Top Travel Bags and Packs
Whether you’re backpacking, camping, or voyaging to unexplored places, the question remains – what to do with all your stuff? From cold weather treks to warm weather retreats, it’s vital to have a bag capable of holding all your kit whenever and wherever adventure beckons. Comfortable, versatile, durable, and stylish, your bag should provide ample storage and support on your travels and remains an essential piece of kit for any intrepid explorer. Whatever the occasion, you need to select a pack capable of keeping your clothing and equipment safe and secure and able to take the weight off your shoulders with comfortable straps and lash points.
Tough and Dependable
Mountain Equipment Roller Kit Bag
The Roll Bag is the wheeled duffel designed to take away on challenging adventures and rugged outdoor expeditions, where bringing all the necessary equipment is a necessity. So whether it’s a weekend away climbing the crag with the 70L, or a week-long trekking adventure abroad with the 100L, the Mountain Equipment Roller Bag is equipped to carry it all and take every bump in the road along the way.
The outer fabric of the pack is incredibly robust, made from a tough waterproof tarpaulin with nylon webbing and a reinforced base for exceptional performance with heavy loads, in even the worst of conditions. The reinforced carry straps and haul handles help when lugging the bag into transport and through bustling streets, while the low profile wheels and retractable handle make busy airport terminals a breeze. Providing a series of compression straps for stabilising your gear for the long haul, a host of interior pockets for separating out your clothing and kit, and a wide U-shaped lid for easy access – there’s not an awful lot this Mountain Equipment duffel can’t handle out there.
The Weekend Away Adventure Pack

Designed to fit comfortably and close for the long haul with a stable fit and carry construction, this pack comes complete with a die-cut harness, Osprey’s well-known injection moulded Airscape HDPE back panel, and EVA ridged foam padding at the rear - comfortably fitting to the back and allowing ventilation during high-energy output and warmer weather hikes. Plenty of zippered inner and outer pockets including walking pole attachments, gear loops and even a Hydraulics Reservoir external hydration sleeve make this a pack that you can take on excursions big and small. Coming in at just over 1kg, this is the bag for the weight-conscious backpacker who wants to take in the view without everything weighing them down.

Providing you with comfortable, removable padded shoulder straps and wide, reinforced grab handles for lugging through airport terminals and into the back of transport, it makes travel a breeze…
The Planet-Friendly Backpacker's Go-To
Osprey Farpoint and Women's Fairview 40 and 70L Travel Packs
Adaptability and versatility are key with this pack. The 70L capacity is the perfect size to fit all your kit, with a 55L main bag for all your clothing and equipment and a piggy-back system 15L detachable daypack to use as a carry-on or day-excursion bag for trips out when needed. But that’s not all. When needing to be placed into the aircraft hold or back of a coach or pickup, this rucksack also comes with lockable zippers and a simple back system zippered cover, giving protection, durability, and peace of mind.
A sweaty, uncomfortable back while waiting in airport queues or navigating busy city streets is also a problem of the past, as Osprey’s iconic ventilating and fully adjustable Airscape Back System with ridged foam for comfort and a breathable hip belt means your kit won’t be weighing you down on excursions and treks.
Providing all the features you need for escapes away, including an assortment of zippered pockets and organisation sleeves for all your clothing and kit, external gear loops and dual compression straps to cinch in a jacket and tools, a slide-adjustable chest strap with emergency whistle, and wide, comfortable side and top grab handles for easy carrying and manoeuvrability – this is the pack made for the go-getters.
For the Off-Road Trailblazers
Osprey Rolling Transporter 90L Wheeled Duffel
There’s no doubt about it. Travel can be tough on luggage. Dents, scratches and tears – the outside and rigours of airline and van travel can take their toll on you, your case, and the equipment you choose to carry within it. With a fully recycled, highly durable polyester TPU-coated outer, fully reinforced base, overlapping rain flaps, and a chemical-free PFC-Free Durable Water Repellent finish designed to protect your clothing and equipment from the damp, Osprey has designed the Transporter to keep your belongings safe, secure and free from wear and tear. The double zippers with eyelets give you the ability to snap on a TSA-approved padlock should you need it, while the large main compartment with an internal divider gives you plenty of space for even the bulkiest of adventure equipment pieces.
Providing all the means on a true off-roader along with subtle traveller-friendly nods such as lockable zippers, an ID card holder, a tuck-away strap pocket, and lofty side and top grab handles suitable for lugging into the back of your pickup – this is the bag for those truly determined to explore it all.
When Comfort is Key
Osprey Aether / Ariel 55L Rucksack
What makes the Aether different from other leading trekking backpacks is its complete dedication to creating the best fit for its wearer. An injection moulded Airscape HDPE back panel with foam ridges provides exceptional comfort, loadbearing and ventilation on sweaty ascents – for complete stability and security. The innovative webbing slide adjustment ensures comfort from the beginning of the trek to the end of the day campsite, with the addition of a customizable Fit-on-the-Fly harness, hip belt, and shoulder straps to provide a fully adjustable torso that gives near-perfect customization and fit to the wearer.
But don’t let these comfort features fool you into thinking this isn’t a pack still suited to the trailhead, as the Aether still has the functionality and durability to reliably breeze through the ardours of multi-day backpacking treks with ease. With over ten internal and external zippered pockets and dividers for your kit, attachment points for your walking poles, sleeping pad and twin ice axes, both internal and outer compression straps for layering pieces and an integrated rain cover and reflective print at the rear to keep you seen, even in low-lighting - the Aether will become your new best friend for climbs, treks, and everything in-between.
For The Conscious Commuters
Osprey Ozone 36L 4-Wheel Carry On
As much as being eco-conscious means buying more products with sustainable materials and credentials, it also means buying products that will stand the test of time. With high weather performance and longevity thanks to its water-repellent finish and durable, high-tenacity nylon and High Road LT4 Framer make-up, this is a pack made to perform its best, season after season.
But green features aren’t the only thing this bag brings to this list, as a series of internal dividers and zippered pockets - including a protective safety sleeve capable of fitting a 16” laptop - make packing and unpacking a breeze. Additional items of this weekend-worthy suitcase include; a high clearance chassis, durable, multi-directional 50mm wheels, weather-proof YYK Racquet coil zipper, and a monopole add-a-bag feature that allows another bag to easily clip to the top for ease of movement in urban environments.
For The Whole Family
Osprey Poco Child Carrier
For on-the-go sun protection on warm summer hikes, the rapid deploy UPF22-rated Poco Sun-Shade protects your little cargo from harmful sun rays, making the perfect shaded spot for an afternoon nap on trips to the beach. And when the weather takes a turn for the worse, deploy the integrated rain cover to protect your little one from heavy rainfall. Easy to fold away and store and even easier to pop together ready for adventure - don't compromise on your hikes. Ditch the pram and pick up the Poco for whole family days spent in the hills.
Don't Forget The Accessories!
Multimat Compact Kumfie Sit Mat
Designed by using a fully waterproof and non-absorbent closed-cell foam, this mat is rugged, long-lasting, and durable. Unfolded, it gives a 38 x 38cm sitting space that’s both comfortable and thermally insulating on colder surfaces – making it as ideal for buses, planes and waiting room floors as it is for the dusty, rocky, rambling trails. Able to be folded down and slotted into a rucksack, carry-on bag, or duffel and grabbed at a moment’s notice, this handy compact mat is the ideal indoor and outdoor accessory - able to be slipped into a pocket and taken away wherever, whenever.
