Tatonka 75+L Bison Trekking Hiking Rucksack Pack
[tat1427.074]

$379.50AUD
(inc GST)

 

The specialist for heavy loads over 20 kg. There's a reason why TATONKA is named after the 'Bison'. And it also explains why we invest our whole know-how and lifeblood to be able to present you with the king of all trekking rucksacks. The Bison is especially designed for long trekking tours with lots of luggage and is divided into three sections with the lid, main and base compartments.

With the wide front opening with concealed zip fastener, it can be comfortably packed from the front. The adjustable X1 carrying system excellently fits onto the back with soft, ergonomically shaped shoulder straps and comfortable back padding and it also ideally distributes the weight, thereby making it possible to carry even the heaviest loads. Its features include a height-adjustable lid and three contact points for the precise adjustment of the load control strap, an ice pick holder, an extra compartment for a first aid kit and of course also a rain cover, which protects the contents from dampness, dirt and dust.

So you can see that the Bison really does have everything you could possible need on a trekking tour, minus the extra weight.

What makes it so special? Well, for a start, the fact that it can be packed from above and from the front thanks to the wide front opening, which has a covered zip.

And then there's the fact that the revamped X1-System is now even more comfortable. With new shoulder straps and technically padded back, the rucksack now sits even better against the back - an advantage that is not to be sniffed at when you still have a few miles to go. In other words: the Bison has everything you could possibly need on a trekking tour - apart from even a single gram of extra weight. Tatonka have given the Bison a capacity of 75 Litres, but in reality it's bigger than most so called 90L Rucksack's on the market the 75L tag defies its true size. German packs are notorious for being much larger than their specs suggest.

Features a redesigned X1 carrying system for heavy loads; Back padding in various levels of hardness; Comfortable shoulder straps; Lid compartment with key holder; Height adjustable lid with option to attach material; Three contact points for the load control strap; Large zip-up front opening; Detachable bottom compartment; Front pocket with heat sealed zips; Side pockets, one with zip and expansion pleat; Comfortable hip belt adjustment; Handles front and back; Adjustable and detachable ice-axe holder; Roll-up side compression; Base in sturdy Nylon Texamid 11.1, waterproof zips and materials, First aid compartment and Rain cover.

The Bison is a multiple award winner including the prestigious Editors Choice Award!

Technical information:

X1 harness system:

The X1 system has been specially developed for heavy loads. It works by a system that is as simple as it is ingenious: Two ergonomically arched, crossed aluminium bars in frame channels transmit a part of the carrying load laterally to the specially padded hip strap, distributing the load from the back to the hips. The anatomically positioned, ultra-comfortable hip strap consists of an ergonomically shaped, multi-layered hip fin with a conical 3D reinforcement sheet in PE. A rubberised lumbar pad in the middle of the hip strap prevents the rucksack from slipping. The re-designed back padding above that is ultra-conical in shape, sewn in chambers, and its generous technical padding lies perfectly against the back. Lateral stability at the top contact point of the aluminium bars is provided by a fibreglass reinforced bar. Soft, ergonomically shaped shoulder straps with height adjustment enhance the level of comfort

MATERIALS:

Texamid 11.1

1000 DEN textured nylon warp-and-weft weave results in an extremely rip and abrasion resistant material. A durable PU coating ensures a high degree of water resistance, and a special process makes this material pleasant to the touch. Texamid 11.1 is now being used in the bottom sections of backpacks, bags and for reinforcement points.

 

A bit about Tatonka's philosophy and mission...

To us, outdoors is not an opportunity to make a fast buck. It's an attitude to life. It is no coincidence that the translation of Tatonka is “bison”: an animal that still represents strength and freedom today, but also a peaceful life that is lived in harmony with nature. We also feel totally committed to nature, and would like to transmit our enthusiasm for outdoors sports and activities to you through our products. Which is why we make sure that everything that carries the Bison logo meets our ideal of the “best possible equipment for Expedition Life”. And that 100 percent.

Anyone who has anything to do with our products will soon see that every single item reveals our passion for detail. Whether a trekking rucksack, tunnel tent or office bag – every construction, every material combination, every feature is carefully planned to the smallest detail and optimised for the particular purpose.

As far as the carrying systems are concerned, they are not only perfect for the various uses, such as for heavy loads or movement-intensive use, but also for the person who will be carrying them. Just as much attention is paid to accommodating the differences in the male and female anatomies as to different heights. And our children’s products are not only lovely and colourful, but above all they are child-appropriate.

And something else that is typical of Tatonka products is their exceptional durability – even under the hardest conditions. We use extremely strong, highly resistant materials for all our products, and we make sure that the manufacture is the very best it can be. In order to meet our own quality requirements, we make all our items ourselves – and then carefully check every single step in the production process.

Quality and functionality are clearly our main considerations. Our products are genuine outdoor articles, not chic accessories. Which is why you won’t find anything short-lived at Tatonka. But timeless designs that you can use all year round. For years.

The possibilities for experiencing the outdoors are incredibly varied. And so is our range: there’s the perfect solution for every use. Whether a rucksack, rain jacket or a tent, several days’ hiking or just one – there’s something in the Tatonka range for absolutely everything. Promise!
