Holiday

The Holiday is designed for the adventurer, someone who intends to travel for an extended period of time. This backpack is designed to offer the astute buyer an equal competitor to the most expensive backpacks on the world market. The SHS Harness System used in this backpack is the result of three years of development by the White Mountain™ Team and has been tested extensively in South West Tasmania. The SHS Harness System used in this backpack is the successor of the SSS Harness and is a true unisex harness with contoured shoulder straps and extra material on the anchor position of the hip belt to allow true contouring over the hips.  The quoted capacity of either 60 L, 70 L or 80 L does not take into account the extra capacity in the daypack. This would add conservatively 10 L to the quoted capacity of the Holiday, bringing the total capacity to either 70 L, 80 L or 90 L respectively. The material is 950D Kodra, one of the strongest and most durable synthetic products on the world market, and a fabric often used on military backpacks for strength and abrasive resistance. All fabric for White Mountain™ Backpacks is manufactured by Kolon Int. in Korea, a highly reputable and leading world fabric manufacturer that produces high quality synthetic materials.

There are two compartments on this backpack, the upper and lower divided by a zip division so you can use the backpack as one compartment, or two compartments. It has two suitcase carry handles, (one on the side and one on top), a removable 15 litre daypack (that has no internal compartments), one shoulder sling, and a zipped cover over the harness (the harness cover and shoulder sling can both be folded and stored at the base of the backpack). We also provide a facility to attach the daypack without using the zips, a handy option when attaching a very full daypack. Inside this backpack there is two internal compression straps with a removable organiser, a full wet proof pocket on the inside of the front loading (panel opening) lid, which is great for storing laundry, or the temporary storage of damp clothing, and six external compression straps. The two lower, or sleeping bag compression straps are long enough to accommodate a sleeping mat if required, or can also be used to strap extra gear to your backpack. There are four D-Rings on top of this backpack, which allows you to add further compression straps and secure more gear on top of your backpack if required.

The Holiday has a larger daypack of 20.5 L that has an internal organiser and a facility to install a water reservoir complete with an exit point for the water reservoir hose.

Please Note:

  • The specials have either the superseded SSS or SYS Harness System, and neither of these has the water reservoir facility or organiser within the removable daypack.
