Match capacity to gear volume
Lay out your actual kit before choosing — your gear volume, not trip length alone, sets the liter size you need.
Backpack
Four hiking backpacks, four clear jobs — from a 45L airflow pack for ventilated day hikes to a 55L suspension model for heavier loads. Compare capacity, pack weight, frame design and listed load limits below; trip length alone does not determine the right size.

How to choose
I've carried all four. The 50L Ultralight disappears on your back for day hikes, the Airflow's suspended frame is the one I grab in August heat, and the 55L suspension earned its weight on a three-day trip with a full kit. Check the load limit first — comfort lives there, not in the liter number.
Compare listed load limits
Each model lists a load limit; stay within it for comfort and durability. Lighter packs trade load capacity for pack weight.

FAQ
Should I choose 45L, 50L or 55L?
Match the size to your gear volume and load. Day-hike kits fit 45L–50L; overnight trips with a shelter and extra layers suit 55L. The listed load limit matters as much as the liter size.
What does the listed load limit mean?
It is the carrying weight the pack is designed for. Staying within it keeps the frame, straps and stitching performing as intended — and keeps you more comfortable.
Do these packs come with a rain cover?
Rain cover availability is listed on each product page — check the features section of the model you are considering.
Which pack works for commuting as well as hiking?
The 45L Airflow model includes a laptop compartment alongside its trail features, making it the most dual-purpose option in the range.
