HEAD OUT, ROLL YOUR ODOMETER, AND ENJOY EVERY STEP ALONG THE WAY

Travels on trails through environments all over the world led to the very intentional designs of our original and best-selling line up of hiking backpacks. And while there’s no hard and fast rules about how you use these essential pieces of gear once they’re yours, a little background on each one might help you choose the best match for the majority of your pursuits.

So, which one is right for the kind of shenanigans you want to get into?

START YOUR JOURNEY

WINDRIDER

For the kinds of classic wooded and mountainous hiking you’d encounter along the Appalachian Trail or in the Pacific Northwest, the Windrider is a perennial favorite. All three of the outer pockets are constructed with mesh for visibility of what’s inside while providing the maximum amount of ventilation for wet or fragrant gear.

SOUTHWEST

When the trail gets narrow and contact with the surroundings becomes inevitable, the three Hardline with Dyneema© outer pockets of the Southwest provide a substantial line of defense around the gear inside while also keeping the contents hidden from view–a potential benefit when the trail heads in town.

JUNCTION

The Junction gets dressed in a blend of the best attributes of the Windrider and Southwest pockets; Hardline with Dyneema© sides for abrasion resistance, and a mesh middle for visibility and ventilation. Its versatility makes it a great choice for hikers travelling through a wide variety of geography and climate zones.
