G'day Min,

There isn't a removable back insert in the B-Lite 55, the pack has a mesh-backed harness with an aluminium frame that helps to create some curvature so that there is some airflow between the pack and the mesh. Internally there is a small pocket that you put a water bladder, but there are no removable parts. 

G'day Shaul,

I've just double checked and the B-Lite 55L Backpack doesn't have a specific minimum or maximum weight limit however generally, if you fully pack a 55 pack you'll end up with 10-15kg in the pack. These packs are generally designed for longer day walks, or single overnight walks.

G'day HP,

I've been and had a look at a Black Wolf B-Lite 55 just to confirm my thoughts, and as I suspected it has a frame that's going to prevent you from compressing the height of the bag at all sorry. You might be able to sneak it through on some airlines, but they're all getting stricter on these things so I'm not sure I'd risk it. 

G'day Geoff,

You'll have no worries at all fitting the Black Wolf 3L Tank Hydration Bladder inside your Black Wolf B-Lite 55L Backpack. 

G'day Raymond,

On the surface, it does sound like the Black Wolf B-Lite 55L Backpack might be good for you but the length of your back is the most important part and we can't always get that accurate when just looking at your height. If you'd be able to measure your back for us and give us a call on 1300 914 007, then our customer service team will be able to give you a hand with getting the absolute best bag for your needs. 

G'day Raymond,

I've just measured from the top of the shoulder strap to the waistband and I reckon that the Black Wolf B-Lite 55L Backpack would be a winner for you!

G'day Sean,

The Black Wolf B-Lite 55L Backpack would be too large for carry on with most airlines. The safest bet for a carry on bag would be to limit yourself to nothing bigger than a 40L bag. 

G'day Brett,

Just waiting for more stock to arrive so that I can measure this up for you. Thanks for your patience.

Hi Brett,

I've measured this up for you, from the top of the shoulder strap, with it rounded as it would over a shoulder, to the centre of the hip belt, the measurement is 45-47 cm. I too am 6 foot, or just a little over, and this fits comfortably on my back with the hip belt situated in the current location to carry load on my waist.

I hope this helps with your decision.

G'day Jen,

The shoulder straps on the Black Wolf B-Lite 55L can be adjusted but you can't adjust the length of the torso of the pack. If you're after something similar with an adjustable length harness have a look at the Deuter ACT Lite 50 10 or ACT Lite SL 45 10, depending on your height and build. 

G'day Anne,

The best option we have available is the Black Wolf Overall available here which is designed specifically for what you're after. It's a bit bigger than the 55L of the Black Wolf B-Lite Backpack but would ensure that your bag straps are all contained and offer minimal protection against the bag being damaged in transit.

Hi Valerie,

Black Wolf doesn't list maximum weight capacities for their packs but given the design and materials, it can handle overnight gear no worries.
