With Cordura® nylon reinforcement in high-wear areas, a double base, hydration compatibility and optional add-ons, this is a rucksack for years of happy exploration.
The EXACT FIT harness which is endorsed by the Australian Chiropractors Association
Our frames are made from high-grade, hardened aluminium, channelled to increase rigidity and hand-bent in Melbourne
WATERLOC® canvas is extremely water resistant and durable. It is designed for Australian conditions and made in Australia
Seams are bound with our four-fold binding, increasing both water resistance and durability
Double-layered base is reinforced with 750-denier Cordura® nylon for extra durability and increased abrasion resistance
Single-entry, top-loading system is classic for a reason – it just works
A huge front pocket (with larger, water-resistant side zip) gives easy access to important gear, even with equipment attached (skis, poles, crampons and more…)
Two hipbelt pockets included as standard
Dedicated snow-shovel pocket (fits a 25.5cm/10 inch wide blade) for quick access and secure storage
Wide front panel with shock cord allows you to pack with versatility and attach essential gear, while protecting your pack from the sharp points of crampons and snowshoes
Floating lid is a secure, robust, top compartment giving easy access to essential items, and allowing pack to be extended for extra space
Underlid pocket is discreet and accessible, ideal for valuables and must-have item
Internal compression straps under the lid secure gear and create a natural cavity: an ideal space for broad-brimmed hats
Side pockets at the base of the rucksack body (two on each side) increase versatility, packability and durability by reinforcing high-wear areas
Side compression straps allow you to compress your bag, keeping the weight close to your body. Side-release buckles allow the easy attachment of technical equipment
Large external water bottle pockets are low and within reach, allowing easy access and ergonomic weight distribution
Internal loop for securing your hydration bladder. Thread your hydration hose out the button-hole exit in the pack throat and choose your preferred side
