The Big Turtle is Trail Bum's take on the perfect day pack, now updated with improved materials and construction. It has a top-loading design with a roll-top closure for easy yet weatherproof access to the main compartment. A retention strap keeps the roll neatly packed after closing, maintaining a streamlined profile whether you're hiking or moving through the city. The front mesh pocket handles small items and quick-access essentials, whilst the back features removable padding. Premium versions use Spectra fabric for exceptional strength-to-weight ratios, whilst standard options offer the same proven design in more accessible materials. At 13–19 litres with a 290g weight, it's sized for day hikes, short missions, or everyday use when you want something more capable than a sling but less involved than a full backpack. The kind of pack that's equally at home on the trail or at the pub afterwards, which is exactly where many good hikes end anyway.
If you’re the kind of hiker who measures pack weight in grams rather than kilos, who knows their base weight down to the last stuff sack, and who's figured out that carrying less means walking further, Trail Bum is built for you.
Created by Japanese ultralight pioneer Tomoya Tsuchiya – owner of cult Tokyo outdoor store Hiker's Depot – this is his backpacking philosophy distilled into packs that strip away everything unnecessary. The brand name says it all: these are bags for people who'd rather spend time on the trail than living in the city, designed with the streamlined simplicity that reflects that lifestyle. No excess features, no unnecessary weight, just functional gear that lets you focus on the path ahead.
Tsuchiya introduced ultralight hiking in Japan when it was still considered radical, opening his store in 2008 and championing the idea that reducing your load isn't about being lightly equipped – it's about distilling kit down to essentials through cutting-edge design. Every Trail Bum pack embodies that philosophy, built from advanced composite materials like ALUULA, Spectra fibre and Ultra 200X that offer exceptional strength-to-weight ratios.
Whether you're planning mega thru-hikes, wild camping getaways, or just reconsidering how much you actually need to carry, Trail Bum represents the evolution of what a backpack can be when you stop adding features and instead start asking what you can take away.
