When you just want a backpack that behaves
You know that feeling when you’re halfway through a day out and your bag starts annoying you. Straps digging in. Zips fighting you. Everything mixed together in one big “stuff pile”. That’s usually the moment people decide they need something better.
This 60L waterproof hiking backpack (Red) is built for the real world. It’s roomy, tough, and easier to live with on the move—whether you’re heading out for a weekend hike, packing for a trip, or doing long days where you need your essentials in one place.
Want a smaller option? If you’re packing lighter or prefer a tighter profile, check the 40L version in Red.
What it is
A unisex outdoor backpack made from waterproof oxford fabric with durable stitching, padded adjustable shoulder straps, and a large main compartment designed to hold your day-to-day travel or hiking load.
Why travellers like this style of pack
1) Comfort you can actually wear all day
Padded shoulder straps make a big difference when you’ve got a full load. Adjust them properly and the pack sits closer to your body, which helps it feel steadier and less “swingy” when you walk.
2) Water resistance for surprise weather
The oxford waterproof fabric helps protect your gear from rain and splashes. If you’re heading into heavy, hours-long downpours, a rain cover is still a smart backup (especially for protecting zips).
3) Big capacity without the chaos
A roomy main compartment gives you a clean place to pack larger items. The divider-style organisation helps you keep things separated so you’re not unpacking everything just to find one thing.
4) Easy grab points when you’re on the move
The top handle is handy for quick lifts—think bus racks, car boots, hostel bunks, or grabbing it off the ground. There’s also a hook-and-loop hanging strap feature for quick hanging when you stop for a break.
Size guide: 40L vs 60L
Tip: pick your size based on trip length and how bulky your gear is (jackets, shoes, food, towels).
| Capacity | Dimensions | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| 40L | 49cm × 25cm × 15cm | Day hikes, gym + work, weekend trips, lighter packers |
| 60L | 62cm × 34cm × 20cm | Multi-day trips, bulkier clothing, camping gear, longer days out |
Simple fit check: Put the heaviest items closest to your back and near the middle of the pack. It feels lighter and sits better.
Best uses (real-life friendly)
This backpack suits a mix of outdoor and everyday travel:
- Hiking and bush walks
- Camping and weekend getaways
- Travel days (car, bus, train)
- Ski trips and cold-weather layers
- Rock climbing days and outdoor training
- Running errands when you need hands free
How to pack it so it feels lighter
Use “zones” inside your bag
Keep quick-grab items together (snacks, headlamp, first-aid, sunscreen) so you’re not digging around. Then keep clothing in one block and “wet/dirty” items separated.
Make your bag feel organised in 60 seconds
Packing cubes are the easiest way to stop your bag turning into a mess. If you want that “everything has a place” feeling, add a set of waterproof compression packing cubes. They also make unpacking faster.

FAQ
Is this backpack fully waterproof?
It’s made from waterproof oxford fabric to help protect your gear from rain and splashes. For heavy, all-day rain, consider adding a rain cover to protect seams and zips.
Which size should I choose: 40L or 60L?
Go 40L for day hikes and lighter trips. Choose 60L if you’re packing bulkier clothing, extra shoes, or you want more room for multi-day travel.
Can I use it for travel as well as hiking?
Yes. It’s a solid option for travel days where you want hands free and one main compartment for everything.
How do I clean it?
Wipe it with a damp cloth and mild soap, then air dry fully. Avoid machine washing to help protect the coating and stitching.
