Up for sale is a rare vintage Camp Trails external frame hiking backpack, built in the late 1970s and designed for serious backcountry use. With its vibrant orange nylon body, oversized aluminum frame, and dual-compartment layout, this pack is a standout for collectors, vintage gear lovers, or hikers seeking a reliable retro companion.
Product Details:
• Brand: Camp Trails (original foil-style logo sticker is worn but visible—consistent with late-’70s models)
• Color: Bright orange nylon with reinforced stitching
• Frame Size: Approx. 33.5” H x 15” W
• Pack Body Dimensions: Approx. 23” H x 18.5” W x 7.5” D
• Estimated Capacity: 50–60 liters
• Construction: Lightweight aluminum external frame with adjustable suspension
• Compartments:• Top-loading main compartment with drawstring closure and flap cover
• Lower compartment accessed via front zipper—ideal for sleeping bags or heavier gear
• Dual side gear pockets with buckle-strap closures
• Harness System: Original padded shoulder straps and adjustable hip belt
• Country of Manufacture: USA
Condition:
Excellent vintage condition. All straps, buckles, and frame components are intact and functional. The original Camp Trails logo sticker is worn, but its placement and style match known models from this era. Light cosmetic wear consistent with age and use. Photos say it all.
Why It Stands Out:
The dual-compartment layout offers superior gear organization, and the tall frame is ideal for extended treks or taller hikers. Its design is consistent with Camp Trails’ Astral Horizon or Mountaineer series—favorites among scouts and long-distance backpackers. Whether you’re hitting the trail or curating a vintage gear collection, this pack delivers both form and function.
