Level Six Algonquin 55L Top Loading Backpack

Named after one of Ontario's most iconic paddling destinations, the Algonquin 55L is a pack built with Canadian tripping routes in mind.

At 55 litres, this top-loading backpack sits in a versatile middle ground between a day pack and a full expedition hauler, making it well suited for solo canoe trippers, portage-heavy routes, and multi-day hiking trips where pack weight and fit matter as much as capacity. The pre-curved shoulder and waist harness with padded hip belt and sternum strap transfers load efficiently and reduces fatigue on longer carries, which is exactly what you want when you're moving through a chain of lakes with gear in tow.

The 840D nylon construction is tough enough for the abrasion and moisture that comes with regular backcountry use, and ballistic nylon straps add durability at the highest stress points. Double bar-tacked reinforcements at load-bearing areas give you confidence that the pack holds up season after season of hard trips. The spindrift collar with compression strap lets you adjust the top load and cinch down the pack for a more controlled carry when it's not filled to capacity.

A solid, practical pack for the kind of paddling and portaging that defines tripping in the Canadian wilderness.
