25l
I make 2 styles of 25l but the Strong is most popular. Excelent for a bike commute or easy low risk day walk. The Lite is great, and very stylish too.

Pack Pictures
My pictures are very out of date. I make packs and seldom have time for photography. Many things have changed. Since winter 2025 my straps and waist belts have changed, they are now more like Hyperlite. Recently I have introduced new gridstop colours, retro yet still light weight canvas packs, and a new XPac equivalent laminate in a variety of colours. The pack builder is most up to date. As I have time I will be adding stock packs to the web shop, that may be a good place to look for up to date images.
35l
This was my first backpack, very light and minimal, ideal for the ultralight crowd. They are also perfect as carry-on luggage for advenurous world tavellers. They have been used in the handlebar roll by bike packers.
My personal 35l is made from VX07 and liteskin and weighs 200g. I did the Dusky with it in mid winter. It has gone everywhere with me and is probably the last backpack I would let go, take it from my cold dead hands.

45l
The 45 Classic was my first pack with a waist belt, originally an Empty Pack. They are frameless and minimally padded yet have a reputation for comfort. Also my most popular pack over the years, they have a following. 45l does not include the volume of the pockets.
The 45 Alpine is actually 50l to the top of an open bag and was designed as a climber pack. It's meant to stay out of the way, and comes with ice axe toggles and removeable compression straps. They have a frame to support big loads. This is my personal most used pack.

55l
55l Classic's are a very popular size and all you need for most tramper use cases. 55l does not include the volume of the pockets, and is quite conservative anyway.
55l Alpine's, 60l to the top of an open bag, are slightly pear shaped (wider at the base), and very popular for longer, more hard core, climbing trips. I usually put flat side pockets on for paddles and snow stakes.

65l
65l Classic's work well for longer tramping trips and packrafting. 65l does not include the volume of the pockets, and is quite conservative anyway.
65l Alpine's, or 70l to the top of an open bag, are great for long transalpine trips and packrafting. I usually put flat side pockets on for paddles and snow stakes. Slightly wider at the base, pear shaped. It carries well.

75l
75l Alpine's, or 80l to the top of an open bag, are great for big transalpine carries. I usually put flat side pockets on for paddles and snow stakes. This pack is my most pear shaped. It carries well.
