Tiny but mighty, the 40 litre Traverse is compact, comfy and designed to last. Constructed using our hearty WATERLOC canvas and faithful EXACT FIT Mid harness, with simple top-loading entry for fuss-free organisation. The refined design stops it snagging on rocks or shrubs during your next crag day or overnight stay. The adaptable attachment system lets you attach gear so your hands are free, and you can add optional inserts and Hipbelt Pockets. Gear AttachmentThe ONE PLANET attachment system allows you to secure your technical gear and equipment efficiently and easily, while permitting full access to the pockets and Traverse backpack body – important for testing conditions and big adventures. Add-ons like Hipbelt Pockets and Trash & Treasure bags can customise your set-up with the Traverse. Exact Fit Mid HarnessThe EXACT FIT Mid is a lightweight harness that offers serious support, with a Goldilocks carrying capability of between 5 and 20 kilograms. It’s available in fits for both males and females across three sizes, with interchangeable hipbelts and shoulder straps allowing a personalised fit. Grippy air mesh improves both ventilation and pack-to-body adherence for enjoyable bushwalking. The EXACT FIT Mid is the harness of choice for overnight trips and lightweight adventures. EXACT FIT MID fitting instructions Harness ConstructionA good harness is the foundation of every rucksack: when you load up and head off you’ll agree! Our laminated three-layer foam delivers solid support, plush comfort and a breathable contact area, with protective treatment against bacteria and rot. Our hardened aluminium frames are hand-bent, strong and light for efficiently transferring load to the lumbar pad, with channelling to increase rigidity. The double-back hipbelt contours to your body, providing support and easy fit. Don't Sweat ItWe’ve combined practical understanding of bushwalking and clever design to maximise ventilation and manage moisture. There are three essential contact areas on our harnesses – both shoulders and the lower lumbar – to allow healthy carrying. Air mesh lets air flow through harness foams, while space around the spine increases natural ventilation. The secure fit allows uninhibited movement of non-contact areas, improving harness comfort when walking and scrambling. Don’t sweat it. Waterloc CanvasMade in Australia specifically for ONE PLANET, our WATERLOC canvas (390 gsm) is tightly woven and core spun, constructed from a polyester thread wrapped in cotton. The polyester core gives strength, while the cotton wrap expands when moist, providing superior water resistance. Once woven into fabric, it’s impregnated with rot inhibitors and waterproofing agents. The seams of our WATERLOC canvas bags are also bound with four-fold, 227-gsm canvas binding for reliable weatherproofing. Add-OnsONE PLANET intentionally design rucksacks that are clean, simple and functional. Optional add-ons give you the power to personalise your set-up with features you want. Add a convenient Hipbelt Pocket so what you need is at hand: on the right, left or both. Choose the Trash & Treasure to add versatility: this four litre external pocket attaches easily via side compression straps. Build the Traverse that works for you and save when purchasing as a bundle. It's The Little ThingsWe’ve got this game stitched up! Quality threads, twin needles, bar tacks for reinforcement and strength. Non-crack nylon buckles that bend rather than break. Durable, chunky YKK zips. The water-resistant webbing used on load-carrying straps means you won’t be given the slip. We consider every detail, creating big differences in use. Water Bottle PocketsWater is critical, and never far from a bushwalkers’ mind. Our generously-cut bottle pockets are low and handy, making water accessible and putting weight close to your back for ergonomic load carrying. Perfect for bottles of all sizes (designed for 1L Nalgene’s), they also have a drain hole, preventing your pockets becoming buckets when it’s raining cats and dogs. Made In MelbourneWe keep it pretty simple. We take what we’ve learnt over the last 40 years and use it to make the best gear we can for antipodean adventures.
