Raidlight Raid Legend (24L)

This backpack feels sturdy and well-distributed on your back. The shoulder straps and back panel are soft and breathable, ensuring you remain comfortable walking even with a full bag. Thanks to the many compartments, you know exactly where everything is, from your jacket to your gels and map.

It comes into its own best on trips where you need to carry a lot. Think of a multi-day fast-packing trip in the Alps, a hut-to-hut trek with a sleeping bag, or a mountain ultra with a long list of mandatory equipment. After hours of walking, you notice the difference: you grab food and drink from the front pockets without stopping, and the load stays comfortably on your back. With attachments for trekking poles, a sleeping mat, or an extra front pocket, you can expand the backpack to suit whatever your trip requires.

If in doubt, consider how much you actually take with you. For regular trail runs or day trips with light gear, this backpack is too large, and a half-empty bag moves around more than a tight trail vest. The main compartment is water-repellent, but during prolonged rain, you will want to provide extra protection for your gear with a dry bag. If you often head out for multiple days or run ultras with a lot of gear, this is a strong choice.

In short: the backpack for long adventures where you carry everything yourself.
