Suggestions for the backpacker

Backpacker travel is about carrying less, spending less, and moving freely. The gear that works best is ultralight, packable, and multi-purpose — items that earn their place in your pack by solving more than one problem. This collection covers the essentials that experienced backpackers rely on.

Travel Gear ships from our Charlestown NSW warehouse with fast delivery across Australia.

Backpacker Essentials

• Packable daypack: A lightweight backup bag for day trips that packs to nothing in your main bag. See our day packs range
• Packing cubes: Keep your backpack organised and find things without unpacking everything. See our packing cubes range
