Turkana Gear YakSak™   Pocket Backpack

COMPACT & FOLDABLE

Decades of Travel, One Clear Lesson

After 30 years of global motorcycle and 4x4 travel, one truth stands: you always need a small, lightweight, stowaway backpack. Whether it’s for groceries, hauling gear off the bike or 4x4, or a quick day hike, the YakSak is that piece of kit you’ll use far more than you expect.

We’ve destroyed enough budget foldables to know the weak points: paper-thin fabric pretending to be tough, poor stitching and weak yarns, and no chance of lasting beyond a season or two. That’s why we built the YakSak™ differently — a packable backpack designed to survive years of use, heavy loads, and hard travel without giving up.

The straps are spaced wider to sit naturally on your shoulders, making it comfortable over casual clothes or bulky adventure jackets. It’s one of the most comfortable, lightweight, foldable, and packable backpacks you’ll find — ready for daily use or long-haul travel.

The YakSak™ – Typical Users & Uses

 1. Travelers & Backpackers

• Frequent flyers, gap-year explorers, festivalgoers, and long-term travellers love the YakSak™ because space is always limited.
• Works perfectly as a secondary bag for city exploring, grocery runs, or side trips where a big pack is overkill.

 2. Outdoor & Adventure People

• A favourite for hikers, campers, kayakers, cyclists, and motorcycle riders as a backup bag.
• Used as a “summit bag” — a small daypack for hauling snacks, water, or gear after setting up camp.
• Overlanders and touring riders use it because it packs tiny and disappears into luggage until it’s needed.
• Straps spaced wide for comfort over riding jackets and protective gear.

 3. Minimalists & Urban Users

• For people who don’t want a bulky backpack every day but like having a compact, lightweight buddy “just in case.”
• Great for groceries, commuting, gym gear, or errands, especially in cities where walking, cycling, or public transport is the norm.

 4. Families & Parents

• A lightweight “spare bag” for outings, school runs, or hauling kid gear.
• Perfect for those moments when jackets, toys, or books suddenly end up in your hands.

 5. Open-Minded / Practical Shoppers

• For people who value function over fashion, wanting one bag that adapts to many situations.
• A favourite with eco-conscious buyers who want durability and longevity instead of disposable, flimsy alternatives.

Everyday Tough, With a Cheeky Side

 If you’re the whimsical skedadler who just needs something light to lug a few questionable souvenirs (yes, even the cheesy ones), the YakSak has your back.

 Basically, if you’ve got stuff to carry and a life to live — whether it’s passports, groceries, gym shoes, or kids’ toys — the YakSak is your for-life buddy.
