HighlanderDiscovery 65L & 85L Rucksack – Lightweight Waterproof Hiking Backpack with Rain Cover, Ideal for Camping, Trekking, and Travel

I recently acquired the Highlander Lightweight Camping Rucksack (45L version), and I must say it has become an essential companion for all my outdoor escapades. Here's why I'm thoroughly impressed:Versatile Size Options:The availability of three size options (45L, 65L, and 85L) caters to various packing needs, whether it's a day hike or a more extended camping trip. The 45L version is perfect for shorter excursions, while the larger capacities are great for extended trips where more gear is required.Adjustable Strap System:The adjustable strap system is a game-changer, ensuring a comfortable and customizable fit for users of any height. This feature adds to the overall ergonomic design, making it suitable for a wide range of body types.Durable Construction:Constructed with high-quality materials, the rucksack feels robust and ready to handle the rigors of outdoor adventures. The reinforced stitching adds to its durability, and I appreciate the thoughtfulness put into the design to withstand varying weather conditions.Nylon Waterproof Cover:The integrated nylon waterproof cover is a lifesaver during unexpected rain showers. It provides an additional layer of protection, keeping my gear dry and secure. The fact that it's seamlessly integrated into the design means I don't have to worry about carrying an extra rain cover separately.Smart Compartmentalization:The well-thought-out design includes multiple compartments and pockets, making organization a breeze. The main compartment is spacious, and the additional pockets help keep things like water bottles, maps, and snacks easily accessible.Lightweight Design:Living up to its name, the Highlander Rucksack is impressively lightweight, ensuring that it doesn't add unnecessary heft to my load. This is particularly appreciated during longer treks when every ounce matters.In conclusion, the Highlander Lightweight Camping Rucksack has proven to be a reliable, versatile, and well-designed backpack for all my outdoor adventures. Whether you're a seasoned hiker or a casual camper, this rucksack is an excellent investment that combines functionality, comfort, and durability. Highly recommended!

Two years on and 9 countries later, I can say that this bag is a great investment. It looks a little more worn but still functions like new - nothing broken, nothing ripped, nothing torn. My back too, is still in one piece - the bag is well-padded in all the right places - particularly on the waist strap and shoulder straps, and the back-support bar built into the bag (while adding a little weight) does mean that carrying this is very easy and relatively comfortable.The bag also has lots of little pockets and compartments: two at the side,one at the bottom, two at the top of the bag (one with an outside opening, the other just on the inside) and a pocket for essentials on the waist strap, as well as the main compartment.The bag also comes with a bright yellow waterproof cover which is concealed in a convenient zip-pocket right at the base of the bag.

This rucksack is very competitively priced. I bought it for a trip to the Far East and have since used it on a skiing trip and two other holidays. Up to now, it has born up well under the strain, everything still in really good condition, no splits, busted zips of anything else broken. I don't think the weight distribution is brilliant, and if you have it on your back for a long period, it can start to get a bit uncomfortable. And it doesn't have a front zip opening, so if you want to dive in to the main compartment quickly it's not ideal So I wouldn't recommend it if you are going to be using it to carry stuff for hours on end (e.g. on your back during a day hike). But if you just want a rucksack more as a piece of travel luggage- this does the job. If you are going travelling and just use it to from airports, on and off trains and the like- this is ideal. Sturdy, well made, copes with being chucked on and off vehicles/planes. Given the low price- this is very good value for money as a piece of travel luggage.

First impressions of this pack are good. It’s extremely lightweight and the antigravity system means that it’s so comfortable to wear. I’m 6ft 3 and I often struggle to find a bag that fits me properly, this pack has so many adjusters (including a back length), which means I’m able to have it fit me perfectly, which in turn effectively distributes the weight across my body. It seems very well made and I don’t imagine it’ll split or break anytime soon. So far I would highly recommend this pack!I will post a further update after my 3 day hike across the moors.UpdateTook this pack out for 3 days. It was a god send. I was carrying just shy of 15kg over 45km of really tough ground and you can barely feel it. It spreads out the weight perfectly and keeps you balanced. In fact it was that good that the friend that came with me is now buying one too. I’ll update again in the future of it doesn’t live up to my expectations!

We got the 65 litre which is perfect for our holidays in this country. When we are out in the day it means we can have all the food and drink we need but there is room too for a towel to dry our dog and space to put our coats in we get too warm. It’s also comfortable on your back

I used the rucksack to walk the Camino Norte, 845 Km with approximately 15 Kg of kit packed into the rucksack.The rucksack was extremely comfortable, well designed, and excellent build quality.The only issue I had with the rucksack, was I lost one of the strap toggles.Highly recommended piece of kit, and thank you.
