The Tarkine is a classic bushwalking rucksack with modern practicality and ingenuity. With an 85 litre capacity (medium), a multitude of gear attachment points, huge front pocket and floating lid, it is a workhorse of a pack. An EXACT FIT harness provides comfort and adjustability while the WATERLOC® canvas body gives incredible water-resistance and durability. With Cordura® nylon reinforcement in high-wear areas, a double base, and optional add-ons, this is a rucksack for years of happy exploration.
- EXACT FIT harness is endorsed by the Australian Chiropractors Association
- Our frames are made from high-grade, hardened aluminium, channelled to increase rigidity and hand-bent in Melbourne
- WATERLOC® canvas is extremely water resistant and durable. It is designed for Australian conditions and made in Australia
- Seams are bound with our four-fold, 227-gsm canvas binding, increasing both water resistance and durability
- Double-layered base is reinforced with 750-denier Cordura® nylon for extra durability and increased abrasion resistance
- Single-entry, top-loading system is classic for a reason – it just works
- A huge front pocket (with larger, water-resistant side zip) gives easy access to important gear, even with equipment attached (skis, poles, crampons and more…)
- Dedicated snow-shovel pocket (fits a 25.5cm/10 inch wide blade) for quick access and secure storage
- Wide front panel with shock cord allows you to pack with versatility and attach essential gear, while protecting your pack from the sharp points of crampons and snowshoes
- Non-crack nylon buckles are strong and reliable, chosen for superior durability. They bend rather than break
- Floating lid is a secure, robust, top compartment giving easy access to essential items, and allowing pack to be extended for extra space
- Underlid pocket is discreet and accessible, ideal for valuables and must-have items
- Handy clip in the top pocket makes it easy to find your keys
- The double-layered throat has a drawcord and barrel lock for easy compression and secure closure
- Internal compression straps under the lid secure gear and create a natural cavity: an ideal space for broad-brimmed hats
- Built-in whistle in the sternum strap for emergencies
- The ONE PLANET attachment system allows you to easily attach back-country toys and technical gear
- Side pockets at the base of the rucksack body (two on each side) increase versatility, packability and durability by reinforcing high-wear areas
- Side compression straps allow you to compress your bag, keeping the weight close to your body. Side-release buckles allow the easy attachment of technical equipment
- Webbing keepers stop your main compression straps from dangling in the mud
- Large external water bottle pockets are low and within reach, allowing easy access and ergonomic weight distribution
- Internal loop for securing your hydration bladder. Thread your hydration hose out the button-hole exit in the pack throat and choose your preferred side
