BUILT TO EXPLORE
When you're on the move, be it on urban commutes, manoeuvring through airports, or wading waist-deep in water, you need the right bag that's built to keep up. Our full suite of durable backpacks features varying degrees of rugged materials, organisational capabilities, and ergonomic shoulder straps, because we believe your backpack should not only be built for the wild, but inspire new ways to test it.

Toughness To Go
We have four categories of packs to get you where you need to go, each suited to meet the demands at hand. Ranchero™ Backpacks are built for the everyday where you’re on the move. Crossroads® Backpacks are built for travel — from overnights to overheads. Panga® Waterproof bags are built for water, holding up in downpours and deep wading. And Skala™ Hiking Packs are built for day-long hikes to your favourite peak or multi-day treks thru the backcountry. No matter the backpack, you can trust it features smart design, our most durable materials, and is built for a comfortable carry.

Here are a few questions to consider
- LOOKING FOR AN EVERYDAY PACK?
Ranchero™ Backpacks are built for day-in, day-out use, keeping you prepped and ready for wherever the week takes you. Thoughtful internal organization offers a place for everything, including a laptop sleeve, smaller stash pockets, and plenty of room for bulkier items like climbing or gym shoes. - NEED A TRAVEL BACKPACK?
Crossroads® Backpacks offer a range of sizes in sturdy builds, all designed to get you comfortably from point A to point B with everything you’ve packed remaining organized, accessible, and protected. Designed for long-haul flights and loose itineraries, Crossroads® Backpacks are your comfortable, reliable, and versatile travel backpacks. - VENTURING INTO WATER?
Panga® Waterproof Backpack is 100% waterproof and fully submersible, meaning this bag can hold its own and keep your gear bone dry in any weather and on any adventure. Waterproof construction from seams to zipper won’t give up a drop, and adventure-grade materials make this bag nearly impenetrable even when being dragged across rugged terrain. - GOING ON A DAY HIKE OR MULTI-DAY TREK?
The ultra-durable Skala™ Hiking Pack is over-engineered to deliver supreme comfort, easy access to your gear, and micro adjusts to fit torsos small and tall. Available in three sizes, the 32 litre and the 40 litre are ideal for short hikes to your favorite peak or day-long pushes to remote overlooks. The 50 litre is perfect for weekend camping trips in the backcountry.
