Backpacks NZ — Hiking, Travel and Outdoor Bags Whether you need a 20L daypack for a day walk, a 50L tramping pack for a NZ Great Walk, or a durable travel pack for international adventures, Dwights stocks New Zealand's most complete range of outdoor backpacks. We carry packs from Deuter, Rab, Lowe Alpine and more — all selected for quality, fit, and performance in NZ conditions. Choosing the Right Pack The right backpack depends on what you're carrying and for how long. For day walks, a 20–30L daypack is ideal. For overnight trips or Great Walks, look at 45–65L. For serious multi-day tramping with a heavy load, a 65L+ pack with a proper back system makes a genuine difference to how you feel on day three. Deuter's Aircontact and Aircomfort back systems are our lead recommendation for load-carrying comfort — they're consistently rated as some of the best pack systems available. The Deuter Aircontact Core 50+10 is our go-to recommendation for NZ Great Walks.
