Big Agnes has a range of lightweight and minimalist packs suitable for every trip. 

There’s a Big Agnes pack for wherever your Walk1200km challenge takes you: from daypacks to large-capacity multi-dayers.

All packs combine recycled and durable materials and are lightweight with features such as stash-mesh pockets, contoured shoulder straps and cut-to-fit hipbelts. In the larger-capacity overnight and multi-day packs, stability and load transfer are the priority, with the suspension system – from the hipbelt to shoulder straps – integrated directly into the frame to allow more weight to be carried more comfortably over longer distances.  

There’s a Big Agnes pack for every adventure

Day pack: Impassable 20 $360

The Impassable 20 is a pack for extended day trips and lightweight excursions. It has a compression-moulded back panel, contoured shoulder straps, and a foam-padded hip belt, all designed for comfort. 680g

Overnight/thru-hiking pack: Sun Dog 45/Prospector 50 $430 

Big Agnes’s philosophy is: ‘your pack shouldn’t weigh more than the gear inside’. The women’s Sun Dog 45 and men’s Prospector 50 will fit a wearer securely and cope with an 18kg maximum load – enough for overnight trips and thru-hiking expeditions. 1280g (w) 1450g (m).

A streamlined, comfortable pack, using ultralight sustainable materials combined with the latest technical features and variety of storage options. 907g.

The women’s Garnet 60 and men’s Parkview 63 have injection moulded frame sheets that are anatomically designed and feature custom adjustments for a perfect fit. There are multiple storage/organiser options, including a removable lid and hipbelt pockets. 1620g (w), 1640g (m).
