Consumer Contract Regulations (CCR)

What are the Consumer Contract Regulations?

Under the "Consumer Contract Regulations, you have the right to cancel an order for goods made at a distance. These rights start from the moment you place your order and ends 14 days from the day you receive your goods.

Your right to cancel

Your right to cancel an order for goods starts the moment you place your order and ends 14 days from the day you receive your goods.

This 14 day period is the time you have to decide whether to cancel, you then have a further 14 days to actually send the goods back.

Your Right to a Refund under CCR

You may get a refund within 14 days of either, the trader getting the goods back, or you providing evidence of having returned the goods (for example, a proof of postage receipt from the post office), whichever is the sooner.

A deduction can be made if the value of the goods has been reduced as a result of you handling the goods more than was necessary. The extent to which you can handle the goods is the same as it would be if you were assessing them in a shop.

Refunding the cost of delivery

The trader has to refund the basic delivery cost of getting the goods to you in the first place, so if you opted for enhanced service e.g. guaranteed next day, it only has to refund the basic cost.

Exemptions

There are some circumstances where the Consumer Contracts Regulations does not give you a right to cancel. These include CDs, DVDs or software if you've broken the seal on the wrapping, perishable items and tailor-made or personalised items. They also include goods with a seal for health protection and hygiene reasons that have been broken or tampered with, e.g. Climbing Equipment and PPE.

My goods are broken

If you feel that your item is defective/broken/faulty and it is still under warranty, please contact our Customer Support team([email protected])with as much information as possible with regards to the fault, including photos if applicable.

We want to reduce our impact on the environment as much as possible, the first step for this is reducing our waste. Therefore, please note that we will always offer a professional repair in the first instance; if the product can be repaired.

This may involve your product being sent back to our suppliers or to a professional repair company. Please note that due tovaried procedures, warranty claims and repairs can take between 2 and 4 weeks to be concluded

YETI Skala Backpack 50 Ridgeline

Season:SS26

Brand:Yeti

Code:70000005745

RipZip™ Access — Fast, Vertical Entry The RipZip™ opening system allows quick vertical access to the main compartment without unloading from the top. It’s ideal for grabbing mid-pack gear on the move — layers, snacks or gloves — helping you stay efficient and keep momentum on steep, fast-moving mountain days.


What Is the YETI Skala 50L Pack?

The Skala 50L Hiking Pack is built for multi-day expeditions where comfort, balance and organisation are non-negotiable. Designed as a supportive load-hauling system rather than just a storage solution, it distributes weight efficiently, allowing you to carry more without sacrificing mobility.

An AlumaLite frame transfers weight to your hips and shoulders while maintaining flexibility on uneven terrain. Load lifters draw the pack closer to your body for improved balance, and a micro-adjust harness adapts to a range of torso lengths for a precise fit.

Durable yet lightweight Guardcore™ nylon, a vented mesh back panel and thoughtful organisation features make this pack equally capable on long-distance trails or weekend summit pushes.



Best For

  • Multi-day trekking
  • Backpacking expeditions
  • Long-distance trails
  • Mountain summits
  • Extended wilderness travel



Materials & Construction

Guardcore 420 HD Nylon Exterior

The primary shell fabric is 420 HD nylon treated with a carbonate coating for enhanced weather resistance. This combination provides a high strength-to-weight ratio, helping the pack resist abrasion, scrapes and light moisture without unnecessary bulk.

210D Nylon Birdseye Dobby with UHMWPE Reinforcement

High-wear zones are reinforced with ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) fibres woven into 210D nylon birdseye dobby. This dramatically increases tear resistance and durability in abrasion-prone areas while maintaining a lightweight build.

90D x 300D Nylon/Poly/Spandex Stretch Fabric

Exterior stretch pockets use a premium 4-way stretch blend that offers strong recovery and shape retention. This allows pockets to expand around gear like bottles or layers while maintaining a streamlined profile when empty.

Urethane Foam & Spacer Mesh Back System

The backpanel and harness are padded with urethane foam and covered in breathable spacer mesh. This construction cushions contact points while promoting airflow to reduce heat build-up on long climbs.

YKK AquaGuard No.10 Zippers

Large-gauge, water-resistant zippers feature a protective nylon coating, providing durable, smooth operation and added protection against rain and moisture.



