Sleek and designed without compromise, the Tussock is a revelation. Weighing only 1.6 kilograms, it’s got a 60 L capacity, a real harness, durable, water-resistant body, and is made in Melbourne.
The EXACT FIT Mid harness provides exceptional comfort and support with hand-bent frames, double-back hipbelt and composite harness structure. The Diamondloc fabric is water resistant and gives unparalleled strength for weight, with reinforcing in high-wear areas. A serious front pocket, floating lid, hydration compatibility and gear attachment options enhance the Tussock’s stylish, lightweight functionality.

DIAMONDLOC
When rucksack weight is the priority, we use Diamondloc fabric. Weighing a paltry 170 g/m2, this 210-denier nylon reinforced with a grid of UHMWPE (ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene). It has incredible tear resistance and stops puncture rips in their tracks. Diamondloc is finished with a polyurethane coating on the inside and a DWR water-shedding treatment on the outside: making it water resistant. As with all synthetic materials, using a dry bag or stuff sacks is suggested. Diamondloc is perfect for lighter, faster adventures, both on and off track.
FLOATING LID
The floating lid and double-layered throat are designs born of experience. The lid is attached with straps, allowing extension to give 5-10 litres of extra capacity when needed: for water runs, helping mates or the start of a long multi-day trip. Functionality and comfort combine: cinch the internal compression-strap tight to create room for a broad-brimmed hat. There is also an externally-accessed pocket with key clip and a discrete internal pocket.
SIDE-OPENING FRONT ZIP
This functional design is born from experience. Designed to ensure complete pocket access when technical gear is attached, the large side-opening front pocket allows for versatile packing and effective organisation of equipment. The water-resistant #8 zip is positioned and straight-stitched to improve longevity and ease-of-closure, while the storm shield is shaped to close, protecting from the elements. Neat and streamlined, this pocket design enhances useability in every season.
IT'S THE LITTLE THINGS
Quality threads, twin needles, bar tacks for reinforcement and strength. Non-crack nylon buckles that bend rather than break. Durable, chunky YKK zips. The water-resistant webbing used on load-carrying straps means you won’t be given the slip. ONE PLANET consider every detail, creating big differences in use.
WATER BOTTLE POCKETS
Water is critical, and never far from a bushwalkers’ mind. The generously-cut bottle pockets are low and handy, making water accessible and putting weight close to your back for ergonomic load carrying. Perfect for bottles of all sizes, they also have a drain hole, preventing your pockets becoming buckets when it’s raining cats and dogs.
