Brevent is our 22 litre natural fibre backpack for mountain walking and travel. It was inspired by the mountain packs of our childhood idols, but with practical touches that make it handy for day-to-day use too.

Waxed cotton is a naturally hard-wearing and water resistant
Cushioned back panel and padded shoulder straps
Zipped outer pocket, inner valuables and mesh bottle pockets

We've used dry waxed cotton, a cotton canvas imbued with wax to give it natural water resistance and a supple feel. Waxed cotton is lightweight and incredibly durable, which is why it’s been used over the centuries for everything from sailcloth to garments for farmers. It's also why we’ve used to it make mountain daypacks suitable for day-in, day-out use.

Brevent features a buckle and loop flap closure, with a drawstring collar that lets you stuff that extra layer in that you thought wouldn’t fit. There's a zipped pocket in the lid for stuff you need to get to quickly (your head torch, compass, keys…) and two bellow-style side pockets with compression straps for your water bottles.

A soft padded back support makes it really comfortable to carry, with a sternum strap and hip belt that help to distribute the load across your torso.

Created by our factory team here, on the edge of the Peak District, the Tyrol is designed to be hardwearing and enduring: all buckles are aluminium, stress-points are bar-tacked and seams bound. We know how important a dependable backpack is, so you’ve also got the reassurance of a 25 year Alpine Bond warranty just in case.
