The Ultra Kompressor boasts many of the same features as the Kompressor Star, including removable waistbelt, zippered lid compartment, and air mesh shoulder straps and back panel for breathability and comfort. With a base weight of just 1 pound, 2.5 ounces, the Ultra Kompressor is even lighter than its big brother, but you won’t sacrifice when it comes to durability. The main body of the pack is manufactured with 70-denier, 210-thread count Nylon Ripstop and is reinforced using 210-Denier Nylon Double Ripstop. The lining of the pack is engineered with 135-denier polyester. But seriously, that’s still a lot of space for the more relevant gear that you’ll actually need! So, for our hockey fans out there, you could fit the equivalent of 200 standard-sized hockey pucks inside this pack in preparation for your next pond hockey outing. The Kompressor Star’s little brother offers a gear capacity of 20-liters or 1,350 cubic inches. At an outstanding starting price of just $99, the Kompressor Star has led many happy customers to claim it as “the best bang for your buck!” Side mesh pockets allow for convenient water bottle storage while the pack’s removable waist belt makes it fully customizable for your comfort and optimum function. Dual trekking pole attachment locations allow you to go hands-free when you most desire. The external mesh pocket allows you to store items that you’ll want to get to without having to dig around inside the pack. The Kompressor Star boasts a wrap-around zipper that provides simple access to your pack’s contents. The unique combination of fabrics makes the Kompressor Star an excellent option for lightweight durability. While the pack can hold up to 1,710 cubic inches of gear, it only weighs a very light 1 pound, 10 ounces when empty, meaning you won’t be carrying any extra weight as you hike through even the harshest of winter conditions. The main body of the pack is engineered from 100% 70-denier Nylon Ripstop fabric and reinforced with 210-Denier Nylon Double Ripstop while the pack’s interior consists of 135-denier polyester. The only thing I wasn’t sure about was the removable webbing waist belt which is very rudimentary and doesn’t give a lot of support with heavier loads, but I guess this is the kind of trade off you have to make if you want a superlight pack.With a 28-liter capacity, the Marmot Kompressor Star is a great pack for day trips or even a lightweight overnight winter adventure. The preformed shape of the pack and directional foam channelling on the back panel and shoulder straps allows for maximum air flow when being used, and in use the Kompressor feels both light yet stable. There’s yet more storage space on the outside in the form of two side water bottle pockets and a large external stash pocket. Inside this there’s a hydration sleeve and port and a zipped mesh pocket for valuables (there’s also a second zipped pocket in the lid). Whatever you do put into it is very easily accessed thanks to the generous-sized, multi-directional zipper on the main compartment, which makes both packing and accessing your gear a cinch. It focusses on using the lightest but most durable materials possible, with an unladen weight of 770g, and Marmot reckon you can actually get enough gear for a two- to four-day outing into the pack.
