Basin 18 Backpack
Daypack · Hike / Trail / Summit

The Basin 18 is a light-yet-rugged daypack with trail-ready features such as easy-access water bottle stashes, a breathable back panel, and an integrated rain cover — so you can go into any outdoor challenge in comfort and with confidence. Designed for fast-and-light trail days, day hikes, and summit missions, the minimalist build keeps weight down without giving up the storage and features you need for a real day outside.

NextVent™ back panel + shoulder straps
NextVent™ back panel and shoulder straps offer padding and breathability for a comfortable yet minimalist carry — keeps your back cool on the climb and ventilated on the descent
Concealed integrated rain cover
Concealed rain cover deploys easily and attaches to specific points for a precise fit — pack protection when the weather turns, no aftermarket purchase required
Two quick-access water bottle pockets
Two quick-access water bottle pockets on the sides — no need to stop and dig through the main compartment to hydrate on the move
Trekking-pole attachment
Minimalist, two-point trekking-pole attachment secures poles when not in use — drop them on the descent without taking the pack off
Large zippered main compartment
Large, zippered main compartment holds what you need for the trail — extra layers, food, water, first-aid kit, and a rain shell
External stash pocket
External stash pocket holds bulky or quick-access items — a damp shell, a map, gloves, or a beanie
Internal hydration sleeve
Internal hydration sleeve holds a reservoir (sold separately) for hands-free hydration on long trail days
Sternum strap with whistle buckle
Sternum strap with a whistle buckle adds stability under load and includes a built-in safety whistle for trail emergencies
Lightweight + rugged build
Lightweight 210D recycled nylon ripstop body helps keep pack weight down while the rugged 600D recycled polyester boot provides durability where you need it most
Top grab handle

Sustainability

Recycled Content
Body 210D recycled nylon ripstop · Boot 600D recycled polyester
DWR Treatment
Non-PFC durable water-repellent finish (no perfluorinated chemicals)
Cleaning
Spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap if needed. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents which can damage the non-PFC DWR finish and degrade the NextVent™ back panel padding.
Drying
Air dry at room temperature away from direct heat or sunlight. Do not tumble dry — high heat can delaminate the non-PFC DWR finish and warp the frame.
Rain Cover Care
The integrated rain cover should be dried before repacking to prevent mildew. Wipe with a damp cloth and hang to dry after wet use, then re-stow in the concealed compartment.
DWR Refresh
Non-PFC DWR wears off with heavy use. Re-treat the body and boot periodically with a spray-on DWR designed for technical backpacks to maintain surface water beading and breathability.
Hardware Check
Inspect the zippers, sternum strap whistle buckle, trekking-pole attachment loops, and water-bottle-pocket elastic before each trip. Clear debris from zippers and re-thread the sternum strap if it has shifted inside the channel.
NextVent™ Care
The NextVent™ back panel and shoulder strap padding are breathable by design. Avoid compressing the pack in tight storage for long periods which can crush the padding channels and reduce breathability over time.
Storage
Store loosely or hanging in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Long-term compression in stuff sacks can crush the back-panel padding and reduce the pack's trail performance.
