Helikon-Tex Bergen Backpack 18L (Coyote) Cordura Pack

Helikon-Tex Bergen backpack 18L is a compact, durable daypack built for short hikes, quick camping overnights, and city to trail carry in Singapore’s humid weather. Designed as a smaller sibling to the Matilda concept, the Bergen focuses on the essentials: a streamlined 18 L main compartment, smart external storage, and tough materials that handle sweat, rain, and rough handling.

Why it works well for short hiking trips in humid climates

• Hard wearing Cordura® 500D: Abrasion resistant fabric helps the pack hold up against brush, rocks, and daily friction, while being practical for frequent use in tropical conditions.
• Stiffened back panel: Adds structure so the pack carries more comfortably, even when you load it with water and heavier essentials.
• Hydration compatible: Supports a hydration bladder setup so you can sip on the move, which is especially useful in high heat and humidity.
• External pockets for quick access: Keep water bottles, snacks, and rain gear within reach to reduce the need to dig through the main compartment.

• Capacity: 18 L main chamber for a short journey loadout
