The Steady represents Trail Bum's ultralight approach taken to its logical conclusion. It's a simple cylindrical roll-top pack reminiscent of early UL designs, now updated with cutting-edge materials and refined trail-tested details. This premium version uses ripstop nylon fabric made with Spectra fibre – an ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene that's 15 times stronger than steel whilst being lighter than most natural or synthetic fibres available. This isn't theoretical strength; it's the kind of material that survives thousands of trail miles without the gradual wear that eventually kills lighter fabrics. The back features removable padding for comfort and customisation, whilst lightweight mesh pockets on the front and sides handle drinks, small items, and shells with reinforced bottoms for increased durability. Capacity ranges from 40 to 50 litres, with a large expandable section providing practical storage even when your load increases after resupply. The design stays deliberately streamlined but boasts a padded waist belt for enhanced comfort.
If you’re the kind of hiker who measures pack weight in grams rather than kilos, who knows their base weight down to the last stuff sack, and who's figured out that carrying less means walking further, Trail Bum is built for you.
Created by Japanese ultralight pioneer Tomoya Tsuchiya – owner of cult Tokyo outdoor store Hiker's Depot – this is his backpacking philosophy distilled into packs that strip away everything unnecessary. The brand name says it all: these are bags for people who'd rather spend time on the trail than living in the city, designed with the streamlined simplicity that reflects that lifestyle. No excess features, no unnecessary weight, just functional gear that lets you focus on the path ahead.
Tsuchiya introduced ultralight hiking in Japan when it was still considered radical, opening his store in 2008 and championing the idea that reducing your load isn't about being lightly equipped – it's about distilling kit down to essentials through cutting-edge design. Every Trail Bum pack embodies that philosophy, built from advanced composite materials like ALUULA, Spectra fibre and Ultra 200X that offer exceptional strength-to-weight ratios.
Whether you're planning mega thru-hikes, wild camping getaways, or just reconsidering how much you actually need to carry, Trail Bum represents the evolution of what a backpack can be when you stop adding features and instead start asking what you can take away.
