Stable carry for full hill days
Rab says:
Equipped for all-mountain day hikes with a stable, close-fitting carry system, this adaptable 27L pack is great for pushing the pace on any terrain. Packed with features and impressively comfortable, it's the multi-tool of backpacks.
When you need one pack for all your day adventures, the Protium offers impressive multi-activity versatility. With a body-contouring back system that flexes as you move, it’s equipped for all-mountain day hikes, scrambles, and pushing the pace on any terrain. Its slick, streamlined appearance and adaptable storage features combine to create a modern do-it-all pack that you’ll take wherever you’re headed.
Our Verdict
The Protium 27 is built around a close, stable carry rather than maximum back ventilation. The Air Contour back system uses a semi-rigid panel that supports the load while still flexing with movement, which makes sense for scrambling, rough paths and fuller day loads. At 990g, plus a 68g rain cover, it is not a minimalist 27-litre pack, but the weight brings useful structure, adjustable back length and a supportive hipbelt.
The storage is well judged, with a large stretch front pocket and side pockets for quick-access layers, and zipped hipbelt pockets for snacks or frequently used items. The 27-litre capacity is best for long day hikes, scrambles and long hill days where stability and organisation matter most.
