What size pack?

Buy for the longest trip you'll do most often. A half-empty big pack carries worse than a full one the right size. This one is 40 L.

Trip	Size	What goes in it
Day walks and trail runs	10 to 30 L	Water, food, a warm layer, rain jacket, first aid
One or two nights	30 to 45 L	Add a compact bag, mat, shelter and a small cook kit
Multi-day walks	45 to 65 L	Several days of food, and room for cold-weather layers

Fit by back length
Measure from the bone at the base of your neck to the top of your hips. That, not your height, decides the size.
Frame or frameless
Frameless packs are the lightest but carry best with a light load. A frame moves heavier loads onto your hips.
Line it
Very few packs are waterproof. Put a pack liner or dry bags inside, and keep your sleeping bag in one.
Heavy things close
Pack food and water against your back, between your shoulder blades, and light, bulky gear at the bottom.

Questions

Which size fits me?

Fit is set by back length: from the bony bump at the base of your neck down to the top of your hip bones. The spec table gives the size range where the maker publishes it.

Is it waterproof?

Treat every pack as water-resistant, not waterproof: seams and zips let water in during a long day of rain. Use a pack liner or dry bags inside, and a rain cover if it has one.

When will it arrive?

We dispatch in 1–3 business days, then it's 10–20 business days on the way to Australia. There's no warehouse or shopfront in between, which is why it takes longer and costs less. If you have a trip booked, order at least four weeks before you leave. You'll get a tracking number by email when the parcel is scanned. Full details on the Shipping page.

Will my order arrive in one parcel?

Gear from the same maker usually travels together. If your order has gear from more than one maker, it can arrive in two or three parcels, sometimes a few days apart. You'll get an email with a tracking number for every parcel, so you always know what's on the way.

Will I pay duty or GST on delivery?

No. Orders under A$1,000 clear into Australia without additional duty or GST, so there's nothing to pay when your parcel arrives.

What if it isn't right?

You have 30 days from delivery to return it unused and in its packaging. If it's faulty or doesn't match what we published, we pay the return postage and refund in full. See Returns.
