The Sherpa 60:70 Rucksack from Vango is a 60+10L all-around rucksack that features an adjustable back system so you can dial in the fit for efficiency and comfort. Made from durable materials, it will be able to keep up with you on those multi-day hikes and expeditions for years to come. To improve the comfort and fit, it has AirMesh straps so air can flow through them so you don't get strap sweat and also an adjustable shaped harness for your hips.

One of the most popular hiking rucksacks, the Sherpa is fully equipped with the Self to Adjust back system, durable components, and clever features giving an edge when it comes to efficient load control and performance.

Vango has made the Sherpa change size from 60L to 70L thanks to expansion zip side pockets, giving plenty of storage space for any extra items you might need on your DofE expeditions. This generous size is carried by the Self Adjust back system, adaptable to backs of almost any size and designed to carry weight with comfort all day long. The adjustable harness is shaped to provide an optimum fit and the air mesh in the shoulder straps provide a steady airflow. The sternum strap with whistle provides extra support when carrying heavier loads. This ‘S’ version is designed for those with a shorter back length, measuring between 46-56cm from hip to C7 vertebrae.

There are plenty of pockets for storage and easy access, with a very important OS map-sized pocket with a water-resistant zip, two zips pockets in the lid, expansion side zip pockets, and an optional compartment divider; useful for separating wet and dry kit at the bottom of your bag. The practicality then goes further, with a zip pocket on the waist belt that’s ideal for snacks when on the move!

The main rucksack fabric is 600D Excel Polyester; tough, rugged, and backed with PU for extra strength. Although it’s highly water-resistant, Vango has included a high visibility rain cover just in case the weather takes a serious turn and it starts raining heavily, rounding off a rucksack that’ll see you go all the way from your Bronze DofE through to Gold and beyond.
