I used to hike with a larger backpack, but it was simply too bulky for my needs. This 60L model turned out to be a perfect fit. I tested it on the trail and I’m genuinely impressed with the value for money. There’s plenty of storage space, the rear mesh pocket is very practical, and the overall finish is excellent. Highly recommended for hiking and backpacking.

Good backpack overall. Large stretch inner pocket and roomy side pockets. There are also a few small attachment loops for extra gear. One small downside for me is the “sand” color combined with the colored straps — it gives the pack a more feminine look than I expected. The backpack is noticeably taller than it is wide, which actually helps with load distribution. I ordered size L and it fits me well. The mesh side pockets are very spacious and include compression straps to slim down the pack when needed. My only concern is that larger bottles (1.5L and above) may not feel as secure. I haven’t fully tested the backpack on a demanding hike yet, but so far it looks very promising.

This hiking backpack is excellent and clearly designed with real trail use in mind. The large waist pockets are extremely practical, the zippers work smoothly, and the aluminum frame system is easy to assemble and remove. Very impressed overall. 🤟🤟🤟

Kenneth J.

Better than I expected. Extremely lightweight and comfortable to carry. Shipping was also very fast — arrived in just 7 days. Very satisfied with this purchase.

Jeremy G.

This hiking backpack is spacious and very well made. The stitching and finish are clean, and the rigid back support is a great feature for comfort. The pockets are roomy, and the shoulder strap phone pouch is very convenient. Overall, it’s an excellent backpack for beginner and intermediate hikers.

Richard S.

It’s lightweight, the material feels high quality, and there’s plenty of storage space. I really love this backpack. The adjustable roll-top design is especially practical because it allows you to expand or reduce the volume depending on your needs. I’m glad I chose the larger size since it offers excellent versatility for travel and hiking.

Nicholas T.

For reference, I’m 1.81 m (5'11") tall and found the size L just slightly too large for my build, so I’ll probably switch to a size M. Aside from that, the backpack quality is excellent. The 60L capacity offers plenty of room, especially thanks to the taller upper compartment design.

It's really lightweight and I love it. I bought it for a trip and I plan to use it for hiking later. It's really great!

Madeline L.

Personally, I found the capacity larger than expected. There’s plenty of room for food, clothing, and hiking essentials, and it also seems easy to attach extra gear externally if needed. For shorter overnight hikes, the pack may even feel larger than necessary, which is great if you prefer extra space and flexibility. For a two-day, one-night hike, I think the pack will probably be too big.

How to Choose Your Backpack

1. Pick Your Capacity
- Weekend (1–3 nights): 30–50 Liters
- Multi-day (3–5 nights): 50–80 Liters
- Extended (5+ nights): 70+ Liters
2. Prioritize Features

Focus on your specific needs for frame type, ventilation, and storage accessibility
3. Get the Perfect Fit
Sizing depends on torso length (not height) and hip circumference:
- Torso: Measure from your C7 vertebra (the bony bump at the base of your neck) down to the top of your hip bones (iliac crest).
- Hips: Measure around the top of your hips, where the pack's hip belt will sit.
Refer to the Sizing Chart above to match your measurements with our M or L variants.

FAQ

HOW DO I KNOW IF I SHOULD CHOOSE SIZE M OR SIZE L?

The main difference is your torso length. If you are under 5'11" (180 cm) with a standard build, Size M (Standard Fit) is usually perfect. If you are taller than 5'11" or have a particularly long back, Size L (Tall Fit) provides a longer frame and wider shoulder harness for better weight distribution.

IS THE TASKMASTER 60 TRULY WATERPROOF?

The main body is crafted from waterproof Polyamide and UHMWPE fabric, which easily handles light rain and splashes. For heavy downpours or river crossings, we include a Rain Cover to ensure your gear stays 100% dry.

WHAT IS THE MAXIMUM LOAD I CAN COMFORTABLY CARRY?

The bag is very tough. For the best ergonomic experience, we recommend a load between 26–33 lbs (12–15 kg). The 6-series aluminum frame is specifically engineered to transfer this weight efficiently to your hips.

CAN THIS BACKPACK BE USED AS A CARRY-ON FOR FLIGHTS?

At full 60L capacity, it exceeds standard carry-on dimensions. However, because it is an ultralight, flexible design, you can easily compress it.

CAN I CHECK THE TASKMASTER 60 AS HOLD LUGGAGE?

We recommend taking these precautions for a worry-free flight:
Protect the Straps: The main risk in checked luggage isn't the fabric's strength, but the many straps and buckles getting caught in airport conveyor belts. We strongly recommend using another larger bag or a "pack cover" that fully encloses the backpack.
Security: Since trekking packs don't have lockable zippers like hard-shell suitcases, a protective outer bag allows you to use a TSA-approved lock to secure your gear.
Internal Frame: The 6-series aluminum frame is robust, but always ensure the pack is relatively full or padded with clothing to maintain its shape during handling.

HOW DOES THE 30-DAY FREE TRIAL WORK?

Our 30-Day Trial period lets you test and fit of the Taskmaster 60 pack in the comfort of your own home.
How it works: You can fill the pack with your usual gear (up to 15 kg), adjust the straps, and move around your home to test the weight distribution and frame comfort.
Conditions: To receive a full refund or exchange, the pack must be returned in new condition. This means:

  • Original tags and packaging must be intact.
  • No external signs of use (dirt, stains, odors, or pet hair).
  • The rain cover must be new and folded in its original packaging.
  • Return policy: If the pack isn't right for you, simply contact us within 30 days.

Please note that for returns of used items or items with missing packaging, a fee may apply and be deducted from your refund, or the return may be refused.

IS THERE A WARRANTY?

At New Valberg, your gear is built to last. We provide a 2-Year Warranty on all our backpacks, covering manufacturing defects and material failures to ensure you can explore with confidence.

What is Covered (Manufacturing Defects):

  • Structural Integrity: Any snapping, cracking, or abnormal deformation of the internal aluminum frame or support stays under normal use.
  • Seams & Stitching: Failure of load-bearing seams, including shoulder strap attachments and hip belt connections.
  • Hardware & Components: Malfunction of zippers, buckles, and tensioners that occur due to production flaws.
  • Material Integrity: Delamination of waterproof coatings or premature failure of the fabric weave not caused by external abrasion.


What is Not Covered:

  • Natural Wear and Tear: Gradual fading of colors, minor abrasions from trail use, or the natural thinning of mesh padding over time.
  • Accidental Damage: Tears, punctures, or burns caused by sharp rocks, thorns, campfires, or animal encounters.
  • Overloading: Damage resulting from exceeding the recommended carrying capacity (e.g., carrying more than 15kg/33lbs consistently).
  • Improper Maintenance: Damage caused by machine washing, harsh detergents, or improper storage (e.g., storing while damp, leading to mold).
  • Modifications: Any alterations made to the pack’s structure, straps, or frame by the user.
