Pacific Crest 55L
$84.99 $109.99
Pacific Crest 55L is a 55-litre hiking backpack that'll hold everything you need on self-supported backpacking trips, trekking holidays and long-distance footpaths.
Designed to give the essential features for trekking over multiple days with a low starting pack weight so you can carry more kit and less pack. A lightweight foam, carefully selected fabric and removal of unnecessary features seen in some hiking backpacks has kept the weight under 2kg without compromising performance, durability or comfort.
Organising your kit is easy with an array of pockets that can be accessed without removing the pack. Comfort comes from the fully adjustable back system with large air vents for airflow.
Pacific Crest 55L has a durable construction that's reinforced in high wear areas. The waterproof fabric provides a high level of water resistance and separate rain cover stows in the base of the pack.

How It Is Made
PFC-free DWR
We've used a PFC-free durable water repellent (DWR) on the outer fabric. PFCs are potentially harmful and have been found to build up in the environment.
Gear you'll love for longer
Increasing the lifespan of your kit reduces its environmental impact. We've use 420D ripstop nylon and 600D reinforced nylon for increased durability

We have joined the Science Based Targets Initiative which sets independent targets for us to achieve to do our bit to limit global warming to 1.5°C. Our targets are to halve our Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 2025 based on 2018 base year and reduce our total carbon intesnity by 15% every year to achieve genuine net zero by 2050.

How to measure
Step 1 - Tilt your head forward and find your C7 vertebrae (a.k.a. the bone that sticks out at the bottom of your neck between your shoulders).
Step 2 - Place your hands on top of your hip bone with your fingers facing forwards and your thumbs pointing across your back.
Step 3 - Now measure from your C7 vertebrae, down to the point that meets the line between your thumbs.
Step 4 - Reference this measurement with the above size guide and if your measurement fits within those parameters.
