  Product Description
The Vango Denali Pro 60:70 is a multi-day expedition rucksack built around Vango's A1 back system, which adjusts with one hand whilst you're wearing it. Two body-contoured alloy bars form the frame, and the single-strap adjustment mechanism lets you fine-tune the back length to match your torso without removing the pack. This system sits between Vango's simpler fixed-back designs and their fully articulated models, giving you proper load distribution for trips lasting anywhere from a long weekend to a fortnight in the mountains. The capacity works for most backpacking trips in the UK, Scottish Highlands included, and the 60:70 designation means it suits back lengths from 45cm to 55cm.

The construction combines Excel Eco 600D fabric on high-wear areas with lighter 250D ripstop elsewhere, both made from recycled polyester with PU backing. You get dual access through the top lid and a lower zippered panel, which saves digging through everything when you need your sleeping bag. The external wet-gear pocket (often called a 'floater pocket' by backpackers) sits at the front and takes a sodden tent inner or damp jacket without contaminating your dry kit inside. Pro-weave side pockets collapse flat when empty but stretch to hold water bottles or fuel canisters, and there's a map pocket on the lid that fits OS Landranger sheets. The rain cover stores in a zippered base compartment.

The hip belt pockets provide quick access to essentials like snacks, keys, or your phone while on the move, keeping your most-used items within easy reach. A dedicated sleeve and port make the pack compatible with most hydration bladders, helping you stay refreshed on long hikes. For winter trekking or climbing, the integrated ice axe loops with secure bungee retainers ensure your tools stay safely stowed. Dual compression straps on each side help stabilise lighter loads or attach extra equipment externally, giving you packing flexibility for any adventure and is perfect for DofE Awards, with its many features. The breathable AirMesh padding on the shoulder straps and hip belt enhances comfort during warm-weather hikes, while reflective detailing improves visibility during early morning starts or late evening returns.

Frequently Asked Questions


What's the actual capacity difference between 60 and 70 litres on this pack?
The 60:70 designation refers to back length adjustment range rather than two different capacities. This single model holds approximately 60 litres in the main compartment, with additional capacity coming from the lid pocket, front wet-gear pocket, and side pockets when loaded. The total usable volume reaches around 70 litres when you use the optional drawcord divider and pack the external compartments fully. The number relates to fitting back lengths between 45cm and 55cm using the A1 adjustment system.
Is the Vango Denali Pro 60:70 suitable for DofE?
Yes. It is specifically described by retailers as ideal for multi-day hiking and DofE expeditions, with the right balance of capacity, comfort and durability for Bronze, Silver and Gold. With up to 70 litres of storage, it has enough room for group kit, personal gear and food over several days.
Will this rucksack fit as aircraft cabin luggage?
No, the Denali Pro 60:70 exceeds cabin baggage dimensions for all major airlines. A 60-litre rucksack typically measures around 70-75cm in height even before you add the extended lid, which puts it well over the standard 56cm cabin limit. You'll need to check this pack as hold luggage when flying, which is standard practice for expedition-sized rucksacks. Remove or secure any loose straps before checking it in, and some backpackers put the pack inside the included rain cover or a large rubble sack to protect it from baggage handling.
What size hydration bladder fits in the Denali Pro?
The internal hydration sleeve accommodates bladders up to 3 litres, which is the standard maximum size for most hydration systems. The sleeve sits against the back panel inside the main compartment with a port exit near the top of the shoulder area for the drinking tube. Most 2-litre and 3-litre bladders from brands like Platypus, Source, or Camelbak fit without issues. You'll want to position the bladder correctly before loading other gear around it, and keep the weight close to your back for better load distribution.
Is the Excel Eco fabric actually waterproof or just water resistant?
The Excel Eco fabric is water resistant rather than waterproof, with a PU coating that sheds light rain and moisture. The zips aren't taped or sealed, so prolonged exposure to heavy rain will eventually let water seep through, particularly at seams and closure points. This is standard for rucksacks in this category - full waterproofing would add weight and reduce breathability. The included rain cover provides proper protection during downpours, and most backpackers also use dry bags or stuff sacks inside for critical items like sleeping bags and spare clothing. The water-resistant treatment helps when you're caught in brief showers or drizzle.
Can you remove the top lid to reduce weight for shorter trips?
The top lid on the Denali Pro 60:70 is integral to the design and can't be removed. It's attached with webbing straps that adjust to accommodate different load volumes, but these aren't designed for complete detachment. If you're looking to reduce weight for day walks or lighter trips, you'd be better served by a smaller capacity rucksack rather than trying to modify this pack. The lid adds minimal weight compared to the benefit of the pockets and weather protection it provides, and removing it would leave the main compartment without a proper closure system.
What's the purpose of the drawcord compartment divider?
The optional drawcord divider creates a floating partition inside the main compartment, typically used to separate a sleeping bag in the bottom section from clothing and gear in the upper section. You cinch the drawcord to seal off the lower area, then access it through the bottom zip panel without unpacking everything from the top. This keeps your sleeping bag compressed and isolated from potentially damp gear above it. You can leave the divider open when you don't need the separation, which gives you one large compartment for bulkier items or when you're packing less structured loads.
How much weight can the Denali Pro 60:70 carry comfortably?
The A1 back system and padded hip belt are designed to carry loads between 12kg and 18kg comfortably for most users over extended distances. You can load it heavier for shorter carries or when resupplying, but the frame and suspension work best in that range. Beyond 20kg, you'd want to look at rucksacks with more substantial frames and load-lifting features. For reference, a typical week-long backpacking trip in the UK with tent, sleeping system, cooking gear, food and water usually comes in around 15-17kg, which sits right in the Denali Pro's comfort zone. Proper weight distribution matters more than total capacity - keep heavy items close to your back and between your shoulder blades.
