Pick Your Rover Pack
Whether you’re looking for a sturdy hiking backpack to carry your gear or a casual backpack for daily essentials, there are countless options out there. If the many styles, sizes, materials, pockets, and features are starting to feel like a blur, leave it to us to provide some clarity.
Our backpacks suit different purposes, so you can easily find the perfect pack for any occasion. This guide will help you sort through the details to determine which bags should be your top picks.
Rover Pack Classic
The pack that started it all, our Rover Pack Classic has timeless style and rugged durability for everyday use and half-day hikes. This 20L day and hiking backpack features a spacious main compartment, adjustable side water bottle pockets, and large zippered pockets to hold necessities and nice-to-haves, including extra clothes, snacks, books, and hiking gear.
While roomy, its slim shape and convenient size make it great for daily commutes. There’s even an inner padded sleeve that fits laptops up to 15 inches. No more worries about bulky backpacks taking up space—whether you’re riding your bike to work, taking the bus, or squeezing in a gym workout at the end of the day.
Rover Trail Pack 22L
The Rover Trail Pack 22L, made from 100% recycled nylon for superior abrasion resistance, is designed to keep up with your outdoor adventures. Contoured straps, load lifters, and a hideaway waist strap offer extra comfort and prevent your gear from weighing you down.
The molded back panel provides structure, while the sleek design and roomy interior allow you to bring clothes, food, a first-aid kit, gear, and other hiking essentials without the pack becoming too bulky.
We designed this outdoor backpack with oversized water bottle pockets and an inner hydration pocket featuring port and tube access, allowing you to rehydrate quickly while on the go.
At 22 liters, this bag is the perfect size for extended day hikes and overnight trips1. Have to work on the road? The external laptop sleeve allows you to carry documents with you.
Rover Pack Mini
For something more lightweight, our versatile 10L Rover Pack Mini is an excellent go-to bag for running errands, taking day trips, and attending weekend festivals. This day backpack has the functionality, durability, and spacious design of the Rover Pack Classic scaled down to a bag that takes you anywhere.
Fit your tablet in the padded internal sleeve, and use the numerous pockets and zipper compartments to keep your wallet, keys, chargers, snacks, a light jacket, and other necessities organized.
Rover Pack Micro
The 0.5L Rover Pack Micro is the compact version of our Rover Pack Classic. It’s a convenient, pint-sized accessory bag for carrying small items (such as your phone, earbuds, wallet, and keys) in the zippered main compartment and front stash pocket.
Clip this mini pack to your belt loop, backpack, purse, tote bag, or anywhere you need a little extra storage space.
Rover Pack Tech
If you’re looking for a day backpack to keep your electronics safe, the 24.3L Rover Pack Tech gets the job done. Made from 100% recycled nylon for enhanced durability, this pack will protect your tech. It features a fully padded main compartment and base for shock absorption, a RidgeBack™ back panel for even weight distribution, and coated #10 YKK zippers for weather resistance.
This pack also includes both internal and external laptop sleeves (so you don’t have to choose which computer to bring along) and interior compartments that accommodate notebooks, pencil cases, charging cables, and other office essentials.
Apex Rover Pack
Our limited-edition Apex Rover Pack will keep your belongings safe in damp conditions—from rainy weather to whitewater rafting—thanks to the water-resistant coated fabric and YKK heavy-duty zippers.
This outdoor backpack is built to last, so you’ll no longer have to worry about getting caught in light rain or torrential showers with vulnerable cargo, such as a laptop, camping supplies, and food.
