Both of these materials are treated with PFAS-free DWR (durable water repellent) to encourage water to bead off the fabric and provide reliable water resistance for unpredictable weather; however, please be aware that this doesn't make it fully waterproof! Our team are working extended hours to get through this as quickly as possible, we ask you to be patient during this busy time.

Extra-tall stretch mesh pockets are versatile and secure contents such as water bottles without having them take up valuable room in the main compartment. It sits a little higher than I’m used to, but this hip belt isn’t there for weight transfer like you get with the heavier load luggers.International products have separate terms, are sold from abroad and may differ from local products, including fit, age ratings, and language of product, labeling or instructions. This means the brand has sourced factories who have passed an audit, so their worker rights, environmental impact and social compliance is up to scratch.

A tensioned mesh back panel keeps up airflow between the pack and your back and the minimalist design provides easy use.Our organic dyes and pigments are mostly bio-sourced, our clothing is PFC free, and our fabrics are Bluesign® or Oeko-Tex® certified.

Designed to fit everything you need for a day’s hike/ride/run it has simple easy to use storage with space to stash your valuables (scratch-free pocket), additional layers (shove-it pocket) and water bottles/snack bars (Powermesh pockets™). A useful front top pocket made from scratch-free fabric is big enough for sunglasses, phone, windshirt and gloves and has a key clip as well as tiny pocket which could be used for stowing keys but is too small and fiddly for most phones.

If I have a couple of niggles, it’s a – albeit detachable- waist strap that’s not very long, making it unsuitable for larger hikers, and the zipped access at the top does make it easier for rain to get in if there’s a sudden downpour. A tensioned mesh backpanel keeps the weight off your back, enabling highly ventilated carrying comfort. A fixed BioStretch harness uses elastic binding that delivers maximum flexibility without compromising stability for dynamic movement when scrambling or hiking steep ascents.bluesign® approval ensures strict pollution control and consumer safety standards are met through manufacturing.
