The Lukla 38 is a backpack designed for weekend mountain adventures. It boasts the perfect size and shape for short trips and training sessions. Ideal for a hike in the Carpathian Mountains for two – accommodating a lightweight tent, two sleeping bags, a kitchen setup, and warm clothing. Alternatively, it’s suitable for assembling gear for training purposes – ropes, a harness system, equipment, crampons, and tools. Or even for trekking to Everest Base Camp with your sleeping bag and lightweight insulation.
