Carry comfortably: Get the right rucksack fit with Cotswold Outdoor

Your rucksack is with you every step of the way on outdoor adventures – so it’s vital that it fits properly. A well-fitted pack helps distribute weight evenly, reduces strain on your back and shoulders, and keeps you comfortable mile after mile.

Not sure where to start? Drop by your local Cotswold Outdoor for a Free Rucksack Fitting Appointment. Their in-store experts are on hand to help you choose the right pack for your plans – whether it’s a lightweight daypack for quick hill walks or a 65L+ rucksack for multi-day expeditions. We’ll adjust the straps, hip belt, and back system to ensure a secure, balanced fit that works with your body – not against it.

Choosing the right rucksack isn’t just about size – it’s about the adventure ahead. Different activities demand different features, from hydration compatibility and gear attachments to gender-specific fits that offer better support and comfort, especially on longer journeys.

Whatever your next adventure looks like, their team is here to help you find the pack that will carry you through it in comfort.

Why shop with Cotswold Outdoor?

Every time a BMC member shops with Cotswold Outdoor and uses their member discount, either in-store or online, a percentage of the purchase goes towards the BMC's environmental campaigns to protect the landscapes we love.

Together, we stand for adventure and preserving nature. Our partnership builds on a relationship between the organisations going back a number of years where, more recently, Cotswold Outdoor has supported the BMC’s campaigns and activities including ‘Mend Our Mountains’, a project to repair footpaths in some of the country’s most popular walking locations.
