Backpacks: Classic Canvas Backpacks
 |
The classic bushwalking expedition model. Multi-week bushwalks in places like south-west Tasmania make demands of a backpack mostly now ignored by designers. This big, single-compartment canvas pack is a proven performer. The external pockets, removable compression straps and bum-bag-convertible top cover add welcome convenience and versatility. The wide-mouth throat and big top cover design are rarely seen these days but you need look no further than the profile of a traditional Himalayan porter’s basket to sense the benefits in both natural carry posture and ease of use: Adding the extra volume at the top of this big pack reduces backward drag on the shoulders. Fully fitted with our sophisticated Synchro-FORM harness system, the Karijini works with your body to carry the heaviest loads with comfort.

Dual compartment convenience and versatility. Smaller sister to the Karijini model, the Freycinet is a popular choice, perfect for multi-day walks in warmer climates and anytime huge bag capacity is not required. Our cross internal frame and sophisticated harness system achieve superb, dynamic comfort but don’t overlook another great advantage of this unique back system: excellent free-air circulation and cooling ventilation everywhere but the harness contact surfaces. The mid-range capacity, narrower width at shoulder level and direct access to the lower part of the pack bag make the Freycinet a favourite choice for women wanting a serious back-country pack.

The choice of outdoor professionals. This canvas equivalent of our Mountain Expedition model performs across the whole spectrum of backcountry pursuits. The Lost World combines essential break-down modularity, compression ability and fit-out for alpine use with the strength, heavy-load comfort and weather-resistance demanded on extended, off-track journeys through rough, wet country. The long canvas bag with its wide, roll-down throat and jack-up, bum-bag-convertible top cover has capacity to contain outsized loads and double as a three-quarter bivibag. The Synchro-FORM harnesses complete the comfort side of the equation.

The proven, original WE institutional and entry-level canvas pack. The Breakout incorporates the lessons of more than 20 years use, backpack design and after-sales service experience. Our efficient, zip-less back pocket, and the high-cut bag with heavy-duty draw cord (but no nylon throat sleeve) have been widely copied. Our strong, dual-back-length system is unique and fitted to all bag sizes. It provides for teenage growth and solves the problems of best fitting a range of body sizes in any youth group. Perhaps surprisingly, the Breakout includes our sophisticated Synchro-FORM harness system. Its adaptive fit is an important advantage but so too is the possibility of simple repair. This is a perfect first backpack for young people beginning a life of outdoor adventure.
