Karrimor Spike 20 Rucksack

The Karrimor Spike 20 is a compact rucksack designed for outdoor activities like hiking, commuting, and day trips. It features a lightweight design with a zippered main compartment and bungee cord storage on the exterior for quick access to gear. The Spike series is known for its durability and inclusion of the 'Coolmesh' back system to improve ventilation during active use.

Originally a prestigious British brand founded in Lancashire in 1946, Karrimor was a pioneer in mountaineering equipment. However, the company faced financial difficulties and was eventually acquired. Today, the brand is owned by the Frasers Group (formerly Sports Direct International), which has shifted the brand's focus toward more accessible, value-driven outdoor apparel and equipment.

While the brand maintains its British heritage in its marketing and identity, manufacturing has largely moved to factories in Asia, including China, Vietnam, and Indonesia, to maintain competitive pricing. Despite the change in ownership and manufacturing strategy, Karrimor remains a household name in the UK for outdoor enthusiasts and professional hikers alike.
