About this product

This is the same 45-litre pack as the men's, set up for shorter backs (40 to 50cm in S/M, 45 to 55cm in M/L) with narrower shoulder straps that curve round the chest. The hip belt is cut at a steeper angle so it rests on the hip bones.

It shares the change we made for Spring Summer 2026, after colleague test days showed the old belt pressing on long descents: the belt is wider and stiffer, and padded with a softer foam. As on every Hale pack, repairs are free for as long as you own it.

  • Back length 40 to 50cm (S/M) or 45 to 55cm (M/L)
  • Narrow shoulder straps curved round the chest
  • Angled hip belt, wider and stiffer since SS26
  • Base zip to reach the sleeping bag
  • Rain cover in a pocket under the base

    Comfortable, Heather is lighter than shown

    Very comfortable over three days on the Western Way. The Heather is a lighter purple than it looks on screen, which I didn't mind, but worth knowing.

    Fits my short back

    First pack I've owned that doesn't press on my collarbones. Four days hostel to hostel from Grasmere round to Buttermere and no bruised hips, which I always got with my old one.
