection.jpg?v=1609957593"}},{"id":420079927529,"handle":"mothers-day-sale","title":"Mothers Day Sale","updated_at":"2023-12-10T22:30:08-07:00","body_html":"","published_at":"2023-05-11T11:15:11-06:00","sort_order":"created-desc","template_suffix":"","disjunctive":false,"rules":[{"column":"variant_compare_at_price","relation":"less_than","condition":"1"}],"published_scope":"web"},{"id":260899471512,"handle":"pro-discount","title":"Non Discount Products","updated_at":"2023-12-10T22:30:08-07:00","body_html":"","published_at":"2021-03-02T07:58:45-07:00","sort_order":"alpha-asc","template_suffix":"","disjunctive":true,"rules":[{"column":"variant_compare_at_price","relation":"equals","condition":"0"},{"column":"is_price_reduced","relation":"is_not_set","condition":""}],"published_scope":"web"},{"id":234523721880,"handle":"products","title":"SHOP","updated_at":"2023-12-10T22:30:08-07:00","body_html":"\u003cstrong\u003ePlease choose a product type from the menu on the left to narrow down your selection.\u003c\/strong\u003e","published_at":"2021-01-17T11:44:24-07:00","sort_order":"alpha-asc","template_suffix":"","disjunctive":false,"rules":[{"column":"tag","relation":"equals","condition":"Shop"}],"published_scope":"web","image":{"created_at":"2021-01-17T11:41:41-07:00","alt":null,"width":2000,"height":797,"src":"\/\/mountainsmith.com\/cdn\/shop\/collections\/Shop_Category_Image_1-17-2021.jpg?v=1610908902"}},{"id":204574720152,"handle":"all","title":"Shop Mountainsmith","updated_at":"2023-12-10T22:30:08-07:00","body_html":"","published_at":"2020-07-01T13:47:23-06:00","sort_order":"best-selling","template_suffix":"","disjunctive":true,"rules":[{"column":"variant_price","relation":"greater_than","condition":"1"},{"column":"variant_inventory","relation":"greater_than","condition":"1"}],"published_scope":"web"},{"id":410073923817,"handle":"sitewide-sale","updated_at":"2023-12-10T22:30:08-07:00","published_at":"2022-09-01T13:42:32-06:00","sort_order":"manual","template_suffix":"","published_scope":"web","title":"Sitewide Sale","body_html":""},{"id":406700425449,"handle":"summer-collection","title":"Summer Collection","updated_at":"2023-12-10T22:30:08-07:00","body_html":"","published_at":"2022-06-23T12:25:07-06:00","sort_order":"best-selling","template_suffix":"","disjunctive":false,"rules":[{"column":"variant_inventory","relation":"greater_than","condition":"0"}],"published_scope":"web","image":{"created_at":"2022-06-30T09:00:29-06:00","alt":null,"width":1800,"height":660,"src":"\/\/mountainsmith.com\/cdn\/shop\/collections\/Mountainsmith_CollectionBanner_GearforSummer_1800x660_a696a826-f30e-49dd-965b-58d82c65a384.jpg?v=1656601230"}},{"id":269036748952,"handle":"summer-essentials","updated_at":"2023-12-10T22:30:08-07:00","published_at":"2021-06-07T16:57:51-06:00","sort_order":"manual","template_suffix":"","published_scope":"web","title":"Summer Essentials","body_html":""}]
The 2019 Mayhem 45 was created with Spectra® Fiber, an ultralight, ultra-strong fiber that puts the Mayhem at the top of its class for weight and durability. The Mayhem 45’s volume and its hybrid top and panel opening make it ideal for backpacking weekends, backcountry huts, the local crag, and far away hostels.
Why compromise when you don’t have to? The 2019 Mayhem 45 is ultralight, ultra-durable, and ultra-comfortable. Built with Spectra® Fiber, the pack offers a top tier strength-to-weight ratio. Used by military and law enforcement, Spectra® Fiber is an ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene known for its light weight strength and abrasion resistance properties. In the Mayhem 45, this means more efficient pack carry, more mileage, and a lifetime of adventures. Less pack weight also means more room for the essentials—like melted chocolate bars and squished PB&Js.
At 45 liters, the Mayhem 45 is designed for one to three night backpacking trips, backcountry huts trips, gear heavy days at the crag, and adventure travel. The hybrid top and panel opening offers easy access to the front of the pack, a must-have for tight environments and organized packing. Toss the Mayhem on your back and the hex-ridged EVA backpanel padding allows for omni-directional airflow while the sock-style shoulder strap construction prevents the straps from digging into your body. The Interfaced Waistbelt system is designed and patterned to flow into the backpanel allowing for a lightweight but intimate suspension fit and high levels of stability and comfort.
All Mountainsmith products come with the Forged for Life Guarantee, the official Mountainsmith lifetime warranty.
