The Ledge is a classic mountain daypack for hiking and scrambling. The 35L capacity provides enough room for all the spare layers and essentials you need on the hill, even in the depth of winter.
- Lightweight design without compromising on durability or comfort
- Attachments for carrying an ice axe or walking poles
- 3D foam vented back panel keeps your back cool
The Ledge offers comfort and stability in a slim and unobtrusive package that makes it ideal for mountaineering. An internal stiffener in the back support gives plenty of structure for load-bearing, and 3D foam cushioning with venting channels creates airflow for additional comfort.

The hip fins, dubbed ‘hip huggers’ by the product team, contour to your body for a secure and stable fit.
The main compartment is top-loading for easy packing, and quick to pull shut with a simple drawcord and single buckle top lid. Inside is a hydration sleeve and bladder hanging loop with a hydration port over the shoulder. The lid itself has a 4-litre capacity, with zipped pockets on top and underneath to help organise your gear. Stretchy side pockets will take larger water bottles and the hip fins have zipped mesh pockets, allowing you to get to snacks or small items like head torches and compasses without taking your pack off.
The Ledge has a floating lid and compressions straps on the side and over the main pocket to give you the flexibility of carrying smaller loads. Removable bungee cords and stowable loops provide attachments for walking poles and ice axes. The compression strap under the lid can also be used for carrying a rope or securing crampons.

I also found that the Ledge distributed weight evenly across my back as it offers a firmer back panel than the cheaper alternatives.
