Rab Latok 20, 28 and 38. Mountaineering backpacks designed to keep gear close to your body for moving through technical terrain. While all three sizes share a lightweight, alpine-focused design, they differ in their opening styles and specific features.
⭐ Mountain Group's opinion
First, choose the volume required for your activity. The Latok 20 makes sense as a summit pack; the 28 and 38 versions allow for organizing a more complete load. Downsizing is only worth it if your gear fits without compromising access to your equipment.
Latok 20: Cordura fabric with Spectra® Ripstop, Mono Mesh harness and two zippered harness pockets.
Latok 20: Top opening with drawcord and protective flap; removable webbing hipbelt.
Latok 28 and 38: Roll-top entry, security pockets and removable components to reduce weight.
Latok 28 and 38: HeadLocker axe attachments and removable rope strap.
🎯 Usage and fit
Mountaineering and climbing with the volume appropriate for the duration and equipment. Check the selected capacity before purchasing: the features of the 20 L version do not automatically apply to the 28 and 38 L versions.
🔍 Range comparison

❓ Before choosing
The backpack is not a replacement for a dry bag. Protect spare clothing and other items that must stay dry separately.
