Overview
The Ridge is very simple, durable and lightweight rucksack with a Single-Tube storage compartment and a fully adjustable back system. The Single-Tube storage means it has no front or base entry zip points, which encourages students to load the rucksack properly. The rucksack is only available in one-size-fits-all ‘Slimjim‘ sizing – the hip belt system contracts to just 21 inches to cater for everyone from adults to the smallest students.

Endurance rucksacks are built with students and expedition leaders in mind. The focus is on simplicity – simple for the students to use, and simple for you back at the kit-store.
KEY ENDURANCE FEATURE
Slimjim sizing
An ill-fitting rucksack can not only take the joy out of an expedition for the student, it can also be damaging to their health. With some DofE students starting as early as Year 9, it is possible to get some very small participants requiring a good rucksack. Endurance rucksacks are the only rucksacks in the market that are designed with smaller children in mind – the waist belt on the Ridge can contract to just 21 inches. We call this Slimjim size. It is a one-size-fits-all sizing, offering maximum flexibility for your group.
“These are very adjustable which is ideal for younger and smaller DofE participants. We’ve tried them and the reports are that they’re very comfortable. The padding is excellent, and the capacity is ideal for Bronze and Silver. At this price, they’re an excellent product. I’d recommend them without reservation.“
