FAQs

Is Sojurnr gear actually designed for women?

Yes. Designed for women's bodies from the very beginning. No downsizing. No rebranding. No "shrink it and pink it."

The Resolute is fully adjustable and built around how your body actually moves and carries weight.

The hipbelt is anatomically angled for the natural tilt of women's hips and a lower center of gravity, so it stays put instead of digging, slipping, or creating pressure points. It adjusts across a range of hip widths for a secure, comfortable carry.

The S-curve shoulder straps contour naturally around your boobs instead of smashing down on them. They follow your natural shape and work across different shoulder widths, torso lengths, and body types.

Is the Resolute 50-55 beginner-friendly if I'm carrying up to 40 lbs?

The Resolute 50-55 makes getting into ultralight backpacking easier. Built for women's bodies from day one, its adjustable harness, removable frame, and removable hipbelt let you dial in your fit as your gear evolves.

A good rule of thumb is to keep your total pack weight around 20% of your body weight or less. The Resolute is most comfortable under 30 lbs but can carry up to 40 when needed. The lighter you pack, the easier your hike. And as you gain experience and upgrade to lighter gear, you can remove the frame, hipbelt, or both for an even lighter setup.

What makes Sojurnr different from other ultralight brands?

We design with women first. Full stop. Ultralight gear built for fit, comfort, and high-visibility safety on the trail. And our mission goes beyond the gear itself. We're building a brand where women, especially women of color, feel like they belong outdoors. Not as an afterthought. From the beginning.

Why does the pack have so many pockets? That adds so much extra weight.

Obsessing over every single gram is usually more of a guy thing. We design for real use.

Most women care more about organization and convenience, especially when you're carrying extras like a pee rag or period supplies. We focus on smart organization without the bulk.

What's the difference between traditional and ultralight backpacking?

Picture hiking 20 miles with 20 pounds on your back versus 40. That's the difference.

Traditional backpackers prioritize campsite comfort, carrying a base weight of around 20 pounds for everything except consumables. Ultralight backpackers cut that to 10, moving faster, feeling better, and keeping things simple.

Your pack is over 2 pounds. Can it really be called ultralight?

Fair question. Ultralight backpacking is about carrying as little as possible while staying safe and comfortable, and "light" is relative. The Resolute 50-55 weighs 2 lbs 6 oz.

But for most women, it's not just about a lighter pack. It's about making the load feel lighter. The right fit and structure distribute weight properly, so your pack works with your body, not against it.

Where do you ship?

We currently ship within the United States. International shipping is on our radar, so sign up for our list to stay updated.

If it doesn't work for me, can I return it?

Yes. We want you to feel confident buying a $329 pack you've never tried on. Return it within six months as long as it shows no visible wear or damage. Kickstarter backers have a full year from delivery. Shipping costs aren't covered.

Include your receipt so we can turn it around quickly.

Is the Resolute 50-55 and Hip Hiker made with recycled materials?

Some of it, yes. The main bag panels are made from 210D Venom Gridstop ECO fabric and the interior pockets from HyperD ECO fabric. We'll keep building on that as we grow. We'd rather tell you exactly what's in your gear than make claims we can't back up.

Do you have plans for a men's version?

Are you asking because men don't have enough outdoor gear options?

For now, we're focused entirely on women. Most outdoor gear has historically been designed with men in mind, and we're here to change that.
