Purpose-Built Performance
AlumaLite frame
Lightweight structural support improves load stability without adding bulk, helping reduce strain over long distances while keeping your pack balanced and controlled on steep climbs and uneven terrain.
Adjustable harness with load lifters
Custom fit enhances comfort and reduces fatigue across long distances by evenly distributing weight across your shoulders and hips, allowing for better posture and more efficient movement on the trail.
Contoured shoulder straps
Supports comfort and reduces pressure on shoulders by shaping to your body, helping minimise fatigue and improving carry comfort during extended use.
Balanced load design
Helps maintain stability across uneven terrain by keeping weight evenly distributed, reducing sway and improving control on technical or challenging tracks.
Guardcore™ Nylon construction
Strong, lightweight fabric handles rugged conditions while staying easy to carry, giving you confidence to tackle rough tracks without worrying about wear while still keeping overall pack weight down.
High-capacity pack design
Spacious internal capacity gives you room to pack all the essentials for your hike, keeping your gear organised and ready no matter where the trail leads.
Advanced pocket organisation system
Lid pockets, stretch-woven side pockets, sleeping bag compartment and waist-belt pockets provide dedicated storage zones, helping you organise gear efficiently so everything from essentials to bulkier items has a secure and easy-to-access place.
Hydration reservoir compatibility
Internal reservoir pocket with dedicated port and hose routing keeps hydration systems neatly integrated, allowing easy access to water while keeping your setup streamlined and tangle-free during movement.
Stretch-woven hydration holsters
Keeps water secure and within reach during movement, allowing you to stay hydrated without stopping and maintaining momentum across long distances or steep climbs.
RipZip pull-to-open access
Wide, fast opening allows quick access to gear without unpacking, saving time and effort when you need to grab essentials quickly during fast-paced hikes or changing conditions.
Vented mesh back panel
Airflow channel helps keep your back cool and dry by reducing heat and moisture build-up, improving overall comfort and helping you stay focused during long, demanding hikes.
Fitting your pack
STEP 1: Loosen it off
Back off the load lifters and shoulder straps so the pack hangs nice and loose—gives you a clean starting point.
STEP 2: Lock in your waist
Clip up and tighten the waist belt around your hips until it’s snug but comfy. This is where most of the weight should sit.
STEP 3: Find the yoke adjuster
Take the pack off and grab the webbing loop between the yoke and pack body—this pulls out the adjuster.
STEP 4: Break the seal
Slide the adjuster in between the yoke and bag to release the hook-and-loop seal.
STEP 5: Fit the torso
Slide the yoke up or down until the shoulder strap seam lines up with your shoulder blade. Once it’s spot on, pull the adjuster back to lock it in.
STEP 6: Tidy it away
Pop the yoke adjuster back into its pocket—it also acts as part of the pack’s frame, so don’t skip this step!

Yes, the vented mesh back panel creates airflow to help reduce heat and moisture build-up while you’re on the move!

With multiple internal and external pockets, it’s easy to separate and access your essentials without hassle!
Can I easily carry water with this pack?

Is the material suitable for rugged environments?

Is the Skala™ Hiking Pack good for multi-day hikes or just day trips?
The Skala™ 50 litre and 60 litre Multi-Day Packs are great for multi-day and multi-week hikes whereas the Skala™ 32 litre Hiking Packs are better suited for day-long excursions and shorter trips.
How do I determine which size Skala™ Hiking Pack to get?
There are several things to consider when choosing the right backpack, starting with your trip length. Will it be a day-long excursion, weekend backpacking trip, or a multi-week adventure? This question will help determine how much gear you’ll need to carry. If your trip is short and your gear is minimal, a smaller pack may work. If you’re going on a longer trek and want to bring more gear, bulkier and heavier items, or need a dedicated compartment for a sleeping bag, you should opt for a larger pack as this will require additional space. Next, think about the season and the weather conditions. In the summer, or in warmer climates, you can pack less, while fall and winter trips will call for extra layers and additional gear. Finally, consider your packing style. If you’re comfortable with fewer items, a smaller pack is ideal. If you prefer bringing extra comforts from home and don’t mind the added weight, go for the larger pack.
Is the Skala™ Hiking Pack unisex or are there different fits for men and women?
Each Skala™ Hiking Pack has a different fit for men and women. However, since the men’s size has a more standardised harness, we recommended it as our unisex offering.
How is the women’s size Skala™ Hiking Pack pack specifically made for women?
We designed the women’s Skala™ Hiking Pack based on extensive research and fit studies to ensure it accurately accommodates the female form rather than being a scaled-down version of a men’s pack. The biggest improvement comes in the shoulder harness—we updated the curvature, arc, and length to better match women’s torsos for optimal comfort and stability. In addition, the waist belt comes in two sizes, allowing for a more personalised fit across a wide range of body types. These changes make the pack significantly more ergonomic and supportive.
How do I adjust the harness on the Skala™ Hiking Pack?
To adjust the harness for the best fit and most comfortable carry, start by setting the torso length using the adjustable harness system. Next, tighten the hip belt so it sits snugly on your hip bones, then adjust the shoulder straps to bring the pack closer to your back. Finally, adjust the load lifters and the sternum strap for optimal balance and stability. For more detailed step-by-step instructions, visit our Fitting & Sizing Guide.
Does the Skala™ Hiking Pack’s storage capacity vary by harness size?
No, the storage capacity does not change with the different harness sizes of the Skala™ Hiking Pack. The harness size only affects how the bag fits your body, not how much gear it holds. For example, if you choose a size Small in a 50 litre pack and your friend chooses a size Large in the same 50 litre pack, both packs will have the same 50 liter capacity, they will just be adjusted differently for each individual fit.
