Hiking Backpack

Whether you're tackling a day walk in the Peak District or setting off on a multi-day trek across the Scottish Highlands, the right hiking backpack makes all the difference. Our range spans lightweight daypacks for afternoon rambles through to heavy-duty bergens built for week-long expeditions. Practical, durable, and designed to carry your load comfortably over the long haul.

How to Choose the Right Hiking Backpack

Match the volume to your trip. A 10-25L pack suits day hikes where you're carrying water, snacks, and a spare layer. Weekend trips with a night in a bothy or refuge call for 30-50L. For wild camping in full autonomy, look at 55L and above.

Prioritise the suspension system. A well-designed back panel and hip belt transfer weight from your shoulders to your hips, reducing fatigue over distance. Look for adjustable torso lengths and padded hip belts that take the strain on longer walks.

Check the weight. Modern materials mean you needn't carry a heavy pack before you've even loaded it. For a 60L rucksack, anything under 2kg is considered lightweight.

Consider access and organisation. Top-loading packs offer simplicity and durability. Panel-access designs let you reach gear mid-pack without unpacking everything. Side pockets, hip belt pockets, and compression straps help distribute and secure your load.

Think about durability. Higher denier fabrics resist abrasion from rocks and branches. Reinforced bases and quality zips extend the life of your pack across hundreds of miles.
