This men’s rucksack can be quickly and easily adjusted to fit. For a wider variety of torso-lengths, these packs come complete with dual load-lifter points on the upper frame. This ensures that the harness will remain comfortable in any position it is placed. A large padded hipbelt provides a comfort fit and aids in carrying heavier loads in the pack.

The Rook 65 features all of the essentials for multi-day backpacking trips; a large capacity with upper lid and lower sleeping-bag compartment access points. An internal divider provides a separated lower compartment which can be unfastened easily when not in use. The pack remains stable thanks to multiple compression straps that do not interfere with the mesh water-bottle pockets. Dual hipbelt pockets and a large top-lid pocket with key-clip attachment provide easy access to smaller equipment.

The rucksack is also compatible with Osprey’s Daylite daypacks; you are able to attach the smaller pack onto the bigger pack. This in turn, expands the capacity and provides the option for leaving the larger pack at camp should a shorter trip require just the daypack

Made from highly durable fabric, the Falcon 21 can charge up to 2 devices simultaneously (1 via USB and 1 via DC) and the high-efficiency monocrystalline cells from SunPower™ produce 25-35% more power compared to conventional cells – meaning your devices need never be without juice.

Firepot Food

Firepot has been five years in the making. As adventurists trekking through Greenland, we wanted our hikes to be punctuated by slow-cooked, natural food that tasted delicious. We wanted a healthy, hearty meal that didn’t weigh us down or keep us waiting. And we couldn’t find it anywhere.

So we made our own in a Dorset barn — delicious, nutritious, dehydrated slow-cooked meals inspired by our travels. We’ve kept it lightweight and easy to use so it can be enjoyed from the heights of the Himalayas to the fjords of Chile. All you have to do is add water.

Our recipes have been developed over months of tweaking, experimenting with flavour combinations and trying out different ingredients to maximise nutrition, not just taste. We’ve taken each of our ingredients and worked out how to ensure it arrives in your bowl just as it would in your own kitchen — delicious, perfectly cooked, with its nutritional integrity.
