Wilderness Equipment Canvas Breakout Pack Wilderness Equipment

There are Breakouts packs out there nearing the end of their second decade of continuous use with outdoor education units. We have included our sophisticated Synchro-FORM harness system on recent Breakout packs. This premium, unique harness system has benefits that are particularly relevant in the shared use, institutional equipment arena. Besides the advantage that the hip level of this system automatically adapts to any hip shape, it is by design particularly durable and, unlike any other hip harness on the market, its components are easily removed from the pack bag and simple to repair if accidentally damaged. For example, the hip pad laminated foam inserts can be removed from their 3D shells with the need to unpick a single stitch.

By cutting the canvas bag rim higher than usual and finishing it with a simple, strong, eyelet-free drawcord system we have avoided the durability problems typical of lightweight throats. The bag capacity has been increased a little and, to the top cover, we’ve added a convenient ‘camera pocket’. On the back of the pack, each side of the simple, zip-free, more-waterproof-than-any-other back pocket we’ve provided webbing loops so, if you like, shockcord lacing can be fitted.

Options and Accessories

If you require hip pads with a longer reach, size Large pads are available and can be exchanged for the standard Medium size fitted (provided these are not soiled or worn). If you are particularly slim and require smaller reach hip wings both the standard medium hip pads and medium hip plates need to be changed to size Small. (Small pads do not fit on the standard medium length plates).

Our universal side pockets, supplied in pairs, can be mounted on the Breakout’s side compression straps if you really need added capacity.

Canvas re-proofing solution is available through your backpack retailer.

For pack liner bags and dry sacs we recommend those produced by Sea to Summit: .au. The use of a dry-sac type pack liner bag will make this pack completely reliable during river-crossings and the wettest weather.