What Are Its Features?

AlumaLite Internal Frame

A lightweight yet highly supportive internal frame transfers the majority of pack weight to your hips rather than your shoulders. It maintains structural integrity under load while flexing naturally with your movement, reducing fatigue on long ascents and uneven terrain.

Micro-Adjust Harness System

The harness system allows fine-tuning across a wide torso range, ensuring the pack sits correctly on your back. Proper adjustment improves load balance, prevents hot spots and increases overall carrying efficiency — especially critical during multi-day treks.

Load Lifters

Upper load lifter straps draw the top of the pack closer to your body, shifting weight forward and improving posture. This reduces backward pull and enhances stability when navigating steep inclines or technical trails.

Vented Mesh Back Panel

The suspended, ventilated back panel creates a channel of airflow between your back and the pack. This reduces heat build-up and sweat accumulation, helping maintain comfort in warm or humid conditions.

RipZip Opening System

The vertical RipZip opening provides fast, full-visibility access to the main compartment. Instead of unpacking from the top down, you can reach gear packed mid-bag quickly — ideal for accessing layers, food or equipment during the day.

Dedicated Sleeping Bag Compartment

A separate lower compartment isolates your sleeping bag from the rest of your kit. This keeps it protected and makes camp setup more efficient without disturbing other packed items.

Multiple Internal & External Pockets

Strategically placed pockets organise gear by category — from cookware and safety kits to headlamps and sunglasses — preventing unnecessary digging and maintaining balance through even weight distribution.

Stretch-Woven Hydration Holsters

Durable 4-way stretch side pockets expand securely around water bottles while maintaining compression when empty. Designed for easy reach without removing the pack.

YKK AquaGuard No.10 Zippers

Large-gauge, coated zippers provide reliable closure strength and resistance against moisture ingress, protecting contents during rain or wet trail conditions.

Skala Backpack Review

We’ve taken the Skala out on steep local climbs and long, up-and-down ridge days to see how it really carries and it feels properly mountain-ready. The frame gives it structure without stiffness, so the weight stays stable when you’re scrambling or pushing pace uphill. It sits close, doesn’t sway, and feels balanced even when fully loaded. If you’re planning summit days or technical hikes where support matters, this is the kind of pack that quietly does its job and lets you focus on the terrain ahead.

AlumaLite™ Frame The lightweight internal frame transfers weight efficiently to your hips and shoulders, improving balance and reducing fatigue on steep, uneven ground. It delivers real mountain stability without unnecessary bulk.
Ventilated Carry System A breathable spacer mesh back panel creates airflow between you and the pack, helping regulate temperature during sustained climbs and high-output hiking days.

FAQ

Is the YETI Skala 50L suitable for multi-day trips?

Yes. With 50 litres of capacity, the Skala 50L is built for extended mountain days, hut-to-hut trekking and lightweight multi-day adventures where you need space for extra layers, food and overnight gear.

Does the Skala 50L have a supportive frame?

It does. The AlumaLite™ internal frame provides structured load transfer, helping distribute weight efficiently to your hips and shoulders for improved comfort on longer carries.

How much weight can the Skala 50L carry comfortably?

Thanks to its frame, load lifters and adjustable harness system, the Skala 50L is designed to manage heavier loads while maintaining stability on steep or uneven terrain.

Is the Skala 50L waterproof?

The Guardcore™ nylon fabric is highly durable and weather-resistant, but the pack itself is not fully waterproof. For prolonged heavy rain, we recommend using a pack liner or rain cover.

Does it have ventilation on the back?

Yes. The ventilated spacer mesh back panel promotes airflow and helps reduce heat build-up during long ascents and sustained effort.

Is 50L too large for a single day hike?

For standard summer day hikes, it may be more capacity than needed. However, for winter conditions, technical routes or carrying climbing or camera equipment, the 50L offers valuable flexibility.

Can the Skala 50L be used for wild camping?

Yes. The 50L capacity makes it suitable for minimalist wild camping setups, especially when paired with lightweight sleep systems and compact gear.

Is the Skala 50L unisex?

Yes. The micro-adjust harness system allows for a wide fit range, making it suitable for different torso lengths and body types.
