The 85L Glacier Backpack is engineered for comfort, control, and carrying heavy loads on multi-day backcountry missions. Designed to keep you moving without weighing you down, this pack has space for all the essentials—outdoor clothing, food and cookware, sleeping bag, tent, and your hiking and hunting equipment. With the frame included, it tips the scales at only Xkg—our lightest multi-day pack yet.

Built to endure, the pack is crafted from durable, recycled 300D polyester ripstop, with a heavy-duty 500D Cordura® nylon base. A PFC-free TPU coating provides additional water resistance, abrasion resistance, and UV protection.

The spacious main compartment is accessible from the top or a full-length middle zip, so you can reach what you need without digging everything out. Generous side pockets are ideal for larger items like a spotting scope, bipod, water bottle, or other gear, and there’s a dedicated compartment inside for a hydration bladder, complete with an outlet and shoulder strap clip for the drinking hose.

For short side trips, the detachable 5L top compartment quickly converts into a handy bum bag, ideal for stashing a jacket, water bottle, binoculars, and other essentials. You can also remove it entirely to cut down on weight when you don’t need the extra storage.

The pack’s exterior is kitted out for versatility: ice axe storage; a tripod sleeve; daisy chain webbing loops for extra gear; and high-quality straps and clips to keep everything locked down tight. A small bottom pouch holds the Glacier Backpack Rain Cover (sold separately).

The Bushbuck Glacier 85L Pack has been designed to provide everything you need—and nothing you don’t—so you can haul heavy and hike light.

This product can only be used if you already own a Glacier Pack with a frame and harness.
