Frequently Asked Questions
Is a 60-litre rucksack a good size?
Yes, if you're heading out on multi-day self-sufficient treks or carrying bulky gear. For a weekend trip or a lighter outing, a 40 to 50L rucksack will be easier to handle and less tempting to overload.
What's the ideal rucksack volume for a hike?
20L for a day out, 30 to 40L for a weekend away, 50 to 70L for self-sufficiency on the trail. The 60L is aimed at longer trips, when you want some breathing room without jumping up to expedition-sized packs.
Is the 60L suitable for both women and men?
Yes : it comes in a long back length or a short back length with shaped straps. Choosing the version suited to your build makes all the difference to comfort when you're carrying a heavy rucksack over several days.
How to carry a 60-litre rucksack in comfort
First adjust the hip belt so it sits on your hips, then the shoulder straps and load lifters. An adjustable, ergonomic back system and a well-balanced load — heavy items close to your back — keep your pack stable and comfortable to carry, mile after mile.
