Kit Bags

Your kit bag is an essential all round piece of outdoor gear. Designed primarily to transport lots of clothing and equipment on your expeditions. Once on your climb or trek you will of course decant specialist equipment and kit into your rucksack and leave your kit bag at base camp. Today a good quality kit bag can be used for so much more. It can become an overnight bag, a weekend bag, a holdall, your sports bag or for carrying files into the office. Osprey produce a range of Transporter bags ranging from 46 to 95 litres. They are perfect for weekend trips or full on ski tours where you will have plenty of gear. Made from tough fabric with high quality zips, buckles and handles they will stand up to plenty of travel abuse. Ortlieb have a great range of travel bags called the rack pack range. Similar to Ortlieb panniers in their concept, and made in Germany, they are based on a very simple design and whilst made originally for the motorbike market they are versatile enough to be used in any outdoor environment. They are made from a waterproof tarpaulin which has welded seams. They have a roll top closure, compression straps, carry handles and a shoulder strap. Their simplicity is their beauty. Ideal for camping, cycling, sailing or for carrying your sports kit. Bombproof and hard wearing and available in a massive range of colours. Hard to top really. Finally, to keep all your luggage bags clean and safe from prying eyes or conveyor belts wrap them up neatly in the Vaude backpack protector. You can fit your rucksack, baby carrier or kitbag inside and chuck into the hold with an added sense of security.
