Skala™ Women's 32L Hiking Pack

There are several things to consider when choosing the right backpack, starting with your trip length. Will it be a day-long excursion, weekend backpacking trip, or a multi-week adventure? This question will help determine how much gear you’ll need to carry. If your trip is short and your gear is minimal, a smaller pack may work. If you’re going on a longer trek and want to bring more gear, bulkier and heavier items, or need a dedicated compartment for a sleeping bag, you should opt for a larger pack as this will require additional space. Next, think about the season and the weather conditions. In the summer, or in warmer climates, you can pack less, while autumn and winter trips will call for extra layers and additional gear. Finally, consider your packing style. If you’re comfortable with fewer items, a smaller pack is ideal. If you prefer bringing extra comforts from home and don’t mind the added weight, go for the larger pack. For more detailed recommendations, check out our buying guide.

To adjust the harness for the best fit and most comfortable carry, start by setting the torso length using the adjustable harness system. Next, tighten the hip belt so it sits snugly on your hip bones, then adjust the shoulder straps to bring the pack closer to your back. Finally, adjust the load lifters and the sternum strap for optimal balance and stability. For more detailed step-by-step instructions, visit our Fitting & Sizing Guide.

No, the storage capacity does not change with the different harness sizes of the Skala™ Hiking Pack. The harness size only affects how the bag fits your body, not how much gear it holds. For example, if you choose a size Small in a 50 L pack and your friend chooses a size Large in the same 50 L pack, both packs will have the same 50 L capacity, they will just be adjusted differently for each individual fit.

• 420 HD Nylon: The exterior of the pack has a durable carbonate coating for superior weather resistance in a lightweight build. 
• 210D Nylon Birdseye Dobby: High-abrasion zones are reinforced with ultra-strong UHMWPE fibers for enhanced durability without added weight. 
• 90D x 300D Nylon/Poly/Spandex: Exterior pockets have a premium 4-way stretch with excellent recovery and a streamlined look. 
• Urethane Foam & Spacer Mesh: The back panel and harness are padded and breathable for superior comfort and ventilation. 
• YKK® Aquaguard® No. 10 Zippers: Large gauge zippers with a weather-resistant nylon coating give you strong closure you can trust. 

The side pockets of the Skala™ Hiking Pack can fit up to a 34 oz Yonder® Water Bottle. If you prefer insulated drinkware, it also accommodates the 36 oz Rambler® Water Bottle.

Most hydration reservoirs, up to a 3L capacity, should be compatible with the Skala™ Hiking Pack.
