  • Care instructions We recommend that you do not to machine wash, tumble dry, dry clean, bleach or iron your rucksack so that the fabric properties (especially waterproofing) are preserved. Clean by hand using lukewarm soapy water and a brush (if required). After a few years of use, use a “waterproofing” spray to renew the water-repellent properties of the fabric.

TECHNICAL INFORMATION

  • The “Air Cooling” seal of approval. - Rucksacks which feature the “Air Cooling” seal of approval have been laboratory-tested in order to assess the performance of their ventilation system: a heated dummy which can produce artificial sweat provides a scientific and objective measurement of the rucksack’s ability to reduce perspiration. Only the rucksacks that perform significantly better than a “basic” model in the range (which do not feature any particular ventilation system) are awarded this seal of approval.
  • How is the capacity of a rucksack measured? - The capacity of each of our rucksacks is measured as per a standardised method: we fill the main compartment as well as every pocket with small balls. All the balls used are then emptied into a graduated container to give the rucksack’s capacity in litres.
  • How to pack a rucksack - Put sleeping equipment at the bottom. Position heavy items close to the back. Clothes can be placed all around these. You can put a mattress under the lid and a tent can be fixed underneath the rucksack if there is no room left inside. Make sure your wind jacket and fleece jacket are easily accessible. Use the pockets to store the small accessories you will need during the hike. Usually, there is a compartment along the back which is designed to hold a water pouch.
  • How to fit a rucksack - LOOSEN all the straps (shoulder strap, hip belt, tensioners). PUT THE RUCKSACK ON YOUR BACK. For rucksacks with a capacity of 50L or more, PLACE THE HIP BELT CORRECTLY (over the hip bones) and FASTEN IT. For rucksacks with a smaller capacity, the hip belt should be placed around the waist. FASTEN THE SHOULDER STRAPS. Finally, ADJUST THE TENSIONERS to your personal requirements.
  • How to adjust the rucksack’s back length - Position the adjustable back system as indicated as standard then fit the rucksack. With the hip belt over your waist, the shoulder straps should cover the front area of your shoulders, and the tensioners (which are also sometimes adjustable in height) should be at a 45° angle (and not in a vertical or horizontal position). If you feel the back is too short or too long, restart the process until you feel comfortable.
  • The Symbium 3 system. - Symbium 3 combines the advantages of the Symbium system (freedom of movement) and those of the new exclusive 3 adjustable chest pockets system: these provide easy access to many items while walking, and also ensure a better balance of the load by straightening the back by approximately 4°. Stress on the back is therefore reduced, providing extra comfort when carrying the rucksack.
  • Rucksack technical tests. - Before the components of a rucksack are given our stamp of approval, they are submitted to a series of laboratory tests. For example, a fabric will be tested for its resistance to abrasion, tearing, UV rays, repeated washing, watertight properties, etc… A final test on the finished product is carried out in order to reproduce the kind of treatment it is likely to be subjected to over the years. The heavily-weighted rucksack is put on a dummy which imitates the movements of a fast-walking hiker.

    Jack Wolfskin - Denali 70 Rucksack





    The DENALI is a robust, fully-featured and extremely comfortable trekking rucksack.

    The tried and trusted ERGOFORM PRO carry system provides even load distribution over the shoulders and hips and has lavishly padded contact surfaces for enhanced carry comfort. It can be adjusted for perfect fit and comes in different back lengths and with anatomically designed versions specific to men and women. Duraluminium support bars and a wide, well-padded waist belt also help to distribute the load, ensuring excellent freedom of movement even with a full rucksack on demanding terrain.

    Easy-access, multi-compartmentalised design for organised packing in lid, main compartment and base section with removable divider. DENALI also has plenty of pockets and pouches, numerous attachment and compression options and lots of other design features, such as dual access to the main compartment. The DENALI is a rucksack that gives a great handling and a comfortable carry on long treks.



