Performance on the trail
Skytrail’s bike-specific design keeps the pack riding high and the weight close to your back, helping maintain a stable centre of gravity. The updated back system uses moulded closed-cell foam panels to provide structure and even load distribution, while open-cell foam in the hip and shoulder areas adds cushioning where it matters most. All contact points are wrapped in mesh for a smooth, breathable feel on long rides.
The revised shoulder strap construction improves how the pack sits and adds more precise adjustability, giving a more dialled-in fit across a wide range of body shapes. The low-profile design stops the pack shifting as you ride, even on technical descents or fast, flowing trails.
Designed around hydration and organisation
A carefully considered pocket layout helps keep you fuelled and organised on the move - with quick access to gels and essentials. A zipped hydration bladder pocket makes refilling simple, with the zip continuing up onto the shoulder strap so you can route the drinking hose cleanly and quickly when setting up. With 11 pockets in total, there’s a place for tools, spares, layers and food, all easy to access without unpacking everything. These internal dividers also help prevent items moving around while riding, maintaining your balance on the bike.
Tough, trail-ready construction
Made from tough nylon fabric with a reinforced base, Skytrail is ready to handle the rigours of riding off-road. A PFC-free DWR adds water resistance for damp days and passing showers, keeping your kit protected while you focus on the ride ahead.

How It Is Made
PFC-free DWR
We've used a PFC-free durable water repellent (DWR) on the outer fabric. PFCs are potentially harmful and have been found to build up in the environment.
Gear you'll love for longer
Increasing the lifespan of your kit reduces its environmental impact. We've use 210D ripstop nylon and 420D reinforced nylon for increased durability
