Hiking & Walking Rucksacks

RUCKSACKS FOR MEN AND WOMEN

When a backpack isn't enough, our walking rucksacks have plenty of extra storage space, perfect for storing all your essentials on your next long-distance trek. In addition, you can be sure that our waterproof rucksacks will provide maximum comfort, as their adjustable shoulder and torso straps allow you to carry your luggage easily.

HIKING RUCKSACK

A reliable hiking rucksack is essential for any long-distance walk. Your rucksack should enable you to carry your gear easily all day, making the most of your journey without putting strain on your muscles. Our 25L-45L hiking bags are best suited to relaxed walking holidays, while our backpacks of 65L and above are ideal for high-intensity expeditions. So whether you'll be taking advantage of baggage transfers or carrying your belongings all day, we have a range of walking rucksacks in varying sizes designed to perform outdoors.

CAMPING RUCKSACK

When choosing a camping rucksack, consider how much gear you will carry. You'll need enough room for your tent, sleeping bag, and cooking equipment, so it's important to invest in a rucksack that can handle the weight of all your belongings. It's also worth thinking about the duration of your camping adventure, as the longer you stay in the wilderness, the more equipment you will need. A 45L or 65L camping backpack is a popular choice with Trespass campers. Finally, ensure you're prepared for the elements with a rucksack with a waterproof cover designed to protect your belongings when the weather is less favourable.

TRAVEL RUCKSACK

The best travel rucksack is one that allows for freedom of movement on your journey. When adjusted correctly, the bag distributes the weight evenly across your body, reducing the pressure and making for a stress-free hands-free experience. A small rucksack is perfect for hand luggage, ideally around 44 x 40 x 25cm. However, you should always check your airline's restrictions before travelling. Then, jet off in comfort with one of our supportive travel neck pillows, designed to attach to your rucksack and add a sense of bliss to your next journey.

How do I choose a rucksack?

Ask yourself what the rucksack is for - what features do you need? There is a wide range of styles and sizes depending on the type of adventure. The 25L rucksack is ideal for summer day hikes - whereas the 65L bags are great for alpine treks or long-distance walks. There are a few key features to look out for:

Material

Always look for water-resistant material, or buy a waterproof cover to go over your rucksack. You can always prepare for a sudden downpour.

Size

The size of your backpack should reflect the type of adventure you're going on. There's no use carrying the extra weight of a 45L rucksack if you only pack a few essential items.

Fit

Checking your rucksack fits well is essential. Read our rucksack fitting guide for a full explanation of fitting.

Each of our rucksacks is different and has its unique features. For example, some have compression straps or a hip belt – great for posture and fitting. So shop our range online and find the perfect rucksack for your next big adventure.
