Gilling Backpack 20L – Ultralight Hiking Daypack Built for Fast Mountain Days
Meet the Klättermusen Gilling Backpack 20L — an ultra-light technical hiking backpack designed for fast-moving adventures, minimalist trekking and demanding single-day hikes. With its featherweight construction, breathable carry system and intelligent trail organization, the Gilling 20L delivers exactly what modern hikers want: freedom of movement, stability and smart gear access without unnecessary bulk.
Weighing only 497 g, this compact yet capable 20-liter daypack almost disappears on your back while still carrying everything you need for a full day in the mountains. Its ventilated harness, S-shaped shoulder straps and flexible structure allow your body to move naturally whether you're climbing steep switchbacks, scrambling rocky ridges or covering long alpine trails.
Who is it for?
Fast hikers, minimalist trekkers, alpine explorers and anyone who prefers lightweight technical gear over bulky packs. If your ideal day involves covering distance efficiently on mountain trails with just the essentials, the Gilling Backpack 20L is built to keep your load stable while letting your body move freely.
What Makes It Stand Out
- Ultra-light mountain design: At only 497 g, the Gilling 20L is built for hikers who want maximum freedom of movement and minimal weight on long trails.
- Ventilated carry system: Ridge foam and breathable mesh enhance airflow across your back, helping regulate temperature during steep climbs or warm hiking days.
- Smart trail organization: Top-loaded zip opening with internal lid pocket, expandable front pocket for wet gear and multiple stretch pockets for quick-access essentials.
- Built for technical terrain: Trekking pole attachment, compression cords and customizable loop webbing keep your gear stable even on uneven mountain trails.
- Sustainable technical fabric: Made with Retina® Ultra Econyl® recycled polyamide, bluesign® approved and PFAS-free for reduced environmental impact.
The result is a technical daypack that feels almost weightless while still offering the durability, stability and organization needed for serious outdoor use. Whether you're tackling steep alpine routes, moving quickly across ridgelines or heading out for a full-day hike, the Gilling keeps your essentials accessible and your movement unrestricted.
Why You’re Going to Love It
The Gilling was designed with one clear philosophy: carry only what matters and move efficiently through the mountains. Everything about this pack — from the lightweight structure to the breathable harness — supports that idea.
- Moves naturally with your body thanks to ergonomic S-shaped shoulder straps and flexible construction.
- Keeps gear accessible on the trail with expandable front storage and stretch side pockets.
- Maintains comfort even on long climbs with a ventilated mesh and ridge foam back system.
- Stabilizes the load with compression cords and wide hip-belt attachment points.
- Supports sustainable gear choices with recycled materials and PFAS-free construction.
If you’re searching for a lightweight hiking backpack that prioritizes mobility, breathability and smart trail organization, the Klättermusen Gilling 20L delivers a minimalist design with serious mountain capability.
