The Bushbuck 45L Glacier Backpack has got your back for shorter adventures—from heavy day trips to light overnight missions and weekend escapes. Weighing only 2.3kg and designed to distribute weight evenly, this pack is built to cover distance comfortably.

Turn the Glacier 45L in to a beast of a Hiking Pack with the addition of the Glacier Hunting Bundle.

The Pack

The smart storage system includes a large main compartment you can access from the top or via a full-length middle zip, and two spacious zippered side pockets. You can load the 45L pack with your clothing layers, sleeping bag, food, cookware, and shelter.

Built to last, this pack is made from tough, recycled 300D polyester ripstop with a reinforced 500D Cordura® nylon base. A PFC-free TPU coating adds water resistance, abrasion resistance, and UV protection.

Outside, you’ll find a loop and lock system for an ice axe or walking poles; a dedicated tripod sleeve; daisy chain loops to secure extra gear; high-strength stitching; and reinforced straps and clips to keep everything in place. At the bottom, a small pouch provides storage for the Glacier Backpack Rain Cover (sold separately).

The Carbon Frame & Harness

At the core of the Bushbuck Glacier Backpack system is an ultra-light carbon fibre frame, designed for strength and versatility. The quick-change frame system allows for effortless adjustments—whether fine-tuning the shoulder straps for your torso length, resizing the waist belt, or swapping between the 45L bag and 85L bag.

Built to handle heavy loads with ease, the hip belt, shoulder pads, and lumbar support ensure even weight distribution and are crafted with dual-layer foam and air mesh for breathability and all-day comfort. The waist belt also features webbing loops for MOLLE attachments, plus two hip pockets for stashing snacks and essentials.
