Frequently asked Questions.

The Agilist is systematically designed for ultralight trekking and minimal gear. It features a stripped-down carrying system and is extremely light with a slim packed size. The Endurist on the other hand, it offers a somewhat more stable carrying system and can therefore comfortably carry heavier loads (up to approx. 18 kg). It is completely customisable, allowing you to select padding, pockets and materials very individually, for example.

Dyneema® Composite Fabrics (DCF) points with extremely low weight and high tear resistance. Perfect for anyone focused on maximum weight saving. VX21 (X-Pac) on the other hand, features outstanding abrasion resistance and has a slightly higher surface weight of 210 g/m². If you often travel in rough terrain, VX21 can be more advantageous in the long run.

Ultra 200X is a high-performance laminate from Challenge Sailcloth weighing 133 g/m². It combines a high proportion of UHMWPE fibres (67 %) with a black CrossPly reinforcement grid, which ensures high dimensional stability. The fabric does not stretch, even under heavy loads. It also features a waterproof film made from 100 % recycled PET on the inside. In terms of tear and abrasion resistance, Ultra 200X outperforms the previous VX21 whilst having a significantly lower grammage.

All three materials are waterproof and UV-resistant. DCF is the lightest, VX21 is the thickest and most abrasion-resistant in its weight class, and Ultra 200X offers the best balance between durability and weight. Which material is right for you depends primarily on your intended use and the desired balance between weight and durability.

The Agilist has a total volume of approximately 54 litres (incl. external pockets). We currently do not offer a smaller variant as standard. However, thanks to the rolltop closure and compression straps, you can reduce the usable volume and make the backpack more compact.

The roll-top closure is rolled down at the top and secured with a buckle. This allows you to flexibly adjust the main compartment to the volume of your load. When carrying a lot of gear you roll it down less, when carrying little gear you roll it down more. This ensures you only ever use as much space as you actually need.

The Agilist 2026 It is made from waterproof Ultra 200X fabric and has taped seams. This means it offers a very high level of protection against the elements. A separate rain cover or pack liner is not necessary in the vast majority of situations. However, during several days of heavy rain, a lightweight pack liner may be a sensible extra precaution.

At Endurist and on older Agilist models, the seams are not taped. The fabric itself (X-Pac or Ultra 200X) is waterproof, but moisture can seep in through the seams. In this case, we recommend a rucksack liner or dry bags for sensitive equipment.

To ensure that a lightweight trekking rucksack fits well, they are often offered in different back lengths. These vary from person to person. The back length is defined as Distance between the 7th cervical vertebra and the upper margin of the pelvic bone measured. You can easily determine this distance with a tape measure.

When you place your chin on your chest, the Cervical vertebra the one that sticks out the furthest. You can easily feel it with your hand. You can find the upper edge of your hip bone by placing your hands on your hips with your thumbs pointing towards your spine. The iliac crest is located between your thumbs and marks the lower point of your back length.

Ideally, a second person will help you determine and measure your back length.

Another way to find the right backpack size is via the Height to go by. While these values are not as precise as the back length, they give a good guideline.

If you’re between two back lengths, I’d recommend choosing the shorter one. That’s because on the Agilist, the standard Load Lifters positioned above the shoulder straps. This allows you to pull the shoulder straps up a little and better adjust them to your body shape. Load lifters also stabilise the pack when there is more luggage in the backpack.

We regret that we are unable to carry out alterations, modifications or repairs on backpacks from other manufacturers.

The Agilist 2026 It has taped seams and is made from Ultra 200X, a waterproof laminate. This means a separate rain cover or pack liner isn’t necessary in most situations. In the event of continuous rain lasting several days, or if you want to be on the safe side, a lightweight pack liner provides additional protection for your kit.

For all other models, the following applies: X-Pac and similar materials are already highly water-repellent. It’s best to pack important items in dry bags or a waterproof rucksack liner. A separate rain cover also works, but it often doesn’t fit roll-top rucksacks quite perfectly.

Many camera bags can be attached to shoulder straps or hip belts using webbing loops, Velcro or clips. You can also use the well-known CaptureClip (Peak Design) to carry a DSLR or mirrorless camera directly on your shoulder straps.

Yes, our daisy chains allow you to flexibly attach gear (e.g. trekking poles, sleeping mats, lightweight bags) to the outside of the backpack. Just make sure not to place very heavy loads outside the centre of gravity.

Make sure you don’t let sharp edges come into contact with the inside of the rucksack without protection, and avoid dragging the rucksacks across rocks. That way, you’ll be able to enjoy them for a long time to come.
