Peak Design Outdoor Backpack 25L – Kelp

Backpack 25L

No two outdoor adventures are the same – your gear, environment and needs are constantly changing – and the Peak Design Outdoor Backpack 25L is a lightweight pack designed to handle every challenge without compromise. From its supremely comfortable carry system and large access openings to fully customisable internal and external organisation, the Peak Design Outdoor Backpack 25L uses a host of innovative features that work exactly as they should, so you can spend more time enjoying nature and less time wrestling with your gear. It is designed to work with a wide range of Peak Design organisers*, letting you tailor protection and organisation to any combination of clothing, supplies, camping gear, sports equipment or camera gear – from a single camera and lens to a complete professional creative kit.

Running-vest-style straps distribute the load from your shoulders and arms over more of your body, while providing ideal storage in two stretch mesh pockets – perfect for quick access to your phone or for carrying a soft flask. Both straps also feature mounting points for the Capture Camera Clip*. Add the optional padded, quick-attach and easily adjustable hip belt* for better support and extra storage (one zip pocket and one stash pocket), with another Capture Clip* mounting point. This backpack is highly abrasion-resistant and functionally waterproof thanks to Terra Shell™ 210D ripstop nylon, which is 100% recycled, Bluesign-approved, treated with a PFAS-free water-repellent finish and has an internal PU coating. The optional Rain Fly* provides full waterproof protection.

The Peak Design Outdoor Backpack 25L offers two ways in – a top entry with patented Ultra Cinch™ closure and a magnetic roll-top for easy packing and unpacking. The top entry gives quick access to the main compartment and the additional front Flex Pocket and offers up to 5 L of extra volume. A large back access panel makes packing easy and provides the ideal format for carrying photo and video gear in combination with Peak Design Camera Cubes*, which can be secured inside the backpack. 3 large external Flex Pockets™ give easy access to large items you want to keep handy (water bottles, trekking poles, jackets, tripods) while always keeping a clean look. External Cord Hook™ straps and elastic Gear Loops offer endless options for attaching items to the outside of the backpack, while the Cord Rails™ provide attachment points on every side. You can even attach Peak Design Ultralight Packing Cubes* for modular external storage.

Fair Trade certified.

Holds 1 Smedium Camera Cube with room on top for an X-Small Camera Cube. Designed for day adventures. Looking for something bigger? Take a look at the Outdoor Backpack 45L.
