  • My new favourite!!

    "Zorali is my new favourite outdoor brand. I have been looking for the perfect backpack for ages and I've finally found it. It's the perfect size for a day hike, holds plenty of gear and very comfy to carry (the waist strap is a nice addition)... and, of course, the colours are great!" - Amanda R.

  • Great for adventures and daily use.

    "I use this backpack almost daily for commuting, errands, day hikes, and motorcycling. The tough nylon, and spacious main compartment make it comfortable to carry. It balances clean, stylish aesthetics with rugged durability. It’s perfect for all-weather, everyday use." - Nathaniel

  • Best backpack I have ever had

    "This is such a clever bag design. I love the laptop pocket on the side, super convenient at the airport. I love the waist strap and how you can take it off so you can still easily use the bag every day. I’ve been using the bag for work and have taken it on a challenging track. It’s so spacious too!!! I also love the design. Obsessed!!" - Laura

Escapade Backpack: Our old-school rucksack that gets better with age.

Inspired by the old-school rucksack designs of the 80s, the Escapade Backpack has been refined via more testing and ongoing improvements than any other product in the Zorali line.

A multifunctional all-rounder designed to go anywhere

What started as a redesign of our first backpack (the Pioneer Pack), quickly shifted into something much bolder: we wanted a versatile backpack for escapades anywhere. From a stroll in your hometown to trail days in the mountains. A backpack that holds 30 litres in volume, and has 8 pockets, but can still pack down small. One that makes a great carry-on bag for travel, but can also expand to fit a light tent plus gear and equipment due to its versatile roll-top. The Escapade Backpack was born.

Co-designed in collaboration with our customers

The original concept was a bag that distributes weight across your shoulders. Due to community input, in 2024 we added a removeable waistband for days that require a heavier load. We’ve also put a lot of focus on the shoulder straps, designed with plenty of padding and a chest clip to evenly distribute the load. Annnnd, due to feedback from our photography community, we added side straps, which work for tripods, but also for hiking poles or climbing gear. Though we love to dream up new colourways for this two-tone gem, we also love that we can barely keep up with demand for our existing colours. Keep watching this space: given the love we get for the Escapade, and how many we see out there in the world, we can’t wait to keep refining this much-loved backpack for a long time to come.

    The most versatile backpack out!

    Firstly I LOVE the design of this pack, it’s a major part of the reason I bought it.

    It is super functional. I have used it for Uni, cycling to the shops to get groceries, and now as I’m travelling around Japan! Next I want to try using it for a super minimalist overnight hike just to see how it goes.

    The size is great. It can fit in so much and the side pockets are great from bottles to keep cups to tripods.

    I’ve got the newer version with the detachable hip belt which is a great feature. Much needed when I’ve got a full pack. The side pocket for laptops/tablets is so handy so you don’t have to undo your whole pack. Makes things very accessible. Overall, SO happy with the pack. I wanted the full black pack but it wasn’t in stock so decided to go with the green/navy combo, and I’m actually so happy I ended up with this colour.

    Well done on such a good pack! I know why this one always sells out now. Hoping it will last forever.

    Love

    Recently traveled through Canada with this backpack, and it was absolutely perfect! Whether I was exploring cities, hiking in the Rockies, or using it as a carry-on for flights, it delivered. It’s super comfortable to wear, fits SO much, and has plenty of space on the outside for attachments. The chest and waist straps made longer hikes a breeze, and its weather-resistant design held up well in snow and rain. While the top and front pockets got a little damp, the main compartment stayed bone dry, keeping my essentials safe. If you’re looking for a versatile, reliable backpack for any adventure, this one’s a winner!

    Great companion for adventures and daily use.

    Six months on and this is easily my favourite backpack I've ever owned. I carry it almost every day for commuting, errands, dayhikes and motorcycling. Tough high-denier nylon construction, beefy and substantial hardware, really nice fit. Tons of space in the main compartment, stays comfortable fully-loaded all day on the trail. Access pockets on the front and top flap are pretty spacious and very useful. Really clean aesthetics. Stylish enough for the city, bulletproof enough for the bush. I really like how durable the water bottle side pockets are, mesh often just wears out too quickly. Throw a 30L pack cover into the top compartment and you're set for the weather. Fulfills all of my day-to-day carry needs perfectly. Cheers for the great design Zorali!

    Outstanding! Both backpack & 5 star customer support.

    Excellent backpack, quality materials, excellent laptop protection in the cushioned rear laptop pocket, separate from the main storage area. Robust and sturdy. Also it's exactly the right size for me! Depending on how much stuff you put in it, or hang on to it, I've still been able to carry on mine on (moderately to well packed) at least a dozen (more like pushing two dozen now...) flights without a problem, flying on European, Asian and Middle Eastern Airlines. I even had it as carry on for an Air Koryo flight - flying Pyong Yang to Beijing!! Top notch travel gear. Top notch people to reach out to if you have any concerns! (ask for Jay 👍) Best travel purchase I have made in decades.
