Backpacks and Rucksacks

From fast and light daypacks to high-capacity multi-day rucksacks, our hiking range covers everything from a quick hill day to a week in the mountains. The Gnarl 15 is our go-to lightweight daypack for the hills. The Ledge 35 and Orion 45 carry comfortably over longer distances. For extended expeditions and big mountain objectives, the Pacific Crest 55–65 provides the capacity and support you need. Not sure which size is right? Our guide to choosing the right backpack size covers it.

Running Packs & Hydration Vests

Designed to move with you, not against you. The Artlu 10 hydration vest sits close to the body with minimal bounce for trail running and fast hiking. The Vora 6 waist pack keeps essentials accessible on shorter runs and rides. Both work with our Bota hydration bladder.

Waterproof Backpacks

When kit needs to stay dry regardless of conditions, the Gourdon is our answer. Available in 20L and 30L, it uses welded seams and a roll-top closure to keep everything inside protected. No additional pack cover needed. A strong choice for cycling, kayaking, hillwalking in sustained rain, or any trip where getting wet is not an option.

Climbing & Technical Packs

Our climbing packs are designed for the specific demands of technical objectives: ice axe loops, helmet carry, gear organisation and a profile that doesn't catch on rock. The Gnarl 15 is a proven crag pack. The Presta 25 works for longer days with more gear. Our UK-made climbing packs are built here at our Nottingham workshop — an option for anyone who wants to know exactly where their kit comes from.
