Need for speed

Light and fast outdoor gear might be on trend, but it’s definitely not a fad. Being able to reduce the weight and bulk you bring on the trail makes a real difference and allows you to go further and explore more, the trick is to find the balance between speed and comfort. The new Gallagator packs are a great example of going minimalist but still being packed with all the useful things you’d need from a trail pack. The harness takes its inspiration from running vests and is designed to stick to your back like a monkey when moving fast and also has stretch mesh pockets on the shoulder straps so you don’t have to stop to grab those sunglasses or snacks. Quick zip access to the main compartment also makes it a breeze to grab whatever you need as conditions change. The 10 and 15 litre versions are ideal for those shorter but higher intensity times out on the trail and the 20 and 25 litre sizes add that little bit of extra capacity as well as having the iconic 3-Zip Mystery Ranch main compartment entry.
