U-Turn’s Jumbo III rucksack is a 190 litre pack, designed for ease of use and carrying comfort.
It is made from lightweight materials so that it doesn’t add too much to your kit weight, and its cone shape makes it easy to pack, and ensures the majority of the weight is high up on your back for comfortable carrying.
Lie the bag on its front on the ground, and open it wide with the diagonal zip. This means only the front of the pack gets damp – not your kit, or the bit you are about to put next to your back.
Two easy-reach pockets house a drinks bottle and a mesh pocket where you can store energy bars etc, for easy refuelling on the go. There is also a hoser-style drinks container holder.
An internal mesh compartment at the top of the sack, inside the lid, protects your helmet and vario, and there is a smaller external lid pocket for your wallet and keys.
U-Turn say the ergonomically-designed carrying system is easily adjustible while the back is padded where it needs to be, and well-vented.
