That is why all TATONKA hiking rucksacks have the X Vent Zero carrying system. With this system,

two X-shaped fibreglass rods in combination with adjustable straps keep the rucksack off the

back. They provide maximum ventilation with minimal contact with the back. The system can

be set continuously, and therefore adjusted just as required. The more strongly rounded shoulder

straps on the ladies’ version offer greater comfort for their wearers.

Hikers who want a sturdy backpack made of a strong, proven material will find the solutions

in Zyco, Storm and Yalka. And our lightweights Vento, Skill, Auree and Livaz are perfect

for hikers who like to travel fast and extreme. They are made of ultra light T-Rip Light which,

thanks to its PU/silicone coating, is even more tear-resistant than heavier materials. Something

else that’s good to know: all TATONKA hiking rucksacks have their own rain cover.

YOU DON’T KNOW IS THERE.The best rucksack is the one

Pure wanderlust! Yalka 24, the robust frontloader is extremely well ventilated.
