The Bushbuck Glacier 85L Hiking Backpack is made to adapt, endure, and support your adventures—wherever they take you. We’ve taken everything we learned from our previous backpacks to engineer our most lightweight, versatile, high-performance hiking packs to date.

Turn the Glacier 85L in to a beast of a hunting pack with the Glacier Hunting Bundle.

The Pack

The Glacier 85L Backpack is ergonomically designed to keep you comfortable and in control when carrying heavy loads on multi-day missions. If you’re heading out for longer than a night or two, the 85L pack has plenty of space for your outdoor clothing, food and cookware, sleeping bag, tent, and extras.

Built to take a beating, the pack is made from highly durable, recycled 300D polyester ripstop, while the base is beefed up with heavy-duty 500D Cordura® nylon. The fabrics have a PFC-free TPU coating for enhanced water-repellency, abrasion resistance, and UV protection.

The Glacier Backpack’s smart storage system includes a large main compartment that can be accessed from the top or via a full-length middle zip, so you don’t have to dig everything out to find what you’re looking for. You’ve got spacious side pockets for stashing larger items, such as a spotting scope, bipod, drink bottle, and other accessories. There’s an internal water bladder compartment (up to 3L) and an outlet and clip for securing the hose to the shoulder strap.

The detachable 5L top compartment can be converted into a small carry bag or “bum bag”, ideal for carrying a jacket, water bottle, snacks, and other essentials when you’re heading on short side missions.

On the outside, the pack’s equipped with 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.

The Carbon Frame & Harness

The ultra-light carbon fibre frame is the backbone of the Bushbuck Glacier Backpack system. Thanks to the quick-change frame system, adjusting the Glacier pack’s size is simple—whether it’s modifying the height of the shoulder straps to suit your torso length, adjusting the waist belt, or quickly swapping out the 85L bag for the 45L bag.

Designed to make light work of heavy loads, the hip belt, shoulder pads, and lumbar support work to distribute the weight evenly and are made with dual-layer foam and air mesh for all-day comfort and breathability. 

The waist belt is equipped with webbing loops for MOLLE attachments if you need extra storage as well as two hip pockets for stashing snacks and essentials.
