Naturehike Helium 20L Hiking Backpack
Ultralight Performance Meets All-Weather Durability
A heavy, waterlogged rucksack can quickly turn a scenic trek through the Peak District into a grueling slog. The Naturehike Helium 20L Hiking Backpack eliminates this trail fatigue by providing a high-capacity storage solution that weighs almost nothing. Built for hikers who demand agility, this bag uses advanced wear-resistant fabrics to handle the scrapes of rocky climbs while keeping your gear dry during unpredictable UK showers.
This isn’t just another daypack; it is an engineered piece of kit designed to move with your body. The ergonomic shoulder straps distribute weight evenly, which prevents the “pull-back” feeling common in budget bags. Whether you are bagging Munros in Scotland or navigating a rainy commute, the Helium 20L offers the perfect balance of technical performance and everyday utility.
Why the Helium 20L Is a Trail Essential
Weather-Shield Waterproofing: The high-density nylon fabric sheds rain instantly, ensuring your spare layers and electronics stay protected when the mist rolls in.
Weightless Agility: By stripping away unnecessary bulk, Naturehike created a bag that feels like a second skin, allowing you to cover more ground with less energy.
Tactical Gear Organization: Multiple quick-access pockets allow you to grab your water bottle, map, or snacks without breaking your momentum.
Ripstop Durability: The specialized weave prevents small snags from turning into large tears, making it ideal for scrambling and dense woodland trails.
Breathable Back Panel: Airflow-optimized mesh reduces sweat buildup on your back, keeping you comfortable during intense, steep ascents.

FAQ
Q1. Is this backpack 100% submersible?
While the fabric and zippers are highly water-resistant and will easily handle heavy rain, we do not recommend fully submerging the bag in water.

Yes. The 20L main compartment can comfortably house a 13-inch or 14-inch laptop, making it a great hybrid bag for work and outdoor activities.
Q3. Does it have a chest strap?
Yes. It includes an adjustable sternum strap to keep the bag stable while you are moving quickly or traversing uneven ground.