    • Backlength S - L

    • Measurements 1 70 x 34/27 x 22 cm

    • Capacity 70 + 11 Lit.

    • Weight 2750g



    MATERIALS


    ALUMINIUM HONEY COMB

    HONEY COMB means here that the rucksack carry system's aluminum rod is hollow on the inside. This saves a lot of weight, whilst still guaranteeing form stability.


    CHAINTECH 1000D

    A close-weave, durable polyamide fabric with very high tearstrength and abrasion resistance; ideal for use as a rucksack material, or to reinforce the base of the pack. We use both 500 and 1000 denier versions.


    CROSS RIP 300D

    A very light polyamide fabric with a high tearstrength rating. We use it for our Trekking and Hiking rucksacks. The light-weight nylon fabric is inter-woven with ripstop reinforcement threads every few millimetres. If the fabric tears, the rip is stopped by the stronger threads, hence the name: ripstop. This type of construction saves weight and is very robust. We use different strengths (Denier) of CROSS RIP, depending on what a rucksack is used for: - CROSS RIP 300 D: 300 Denier fabric strength, reinforcement threads every 3 mm, used predominantly for Trekking and Hiking rucksacks - CROSS RIP 450 D: 450 Denier fabric strength, reinforcement threads every 4 mm, used predominantly for Trekking rucksacks.


    TECHNOLOGY


    Dual Access To Main Compartment

    On our large capacity rucksacks there are often two methods of accessing the main compartment: conventionally, beneath the lid of the pack or from the front via the external pocket. The latter option provides convenient access items of kit packed lower down in the rucksack.


    Ice Axe Fixation

    Ice tool/trekking pole attachment loops with a wide velcro closure flap which remains highly resistant to icing up. An additional woven loop makes them easy to operate when gloved-up.

    The VELCROLOCK system is not threaded loosely though the daisy chain on the packbag but held securely in place by Velcro.


    Prepared for HYDRATION SYSTEM

    This means the rucksack is compatible with commercial hydration systems. A flat format pouch on the inside the main compartment of the pack accepts a HYDRATION BLADDER.
    The pack also features an opening for the drinks tube and a clip attachment on the shoulder strap to fix the tube in position.


    RAINCOVER Inside

    A special compartment, located at the base of the rucksack.
    It contains a waterproof PU-coated, sealed-seam rain cover in 210 D polyester. This can be pulled over the rucksack when required to provide effective protection from weather and dust without covering the carry system itself.


    Snow Lock

    A detail on our rucksacks. The upper opening of the rucksack is protected by an additional 'snow collar' made from a lightweight, waterproof coated polyamide fabric.
    This prevents water and snow from getting in when the pack is opened. On packs with extend-able lids, the Snow Lock also provides a useful volume expansion option.


    Suspension System ERGOFORM PRO

    The ERGOFORM PRO carry system is lightweight, flexible and provides greater freedom of movement. All its components are anatomically designed. The angle of the waist belt can be adjusted for an individual fit and the shoulder harness anchor point can be easily fixed in the optimum position using the Velcro tabs on the back of the pack.
    The bulk of the load is taken by the lavishly padded waist belt.- the shoulder harness anchor point can be easily fixed in the optimum position using the Velcro tabs on the tape ladder at the back of the pack.- the waist belt transfers weight by lateral pressure on the pelvic bone.- adjustable side straps to fix the pack in the optimum position at the waist.- the lumbar pad is comfortably padded with a covering fabric to prevent friction.- the back pads are covered in a breathable mesh fabric and have ventilation channels, which prevents moisture build up.- anatomically designed S-shape shoulder harness with laminated foam padding.- adjustable straps to adapt the angle between the pack and your back.- adjustable chest strap with safety whistle.


    Trekking Pole Fixation

    A special attachment on the outside of the rucksack, used for the secure lashing of trekking poles. A width-adjustable loop secures the pole basket and the shaft is then flipped over and secured to the pack with a height-adjustable Velcro tape.
