Overseas Escapism with Trekkit
Given that the UK experienced a 60% surge in holidays booked in January, outdoor experts Trekkit have a trio of top tier packs to accompany us as we travel to our dream destinations this year. Whether you’re trekking at altitude or on a multi-stop adventure around the globe, these packs are guaranteed to help you travel lighter and move smarter. First up is the versatile Allpa 50L from Cotopaxi , a two-in-one modular design with a 42L main compartment for all of your main gear, with a handy removable 8L sling bag that’s perfect for taking out on day trips or hikes. Constructed from 840D recycled nylon with 630D recycled ballistic nylon in high-wear zones, this super comfy, contoured pack is ultra durable too and built to handle the rigours of travel.
Next up is the Skala 40 fromYETI, who, having recently acquired the legendary Mystery Ranch brand have automatically become one of the best backpack brands pretty much overnight. Engineered for all day hikes the Skala has been constructed using a lightweight AlumaLite frame to ensure comfortable load management, combined with the lightweight yet extremely tough and hardwearing Guardcore nylon. Which has been further reinforced with abrasion-resistant nylon fibres for extra durability, then finished with a carbonate coating to provide light weather resistance. Reducing back strain by distributing weight effectively, the Skala uses load lifters and an adjustable torso system to keep you nicely balanced. Whilst the vented mesh back panel promotes airflow while the inspired ‘RipZip’ pull-to-open system provides speedy access to all your essentials and the packs internal multi-pocket system.
Last but not least and ideal for longer journeys we have the roomier Osprey Soujourn 60. Kitted out with durable wheels and a telescopic handle it can be easily pulled along airports and city streets, whereas it’s stowable harness also means it can be carried on your back when terrain gets tough. DWR treated, the Soujorn’s abrasion-resistant construction (a mixture of 460D recycled nylon and 1680D recycled polyester) and 500D nylon reinforcement across the base means that it will keep all your kit safe and secure.
