40L Hiking Backpack with Ventilated Back – Water-Repellent Nylon

The moment when the first shower hits halfway through

Spare clothes, sleeping bag, provisions: whatever is in your backpack needs to stay dry, even when the heavens open. This 40-liter hiking backpack features a water-repellent coating, a ventilated back, and enough compartments so you don't have to unpack everything every time you reach for something.

What the backpack offers

• Water-repellent coated nylon – the coating allows rain to run off the surface instead of soaking into the fabric, keeping clothing and equipment dry during showers.
• Ventilated back panel – the offset padding creates air channels between your back and the backpack, allowing sweat to evaporate instead of collecting on your shirt.
• Padded, contoured shoulder straps – distribute weight over a wider area and follow the natural line of the shoulders, ensuring nothing presses against your collarbone.
• Internal compartment for hydration system or laptop – keeps the hydration bladder upright or the notebook flat against your back so that nothing shifts in the main compartment.
• Front pocket with zipper – for a map, rain jacket, or first-aid kit, accessible without opening the main compartment.
• Side mesh pockets with drawstrings – hold a water bottle or thermos securely in place, even when moving over uneven terrain.
• Attachment loops and compression straps – carry trekking poles or a sleeping mat on the outside and cinch down the pack volume when it is only half-full.

Suitable for hikers on long day trips, weekend trekkers staying in tents or huts, travelers with carry-on luggage, and anyone who wants to carry just one bag between the train station, the trail, and their accommodation.

Is 40 liters enough for a weekend?

For two to three days with hut accommodation, this volume is generally sufficient: spare clothes, rain protection, provisions, and a hut sleeping bag will fit inside, while poles and a sleeping mat can be attached to the loops on the outside. Those traveling with a tent and stove should opt for a larger model. For cleaning, a damp cloth is sufficient; for heavier soiling, wipe down with clear water and mild soap and let it air dry so that no moisture remains in the padding.

For everyone who packs on Friday evening and is already on the move Saturday morning.
