The Fab takes everything that works about the Trail Bum Bummer pack and refines it into a smaller, more compact package. It features a back that's 5cm shorter with a curved bottom, reducing capacity to 25 litres for a profile that's noticeably more streamlined. It's sized for day hikes, overnight trips with a dialled base weight, or any situation where 30 litres feels like overkill but you still want Trail Bum's proven roll-top design. Available in premium Spectra versions (Night Cloud, Forest Spectra) or standard fabrics (Black, Grey), it maintains the same construction principles as its larger siblings whilst embracing the philosophy that smaller capacity forces better packing. The roll-top closure adapts to varying loads, but this is a seriously light pack built for minimalist gram-counters.
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.
