Technical Backpacks and Rucksacks 

From carrying a full rack up the north face of Ben Nevis to carrying essential water and layers on a long run around Kinder Scout, we've got a great selection of backpacks and rucksacks.

Gourdon is our iconic multi-sports waterproof backpack for commuter cycling to mountain marathons, think of it as a dry bag with shoulder straps.

Our factory here at Alpkit HQ offers a complete custom design service to design and make bespoke packs. We've made for arctic adventures, El Capitan ascents and specialist Mountain Rescue Team packs. Get in touch to find out more about custom backpacks.
