Description
The Tarkine is a classic bushwalking rucksack with modern practicality and ingenuity. With an 85 litre capacity (medium), a multitude of gear attachment points, huge front pocket and floating lid, it is a workhorse of a pack. An EXACT FIT harness provides comfort and adjustability while the WATERLOC canvas body gives incredible water-resistance and durability. With Cordura nylon reinforcement in high-wear areas, a double base, hydration compatibility and optional add-ons, this is a rucksack for years of happy exploration.
- EXACT FIT harness is endorsed by the CPAA (Chiropractors’ Association of Australasia)
