Klim Nac Pak (including Hydrapak) in grey

Klim makes amazing gear, but writing about it is a pain in the neck, because there’s always so much bloody detail to talk about. And the Nac Pak is a case in point. It’s a complete monster! Let’s get into it.

With a total carrying capacity of around 13 litres, it is what one might term a medium-sized backpack. It’s made from a heavy-duty Nylon. In total you get some three main compartments, and a number of other pockets and holders; and that’s more than enough to ensure that you will never be able to find anything when you need it. There’s a compartment that will take something like a 15” laptop. The main compartment contains a 3-litre drinks bladder. But as the compartment is expandable, it’ll take a lot more than that. There’s a second compartment attached to the main one, and a third one designed to take a pair of goggles. There are another two attached to the harness. You also get a removable wallet that is meant to be used as a tool kit.

Like Kriega’s rucksacks, the Nak Pak has a full harness arrangement rather than just a set of shoulder straps. In fact, the Klim uses exactly the same buckle arrangement as the Kriega. The body-side of the backpack is heavily padded for comfort.

We could go on, but actually we think that Klim’s video about the Nak Pak is brilliant and will tell you more in under a minute than could be conveyed in a ten-minute written description. If you like the idea of the Nac Pak, watch it!
