Highlander Novar 50+5L Rucksack
Couldn't load pickup availability
The Novar 50+5L is the more compact of Highlander's two Novar expedition rucksacks, giving a lighter, trimmer carry than the Novar 60+5L while keeping the same feature set. It is built around the Tri Active Adjust back system, which slides through a 42cm to 52cm range so a single pack fits a wide spread of back lengths rather than committing you to a fixed size. A drawcord main compartment, generous external storage and an integrated raincover make it a strong choice for the Duke of Edinburgh Award and multi-day expeditions where you want capacity without unnecessary bulk. Available in Navy Blue and Dark Grey.
