With Pre-Order, you can purchase the latest items added to our store in advance of them arriving with us.
Your Pre-Order is prioritised (at no additional charge); meaning that as soon as the product arrives with us, we can wrap it straight back up; ready for collection via Click & Collect or despatch to you — it often never even hits the stock room shelves!
With Pre-Launch, the date when we expect to receive the product ourselves is still a little too hazy to be confident in accepting Pre-Orders.
So, instead, you can submit your email address against the item you are interested in and we will email you as soon as stock arrives on the system.
Estimated Delivery & Collection Dates are given on Pre-Order and Pre-Launch products. They are for indication purposes only and can change at any time without notice.
The dates we provide are based on indications given by our suppliers. Whenever we get updated information from our suppliers we will endeavour to update the Estimated Delivery & Collection Dates provided on product pages.

As the name suggests, Vango have made the Sherpa change size from 60L to 70L thanks to expansion zip side pockets, giving plenty of storage space for any extra items you might need on your DofE expeditions. This generous size is carried by the Self Adjust back system, adaptable to backs of almost any size and designed to carry weight with comfort all day long. The adjustable harness is shaped to provide an optimum fit and the air mesh in the shoulder straps provide a steady air flow. The sternum strap with whistle provides extra support when carrying heavier loads. This ‘S’ version is designed for those with a shorter back length, measuring between 46-56cm from hip to C7 vertebrae.
There are plenty of pockets for storage and easy access, with a very important OS map-sized pocket with a water-resistant zip, two zips pockets in the lid, expansion side zip pockets and an optional compartment divider; useful for separating wet and dry kit at the bottom of your bag. The practicality then goes further, with a zip pocket on the waist belt that’s ideal for snacks when on the move!
The main rucksack fabric is 600D Excel Polyester; tough, rugged and backed with PU for extra strength. Although it’s highly water-resistant, Vango have included a high visibility raincover just in case the weather takes a serious turn and it starts raining heavily, rounding off a rucksack that’ll see you go all the way from your Bronze DofE through to Gold and beyond.
