There is a point where a day pack stops being enough. Add a tent, a sleeping bag, a mat and two days of food and 30 or 40 litres runs out fast. The Ivar 50L is Highlander's answer to that - the biggest pack in an award-winning range, built on the same comfort-first carry that made the smaller Ivars popular and scaled up for overnights and longer routes. The Airvent back panel keeps air circulating where the pack meets your back, cushioned hip fins put the load onto your hips instead of your shoulders, and webbing stabilisers pull the whole thing in tight so it moves with you rather than against you on rough ground. Nylon shell with 900D polyester reinforcement handles the places where a loaded pack takes a beating, and at 1.2kg empty it stays sensible on the scales for a 50 litre bag. A full-length front zip gets you into the bottom of the main compartment without unpacking from the top, and pole and axe loops, a hydration sleeve, a whistle chest strap and a stowaway raincover are all included as standard. A women's specific fit is available separately.
