Description
The Prospector (previously known as The Mo)
It took us 12,000 miles of hiking to design our perfect backpack: The Prospector (formerly known as The Mo) - a lightweight, fully featured load hauler, purpose built to support you on your next adventure.
We designed The Prospector to suit the average thru hiker using modern, lightweight gear, with a base weight of up to 10kg/22lbs. We use lightweight, durable materials that are easily able to cope with heavier loads and heavier use. If you are heading out onto rough and overgrown trails like the Continental Divide or Te Araroa then The Prospector is for you!
With a load capacity of 19kg/42lbs and pack weights starting at just 910g/32oz for a size Medium, The Prospector won't weigh you down.

Roll top closure
The closure has a 15mm vertical side compression. The roll top can also be clipped together at the top (dry bag style) and the side compression clipped around the front of the bag to aid carrying snowshoes or maybe a huge packs of chips etc.
Z side elastics
Great for securing trekking poles, tent poles or drying your socks.
Dual shoulder pockets
Super stretchy and big enough to hold most smartphones, a day’s worth of snacks or a 700ml water bottle. The elastic is fixed and, owing to its clever design, does not need a tensioner.
Hydration tube port
There is an access port behind each shoulder strap, allowing access inside the bag where there is a hanging clip for your bladder.

Easy-access bottom pocket with trash port made with Dyneema stretch fabric.
Large front pocket
Made with Dyneema stretch fabric. Can hold 5L, not included in the total volume.

Customer Reviews
First decent quality bag I’ve bought, I wanted something like Hyperlite that was made in the England. This bag did not disappoint, loads of features and its well designed. Every part of the bag can be utilised, there is no dead space. The pack is very comfortable despite what is said about ultralight bags. The backplate is adjustable and contours to your spine allowing the weight to be carried close to your body. The pockets on the front and bottom of the bag are great.
The only downsides to the bag is that it’s not fully waterproof. I think it should have sealed seems or come with a pack liner. The colour is more of a light khaki rather than the deeper olive colour on the photos. I would 100% recommend this pack to anyone. I use it for overnight wild camps and it’s perfect.
So glad I bought this, its so comfy and looks great!
