Highlander Eagle 3 Rucksack 40L

The Highlander Eagle 3 is the largest pack in the Eagle range, stepping up to 40L for multi-day use where the Eagle 2's 30L becomes limiting. Built from the same 600D XTP fabric with PU coating, it carries forward the full clamshell opening, MOLLE webbing, rapid exterior zip and hydration compatibility of the Eagle 2, and adds a separate bottom zip compartment for more structured packing over longer trips. Available in Black, Ranger Green, Grey and HMTC Camo.

The bottom zip compartment is what sets the Eagle 3 apart from the rest of the range. It opens as a distinct lower section but also connects through to the main compartment, giving the option to keep sleeping kit, bulky layers or infrequently accessed gear separated from the top of the pack without losing the ability to reach it from inside. Combined with the full clamshell and the rapid exterior front zip, the Eagle 3 offers four distinct access points to suit different situations and levels of urgency.

The padded hip belt with zippered admin pockets shifts load off the shoulders for extended carry, and a low-profile front pocket, top stash pocket and inner lid zipped mesh pocket provide layered organisation for maps, admin kit and flat items. MOLLE webbing on the front and sides allows modular expansion without adding permanent bulk, and the detachable internal organiser can be removed or repositioned to suit the contents. Glove-friendly zipper pulls, an airmesh padded back panel and a hook and loop ID panel complete the specification. Also available in the Eagle range: the Eagle 1 Rucksack 20L and the Eagle 2 Rucksack 30L.
