The Hiker Sacoche Turtle is a Trail Bum original, created using the experience and knowledge of thru-hikers. Whilst sacoches have become popular with hikers and trekkers, this design predates the trend – originally inspired by cotton shoulder bags used for carrying food during bicycle races, now refined into a lightweight hiking essential. Trail Bum's version features a drawstring stuff-sack style design with an expandable section, crafted from 50D ripstop polyester that's light yet durable. The shoulder strap is adjustable, whilst the exterior mesh pocket keeps trail snacks and frequently accessed items where you can grab them without stopping. It's sized for the essentials you're reaching for constantly: phone, wallet, snacks, map, sunscreen. Here's the clever bit: flip it inside out and it becomes a stuff sack, making it useful for small items when travelling or as a secondary bag when you're out and about. It's the kind of simple, versatile piece that earns its place regardless of whether you're hiking the Pennine Way or just popping to the shops.
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.
