Common Questions About Our Backpacks

A hiking backpack (like our Ridge Alpine 60L) is designed for multi-day trips with a larger capacity (45-65L), reinforced frame, and specialized compartments for sleeping bags and tents. Daypacks are smaller (20-35L), lighter, and perfect for 4-8 hour outings or urban commuting—they prioritize quick access and comfort over extended carrying capacity.

Absolutely—that's actually our whole philosophy. Our Urban Commute 28L works great for weekend hikes and daily office runs because we design with both in mind. The key is using durable materials (ballistic nylon), clean aesthetics that don't scream "outdoor gear," and practical features like padded laptop sleeves and anti-theft pockets that serve both purposes.

Our 60L hiking packs are rated for loads up to 25kg with the suspension system properly adjusted. For 3-season backpacking, most hikers carry 15-18kg comfortably. The aluminum frame and padded hip belt do the heavy lifting—literally—so you're not relying on your shoulders alone.

They're water-resistant, not waterproof—which is what you actually want. The polyurethane-backed nylon and integrated rain covers protect against rain and splashes, but we don't seal them completely because you need to access your gear. For serious wet conditions, use a pack liner or dry bags inside, which we always recommend for multi-day trips anyway.

Think about your typical trip: day hikes need 20-28L, weekend trips need 40-50L, and multi-day treks need 55-65L. We've found most active hikers around Kaunas end up with a 45L pack because it handles 2-3 day trips without being oversized for day use. If you're torn between sizes, go smaller—you'll pack smarter and carry less.

We offer 30-day returns on all packs, no questions asked. Fit matters more than anything else, and a great pack that doesn't sit right on your frame isn't great for you. If you want personalized advice before ordering, reach out to our team—we're based in Kaunas and happy to discuss sizing over email or phone.
