Why Choose the Highlander Ben Nevis Mens 52L Rucksack?
The Highlander Ben Nevis Mens 52L Rucksack is an award-winning 52 litre hiking rucksack built for multi-day trekking, hillwalking and backpacking where ventilation, stability and carrying comfort matter most in UK conditions.
Recognised by Trail Magazine® as joint 1st in their “Test of the Best” and rated highly for value and features, this lightweight trekking backpack offers an ideal step up from smaller packs, giving you the capacity for weekend backpacking, wild camping and longer routes such as the West Highland Way, while still keeping weight manageable.
The ventilated Airflow height adjustable back system helps reduce heat build-up on demanding ascents and allows you to fine-tune the fit for your torso length.
