Wildtrek 55 Horizon Blue Wildtrek 55 Scorched Red

The Wildtrek 55w is a comfortable, lightweight, mid-volume women’s backpack that is ideal for 2–5 day backpacking trips.

The Wildtrek 55w has been developed specifically for women and is available in two back lengths. The hip-belt is specifically designed to accommodate a greater degree of curvature (!). At 1.40 kg, the Wildtrek 55w is exceptionally light for a rucksack with such a comfortable carry, weighing 300–500 g less than most other backpacks with comparable back systems.

All the seams on the main body and lid are either welded or taped, which means the Wildtrek 55w is almost waterproof and ideal for use in wet weather. (For technical reasons the seams attaching the back panel cannot be sealed but are largely protected from the weather by the wearer’s own back.) It also features a unique water-resistant base compartment that is accessed from the outside by a discreet zip. When not in use, the lightweight nylon dividing panel sits flat on the bottom of the main rucksack compartment.
