What is the Impassable 20L?
Weighing a mere 680g, the Impassable is a lightweight, 20-litre backpack designed for done-in-a-day adventures, whether hill walking, hiking, rambling, or even heading out for a day in the city.
What is it made of?
Main material: Mipan® regen robic nylon provides maximum abrasion resistance for rugged environments. It's puncture and tear-resistant, and features a solution-dyed ripstop grid for maximum durability to ensure it lasts years of adventures. Though durable, this fabric doesn't compromise when it comes to the environment! It's a GRS-certified recycled material with an environmentally friendly UTS coating, giving it some extra eco-friendly credentials.
Base: The bottom of the pack is reinforced with heavy-duty twill to ensure the pack doesn't simply wear away after taking a beating. So, no matter if you're using it daily for the morning commute, fetching the groceries or taking it into burly mountain terrain at the weekend, it'll give you a reliable carry all the way back home.
Lining: Inside is lined with nylon taffeta, another super durable fabric that helps to protect belongings inside and provides a nice handle without adding excessive bulk.
Carry system: The shoulder straps, hip belt and backpanel use a stretchy, woven fabric that provides comfort and enhanced breathability to minimise sweat build-up under crucial contact points.
Which back system does it use?
The Impassable 20L uses a contoured, anatomically curved back panel featuring body-mapped foam that provides a more precise fit, optimising comfort and support for longer adventures and heavier loads.
Ventilation at the back ensures reduced sweat build-up in more prone areas, which is especially handy for hiking and adventuring in warmer conditions.
An Open Range Hipbelt enhances stability without compromising freedom of movement. The belt is articulated to provide a secure, comfortable fit that doesn't feel restrictive, whether travelling across flat ground or tackling a steep incline.
Contoured shoulder straps also sit over the shoulders more precisely, helping to prevent the weight from the load from being pulled down into your shoulders and lower back, potentially causing pains and aches - the last thing you want on a fun day out in the hills!
What are its features?
Top-loading access with a zip closure make it easy to access your belongings. When loaded, you can also compress the pack to stop everything inside from wobbling around using the adjustable side webbing straps.
The internal hydration pocket can store water bladders of up to two litres. This pocket has a built-in bladder hook to keep it from slumping right to the bottom, a discreet routing port for drinking tubes and a hose clip to keep the tube from flapping around as you move.
For daily errands and morning commutes, there's a padded side pocket with a safe-carry mesh floor inside, designed to keep electricals safe - it fits a laptop up to 15 inches (38cm). Two stretchy mesh side pockets are ideal for carrying water bottles and travel mugs. The front quick-stash pocket is perfect for slipping a map or guidebook into, while the two front zip pockets and an internal organisation pocket allow you to securely stow away more valuable essentials like a mobile phone or a wallet. One of two zipped pockets also has a key clip to ensure they don't fall out of your bag on the move.
Webbing and bungee cord loops and an external daisy chain attachment are also great for storing more bulky items or trekking poles without wasting valuable space inside.
Last but not least, if you're in a hurry and don't have time to fully mount the pack, you can use the top grab handle to carry it.
