Description

The iconic High Plains rucksack is the go-to outdoor education pack, designed for extended programs and large fleets. Refined and improved over decades (most recently with the addition of the FLOWLITE harness), the intuitive design combines the comfort of a premium lightweight bushwalking model with functional, easy-to-use features, durable construction and legendary reliability.

The High Plains is available with two choices of fabric body: Nylon and Canvas. We’ve chosen high-tenacity nylon CORDURA with HTP grid as it’s lightweight, hard-wearing and easy to clean, so your fleet stays looking professional. The WATERLOC canvas model is highly resistant to water and abrasion, incredibly strong and has the longest lifespan.

The FLOWLITE harness is built for air flow, comfort and supportive load carrying. Available in four sizes, fit adjustment is easily made using hook-and-loop attachments on the pack frames, ensuring your fleet fits a wide range of young people.

Essential outdoor ed features include: colour-coding by harness size for easy selection; large accessible front and lid pockets; side-compression straps, side stash pockets and extended mat loops so it’s easy to attach woks, poo tubes, skis and more. Other standout features include: well-placed water-bottle pockets, chunky #10 YKK zips, non-slip webbing, non-crack nylon buckles, pockets with rounded corners, and supportive, high-tensile aluminium frames for awesome durability over years of use.

Prepare for success with One Planet outdoor education rucksacks, proudly designed and made in Melbourne. The High Plains Nylon pack is colour-coded by harness size for easy organisation in the field and gear shed. Each has a similar appearance and capacity.
