Matilda Backpack

Description

Matilda is a bushcraft backpack prepared for multi-day trips into the field.

Construction resistant to intensive use

It withstands frequent packing, gear transport, and contact with the ground. We made the product from Cordura® 500D, which increases resistance to abrasion and damage. The material is coated with DWR, which limits absorption and makes cleaning easier. We also used YKK® zippers and Woojin components, which work reliably even under heavy loads and in changing temperatures. 

A comfortable carrying system stabilizes the load

We equipped the backpack with adjustable, contoured, and quick-release shoulder straps that you can comfortably fit to your body shape. The hip belt transfers part of the weight to the hips, and the chest strap stabilizes the backpack while walking. The back panel, made of foam covered with spacer mesh, improves ventilation and increases comfort during longer carrying.

The backpack's interior allows flexible gear organization.

Spacious main compartment

It will fit the gear needed for a multi-day field trip.

Mesh pocket under the flap

The zippered pocket allows you to store small pieces of equipment.

internal MOLLE/PALS webbing

They allow you to organize the inside of the backpack by attaching additional pockets, organizers, or a first aid kit.

Space for a hydration bladder

A dedicated pocket allows you to use a hydration system while walking.

Pockets and straps make it easier to carry bushcraft gear.

Three large external pockets

Fastened with buckles and equipped with drawcords and pass-through slots, they allow you to carry tools such as an axe.

Pocket on the backpack flap

The zippered pocket works well for storing small pieces of equipment.

external MOLLE/PALS webbing

They allow the backpack to be expanded with additional pockets, modules, or a first aid kit. 

Straps for attaching gear

They allow you to attach a sleeping bag, sleeping mat, or additional equipment.

The design of the Matilda backpack is inspired by the ALICE (All-Purpose Lightweight Individual Carrying Equipment) system, introduced by the US Army in the 1970s.

Matilda inherited the characteristic pocket layout and modularity of this system, but it has been made lighter and adapted for bushcraft and civilian use. The result is a backpack that combines classic solutions with the functionality needed for modern field trips.

The backpack features a hook-and-loop panel for personalization.
