The Adventure Pack

I was struggling to find a pack that would work for my adventures as other manufacturers offer such sport specific options. This pack is built and designed with the features to make any adventure possible!

Buy now. WC-30 30L Adventure Backpack

I used the bag for a 12 hour Adventure Race. I found the bag after searching through all of the big names and the bag is outstanding. I have many different types of bags and this one is a trick of all trades. So many pockets, pouches, tie down areas, a place for a bladder, side pockets that fit spare shoes, it has it all. Waist band and shoulder straps are surprisingly comfortable and did not fatigue me at all. I would buy it again if it broke.

Outstanding product!! Super happy

This bagpack is a top quality product made by professionals! I could recommend this over other more commercial brands like Sal….North F… symple because this bag is made by experts and the materials used are top. It has multiple pockets, waterproof materials, extra storage, various functionality pockets, I love it

WC-30 review

Used the pack for the first time in a weekend orienteering Rogaine. More than enough space for all gear, food, and water. Was comfortable with minimal adjustments, even after first outing of 9 continuous hours. Really like that there's multiple access points for the main compartment. Feels well put together and high quality, zippers, straps, everything. Only thing I had trouble with is finding the buckles or ends of zippers quickly because everything is black. I may add some colored chord or something to make it easier to identify parts that I want to grab. It got pretty soaked in the rain, but dried very quickly for the next day's use. Purchased, but havent tried the rain cover yet.... Well worth the price, I look forward to using this pack a lot more this year.
