Wander 12L Backpack - Kids'

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I’ve fit a lot of young hikers in the Wander series, and the Wander 12 hits a sweet spot. It’s small enough for comfort but structured enough to feel like a real pack. The panel-loading design makes packing simple, and the harness breathes well on warm days. It’s a great way to help a newer hiker feel capable on their own."

We bring the Wander 12 Backpack along when we’re introducing a young hiker to the rhythm of the trail. Gregory builds it with the same attention to comfort as their larger packs, giving new explorers a breathable backpanel, a balanced carry, and a shape that stays comfortable as the miles start to add up. The compact 12-liter capacity makes essentials easy to manage without overwhelming their stride, helping the focus stay on the fun of moving through the outdoors.

The panel-loading design keeps access straightforward, while stretch mesh pockets hold bottles within easy reach. A soft, perforated harness promotes airflow on warm days, and the internal organization helps keep items sorted so nothing gets lost at the bottom of the pack. Durable materials and a simple, confidence-building fit make the Wander 12 a reliable companion for short hikes, neighborhood adventures, and early steps into longer trails.
