Description Condition: New: A brand-new, unused, unopened, undamaged item in its original packaging (where packaging is applicable).

WBA is One Planet's answer to a lightweight, full-sized pack, and it lives up to its moniker: it weighs bugger all. The WBA's 200 gsm, lightweight canvas is heavier than faddy, ultralight nylon fabrics, but also much tougher, providing greater resistance to UV rays, the weather, and general wear and tear. Bushwalking in Antipodes often requires carrying water, adding kilograms to your load. So we've given the WBA the Exact Fit harness, as comfort is too important to compromise. A compatible daypack can also be attached. There is also a bottle pocket behind each wing of the hipbelt. Canvas-bound seams keep the water out, while the optional daypack can be easily attached to the front or back of the rucksack - an ingenious addition, and very handy for side trips. The Exact Fit harness is designed for loads of up to 25 kilograms, making the WBA well-suited to extended trips. (Eight harness fits are available, and the pack comes in three capacities: 55, 60 and 65 litres.) There are lighter pack fabrics out there. However, our 200 gsm canvas ticks all the boxes for Australian and New Zealand bushwalking: high UV and water resistance, as well as reasonable scrub resistance.

Harness Sizing This is murky territory, full of confusion and jargon, with every brand, outdoor shop and expert using different terminology. To keep it simple, here's a guide to One Planet references. Back length: the length of your back needs to be matched by a pack with a suitable frame length. We refer to our frames as short, medium and long.
Harness fits: the One Planet Exact Fit harness has eight harness fits (four male, four female), while the Midi harness has three (one is a women's fit). The hipbelts and shoulder straps of each are designed to match different body shapes and sizes.
Shoulder strap adjustment: adjusts the distance allowed for between the shoulders and the hips, within the confines of the frame's length. Frames
One Planet packs with the Exact Fit and Midi harness systems are available with three frame lengths: short, medium and long. As a general rule, most women have a short or medium back length, while most men have a medium or long back length. To measure your back length, record the vertical distance from a point level with the crest of your shoulders to your iliac crest (the top of the hip bone). It can be difficult to measure your back length accurately. To obtain a perfect fit, it is best to have a One Planet pack fitted by a One Planet dealer. Or give us a call and we can help you out.
