Ridge
New — SS26 Day pack series · 12 L / 18 L

One pack for a day on the trail.

A roll-top day pack with a packing guide that actually packs. Give it eight objects, watch it reason about space, and leave with a plan you can export.

Everything you need from dawn to dusk, and nothing to carry home unused. The packing guide below is the same one we use to check our own loads.

Materials

SPEC 02 — SHELL, LINING, HARDWARE

210D ripstop shell

Grid-stop weave · DWR finish · 3 finishes

The swatches here are the actual material maps used by the 3D views — one repeat of the weave reads at roughly one centimetre on the pack.

Alpine blue weave

Mountain blue · lot 26-B

Ember weave

Burnt orange · lot 26-E

Construction

  • Bar-tacked load seams at every strap anchor — Grit-40 thread
  • Sealed seam construction across the main cavity
  • Pale blue 70D taffeta lining so contents read in low light
  • Hypalon grab tab on the roll-top, graphite hardware
  • Stretch-woven bottle pocket with a reinforced ring bind
  • Ladder-lock shoulder straps with a removable sternum strap
Warranty — 10 years, covers stitching and hardware

How the solver thinks (simplifications)
  • Items are rigid axis-aligned boxes — the exact dimensions shown on each card. Soft goods like the jacket roll are not compressed.
  • Only the 6 axis-aligned orientations are tested (plus the bottle, which is upright-only). No tilting, no diagonal packing.
  • Candidate positions sit on a 0.5 cm grid, scanned lowest → leftmost → deepest. First fit wins, so results are deterministic but not optimal — a smarter order can fit more.
  • Capacity numbers are bounding-box volumes. A round bottle is billed as its full box (7.5 × 24 × 7.5 cm = 1.35 L), which overstates true displacement.
  • Compartment volumes are the usable cavities (12.35 L / 18.15 L), not the nominal 12 / 18 L claim.
  • When a fit fails, the solver checks whether removing one or two packed items would help — that's the suggestion you see.

Inside the pack

SPEC 03 — COMPARTMENTS & CONSTRUCTION
EXPLODED VIEW · LABELS LIVE IN 3D
01 /

Main compartment

19.5 × 32 × 14 CM (12L) · 23 × 37 × 16 CM (18L)
Roll-top cavity in pale blue 70D taffeta. Sealed seams, taped zip track, two internal flat pockets for the field notebook and sunglasses case.

02 /

Front pocket

19 × 16 × 5.5 CM (12L) · 23 × 18 × 6 CM (18L)
Flat stash pocket sewn proud of the main cavity, #5 zip with an orange pull. Sized for a notebook, a snack pouch — not a jacket.

03 /

Bottle pocket

Ø9 × 24 CM (12L) · Ø9 × 24 CM (18L)
Stretch-woven side pocket with a reinforced ring bind and a drain hole. Takes a 7.5 cm bottle upright; nests against the main cavity without stealing its volume.

Construction details

BARTACKS · SEAMS · LINING · HARDWARE
Bar-tacked load seams at all strap anchors, Grit-40 thread throughout. Roll-top closes in three folds under side compression. Graphite ladder-locks, hypalon grab, orange bar-tacks marking every structural seam.
