A VERSATILE PACK FOR FAST, LIGHT ADVENTURES
How does it work?
Book online for the dates you need and only pay for your actual hire dates, not the time your gear spends in transit. Pay securely when you book. Your card is saved with Stripe for the damage authorisation shown, but that amount is not charged upfront.
Collect and return in Nelson, or choose nationwide courier delivery (excluding the Chatham Islands). Allow at least three working days so your gear arrives before your hire starts.
Repack courier orders securely in their original packaging with the prepaid return ticket, then hand them to the courier on the final day of your hire.
You can still book over public holidays, but stores are closed and delivery may take longer. If timing is tight, talk to us. Cancellations may incur a fee. See our Terms.

A VERSATILE PACK FOR FAST, LIGHT ADVENTURES
This 28–30 L lightweight pack is ideal for moving efficiently on the trail or in the backcountry. Designed to balance comfort, stability, and low weight, it suits day hikes, fast-packing, and minimalist overnight trips where freedom of movement matters.
The pack uses a close-to-body carry with running-vest-style shoulder straps to distribute weight comfortably across the chest, shoulders, and back. Breathable materials and airflow-focused back panels help manage heat and moisture during active use, while smart external storage keeps essentials close at hand.
With a streamlined main compartment and flexible closure system, the pack can adapt to varying loads. Stretch mesh pockets and compression features provide quick access to frequently used items and help keep gear stable over uneven terrain.
Typical features may include
Lightweight, close-fitting design for active movement
Vest-style shoulder straps with dual sternum adjustment
Breathable back panel and shoulder materials
Top-loading or roll-top main compartment with expandable capacity
External stretch mesh pockets for quick-access items
Side or front compression to stabilise loads
Removable or adjustable waist/hip support
Internal sleeve suitable for a hydration reservoir
