Hiking Backpacks

Shop hiking backpacks for a reliable, comfortable, and well-organised way to carry everything you need on the trail. Durable, weather-resistant, and built for the outdoors — suitable for day hikers, weekend walkers, and seasoned trekkers tackling everything from gentle countryside walks to challenging mountain terrain. Whether you're heading out for a few hours on a local trail, embarking on a multi-day backcountry adventure, or planning a hiking holiday abroad, a hiking backpack is the essential piece of kit that keeps you prepared, comfortable, and ready for whatever the trail throws at you.

Built for the Outdoors & Designed to Last

A hiking backpack is purpose-built for the demands of the trail — and it shows in every detail. Constructed from tough, abrasion-resistant fabrics with reinforced stitching, robust zips, and hardwearing hardware, hiking backpacks are engineered to withstand the punishment of regular outdoor use across a wide range of terrains and conditions. Whether you're scrambling over rocky paths, pushing through dense woodland, or navigating exposed ridgelines in changeable weather, a well-made hiking backpack holds up to everything the outdoors has to offer — trip after trip, season after season.

Weather-Resistant Protection for Your Gear

When you're out on the trail, the weather can change quickly — and your backpack needs to be ready for it. Hiking backpacks are crafted from water-resistant and weatherproof materials that protect your clothing, food, navigation equipment, and emergency kit from rain, wind, and the damp conditions that come with outdoor adventures. Many models include integrated rain covers for additional protection during heavy downpours, ensuring your gear stays dry and functional no matter what the forecast has in store. When you're miles from shelter, knowing your kit is protected makes all the difference.

The Right Capacity for Every Adventure

Hiking backpacks come in a wide range of capacities to suit every type of outing — from compact 20-litre daypacks for shorter walks and day hikes to generous 45-70 litre expedition packs for multi-day treks and overnight adventures. A 20-30 litre daypack comfortably carries water, snacks, a first aid kit, a waterproof layer, and navigation essentials for a full day on the trail. Larger 40-70 litre models provide ample space for sleeping bags, tents, cooking equipment, and several days' worth of clothing and supplies — everything you need for an extended backcountry adventure without a resupply point in sight.

Ergonomic Comfort for Long Days on the Trail

Comfort on the trail starts with the right backpack fit — and hiking backpacks are engineered to deliver it. Adjustable, padded shoulder straps, contoured hip belts, and load-transfer frames work together to distribute the weight of a fully packed backpack evenly across your body — reducing strain on your shoulders, back, and hips during long days on the trail. Breathable mesh back panels and ventilated suspension systems promote airflow between the pack and your back, reducing heat build-up and keeping you cooler and more comfortable throughout even the most demanding hiking days. A well-fitted hiking backpack makes every kilometre more manageable.

Intelligently Organised for Trail-Ready Access

On the trail, being able to find what you need quickly and easily can make a real difference to your day. Hiking backpacks are designed with smart, trail-focused organisation in mind — featuring multiple external pockets, hip belt pockets for snacks and a phone, side mesh water bottle holders, top lid compartments for maps and first aid essentials, and internal hydration bladder sleeves compatible with most leading reservoir brands. Gear loops, trekking pole attachments, and sleeping bag compartments on larger models add further versatility — keeping your kit accessible, secure, and exactly where you need it at all times.

A Style & Size for Every Hiker

From lightweight trail runners looking for a minimalist fastpacking solution to family walkers who need a comfortable, feature-rich daypack for a day out in the hills, there is a hiking backpack suited to every ability level, every body type, and every adventure. Available in a range of sizes, colour options, and technical specifications — including men's, women's, and youth-specific fits — finding a hiking backpack that works for you is straightforward. The right hiking backpack doesn't just carry your gear — it becomes a trusted companion for every adventure you take on.
