ÜLA Rucksäcke

What makes a good long-distance hiking backpack?


 

- The material should be lightweight yet durable.

- Depending on the size, the weight should be around 1 kg.

- Different sizes should be available to find the perfect backpack for you.

- Hip pockets and large external pockets are important for carrying a wet tent, carrying water, and having essentials close at hand.

 

Because they perfectly meet these requirements, ÜLA Packs are the most commonly used backpacks on long-distance trails in the USA!

Absolutely proven backpacks with a perfect fit, ideal features, and low weight.

Excellent material and high-quality workmanship ensure long durability!

 

Chrispacks carries the most common models: the classic Circuit (68l volume, 1160g), the Ohm 2.0 (60l volume, 980g) and the CDT (54l volume, 730g).

We recently added the Epic to our range. Very suitable for long wilderness treks in wet areas. Can also be used well for packrafting trips.

 

The Circuit is the ideal backpack for major trekking tours. The strong carrying system ensures perfect load transfer. The Circuit also fits the bear canister, if your trail leads you to the PCT...;-). The Ohm has a more reduced carrying system and is our lightest 60l backpack. The CDT is aimed at experienced long-distance hikers who don't want a gram too much and for whom a simple carrying system is sufficient. Our favorite, for example, for fast alpine tours!

 

You can also find ÜLA accessories here, such as rain covers and accessory pouches.

 

To help you find your size more easily, here are the ÜLA back and hip belt lengths:

You can find out how to measure your back length here

 

ÜLA Back Lengths:


S = 38cm - 45cm

M = 45cm - 53cm

L = 53cm - 60cm

XL = 60cm +

 

If you are between two sizes, take the smaller size.

 

ÜLA offers 2 shoulder straps: "J" and "S" straps.

J straps are available in L lengths; for S and M, the S strap almost always makes sense.

For men with a normal torso, both usually fit. I would always recommend the S strap to a woman.

 

 

 

ÜLA Hip Belt Sizes:


XS = 66 - 76 cm

S = 76 - 86 cm

M = 86 - 96 cm

L = 96 - 106 cm

XL = 106 - 119 cm

XXL = 119 cm +

 

Here, too, if you are between two sizes, choose the smaller size.

 

(If you need an XS or XXL hip belt, I have them in stock. Just leave a short note with your order and we will exchange the hip belt.)

 

Women:

Measure the narrowest part of your waist and add 12cm.

Men:

Measure your waist and add 5cm.

 

Have fun with ÜLA!

 

PS: At Chrispacks, the hip belts are included in the price. You can leave a message with your order, simply specify the required hip belt size.
