Vango Sherpa 60:70S Hiking Backpack – Made for Proper Adventurers
If you’re after a backpack that can keep pace with your long-distance treks or more technical backpacking outings, the Vango Sherpa 60:70S is well worth a gander. It’s especially spot-on if you’re on the smaller side or need something with a shorter back length. The best bit? It’s easily adjustable – no faffing about with complicated setups. Just tweak it to fit your back length and off you go.
Comfortable, Cool, and Totally Practical
What really makes this pack shine is the ventilated Airmesh back panel and straps. When you’re huffing and puffing up a steep incline or lugging a hefty load, staying cool and comfy is a game-changer. Plus, the chest and hip harnesses do a bang-up job of spreading the weight evenly, so your shoulders don’t end up bearing all the brunt.
Loads of Space with Clever Organisation
With a generous 60 litres of space that can stretch out to 70 litres, you’ve got plenty of room for all your kit – whether it’s a weekend away or a week-long expedition. Multiple compartments mean you can keep everything shipshape: top access for quick grabs, side expansion pockets, and a zipped base compartment for your boots or muddy gear. The mesh side pockets are a handy touch too, perfect for stashing water bottles or snacks within easy reach.
Built Tough for the Great Outdoors
The Sherpa isn’t just all talk – it’s built to last. Sturdy Dura-flex buckles stand up to rough and tumble, while the detachable high-visibility rain cover keeps your gear bone dry when the heavens open. There’s even a nifty emergency whistle on the sternum strap, a thoughtful little extra that might just save the day when you least expect it.
Made with the Serious Trekker in Mind
Whether you’re tackling the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award expeditions or simply love your long countryside rambles, this pack is up for it. It’s hydration compatible, so you can slot in a water reservoir without any hassle, and there are handy attachments for ice axes or walking poles – ideal if your adventures get a bit more technical.
Weighing in at just over 2.3 kg, it strikes a cracking balance between being lightweight and robust. Measuring 30 cm wide, 80 cm tall, and 31 cm deep, it fits comfortably without feeling bulky. If you’ve been on the lookout for a reliable, practical backpack that’s built for serious outdoor use but keeps you comfy all day long, the Vango Sherpa 60:70S deserves a good look.
