Gilling Backpack 20L – Ultralight Hiking Daypack Built for Fast Mountain Days

Meet the Klättermusen Gilling Backpack 20L — an ultra-light technical hiking backpack designed for fast-moving adventures, minimalist trekking and demanding single-day hikes. With its featherweight construction, breathable carry system and intelligent trail organization, the Gilling 20L delivers exactly what modern hikers want: freedom of movement, stability and smart gear access without unnecessary bulk.

Weighing only 497 g, this compact yet capable 20-liter daypack almost disappears on your back while still carrying everything you need for a full day in the mountains. Its ventilated harness, S-shaped shoulder straps and flexible structure allow your body to move naturally whether you're climbing steep switchbacks, scrambling rocky ridges or covering long alpine trails.

Who is it for?

Fast hikers, minimalist trekkers, alpine explorers and anyone who prefers lightweight technical gear over bulky packs. If your ideal day involves covering distance efficiently on mountain trails with just the essentials, the Gilling Backpack 20L is built to keep your load stable while letting your body move freely.

What Makes It Stand Out

  • Ultra-light mountain design: At only 497 g, the Gilling 20L is built for hikers who want maximum freedom of movement and minimal weight on long trails.
  • Ventilated carry system: Ridge foam and breathable mesh enhance airflow across your back, helping regulate temperature during steep climbs or warm hiking days.
  • Smart trail organization: Top-loaded zip opening with internal lid pocket, expandable front pocket for wet gear and multiple stretch pockets for quick-access essentials.
  • Built for technical terrain: Trekking pole attachment, compression cords and customizable loop webbing keep your gear stable even on uneven mountain trails.
  • Sustainable technical fabric: Made with Retina® Ultra Econyl® recycled polyamide, bluesign® approved and PFAS-free for reduced environmental impact.

The result is a technical daypack that feels almost weightless while still offering the durability, stability and organization needed for serious outdoor use. Whether you're tackling steep alpine routes, moving quickly across ridgelines or heading out for a full-day hike, the Gilling keeps your essentials accessible and your movement unrestricted.

Why You’re Going to Love It

The Gilling was designed with one clear philosophy: carry only what matters and move efficiently through the mountains. Everything about this pack — from the lightweight structure to the breathable harness — supports that idea.

  • Moves naturally with your body thanks to ergonomic S-shaped shoulder straps and flexible construction.
  • Keeps gear accessible on the trail with expandable front storage and stretch side pockets.
  • Maintains comfort even on long climbs with a ventilated mesh and ridge foam back system.
  • Stabilizes the load with compression cords and wide hip-belt attachment points.
  • Supports sustainable gear choices with recycled materials and PFAS-free construction.

If you’re searching for a lightweight hiking backpack that prioritizes mobility, breathability and smart trail organization, the Klättermusen Gilling 20L delivers a minimalist design with serious mountain capability.

Need more room for longer hikes, extra layers or more equipment? Discover the Gilling Backpack 26L, the larger version built for longer day adventures.

Great quality, a bit frumpy
Just ok. Probably should have returned these as I feel a bit like a grandma when I wear them, So they hang in my closet. Not super flattering but nice quality and fabric. Thickness is perfect. Style just isn’t for me but comfy

Amazing Fit For Tall Senior Slim Person!
Fit Type: 33" Inseam, Size: Medium, Color: Lake Green
I usually wear a size 8 or 10 or medium. But being 5 foot 11 and weigh 145, it’s very hard to find pants that fit. These in medium are great lightweight and long enough that they touch the floor in the back. Being older I have extra weight in my stomach and waist, but the waist is wide and not tight. It fits nice in the back also and the rise is long enough. Great summer pants for our hot weather in Florida. Even if they do pill some, I have a gadget that removes any pilling so not worried about that. I got the medium in the teal color which is not as bright but a nice color.

Pilling
I loved these pants very much when I first purchased them the fit was amazing and the length was even better. Pants are very flattering. I wore them for the first time a few days ago only for a couple hours and pilling happened immediately! I am very annoyed at that fact because I purchased these pants at the end of March and I am not in my return window! I am Not a happy customer at all. Waste of money

Bought again but note the material was different .
Fit Type: 33" Inseam, Size: Medium, Color: White
Love these pants . Good quality. Good material and made well. Bought a second pair but they are lighter weight material which is nice for the summer. Will buy again. First heavier white material did not shrink. Not sure about the most recent material as I haven’t washed them yet. Size true to fit

Good length, nice and comfy!
Fit Type: 33" Inseam, Size: Medium, Color: Army Green
Update after wearing on international trip: I still love these pants, but something about the high waist doesn’t look great on me if I wear a shorter length or cropped top (usually what I wear with high waisted pants). The waistband is too wide, and it looks unflattering. I may try to get it altered (again) to have a thinner waistband, but not eager to spend any more on these than I already have. 😭 Original review: I love these pants….I really wanted a natural fiber pant that wasn’t ankle length (I’m 5’8”)! I do NOT like that so so so many pants (from some of my favorite name brands but especially here on Amazon also) are “high waters”. These are a tad long at 33” (they didn’t have the 31” in size M in the color I wanted), but I will get them hemmed. I am also long waisted and don’t usually like wide waistbands, but this waistband doesn’t bother me, and they look great on. They did not seem to shrink after washing, and I even put them in the dryer on low for about 10 minutes (I wasn’t brave enough to go longer), and they did not shrink much. I was hoping they might shrink a tad in length. They must run a tad large, since I am a bit heavy right now, but they aren’t too tight (like so much of my wardrobe is at the moment). They are very comfortable, and I’m glad to have some pants to wear when I travel.
