Highlander VULKAN Mountain Rucksack - Technical All-Season (35L/45L)

The Highlander VULKAN Mountain Rucksack is an all-season technical pack, in 35L and 45L, built for winter hiking, mountaineering and scrambling. It carries axes, poles and rope properly and comes with a rain cover, so it's ready for British hills in any month.

The 100% nylon ripstop body is reinforced with XTP fabric and closed with Duraflex buckles. A floating, detachable lid flexes the capacity and gives easy access, whilst the large stretch front pocket swallows wet waterproofs and the hip belt pockets (one zip, one stretch) hold snacks and your phone. Padded shoulder straps, a supportive hip belt, dual load stabilisation straps and an adjustable chest strap with whistle buckle keep it stable on long, technical days. Choose the 35L for day trips and fast-and-light missions, or the 45L for longer days, winter gear and heavier loads.
