Where do you recommend. I am very short....only 4'11" or 151cm and needva little person backpack and very much want to try one on rather than buy online.....any suggestions. Many thanks
 
Ideal sleeping bag liner whether we want to add a thermal plus to our bag, or if we want to use it alone to sleep in shelters or hostels. Thanks to its mummy shape, it adapts perfectly to our body.

€46,-
Great Outdoors, Dublin 2, ask for specific advice, no obligation to purchase.

Base Camp on middle Abbey Street, Dublin 1 will advise also.
 
53 Degrees North in Blanchardstown has a huge selection that you can try on and the staff are very knowledgeable.
 
Technical backpack for day trips with backpack cover and internal compartment for the hydration bladder. Ideal daypack for excursions where we need a medium capacity backpack. The back with Air Flow System creates large air channels that will keep our back as cool as possible.

€83,-
Thanks Limerick or Galway the closet but have no problem travelling to Dublin to get the most suitable
 
If you cannot find what suits locally, you may care to contact bespoke makers.

One I have used over the years is zPacks of Florida, United States. (my only connection is as a customer). I was looking for very light weight gear, which is a forte. From their storyline, and in my experience, they have an interest in developing stuff that works for a wide variety of people

Their entry page is zpacks.com. If you cant see something that suits, send them an email.

And I am sure there are other makers, if you were to search.

Kia kaha (take care, be strong, get going)

mountain warehouse is good. And Aldi had some as well a while ago. I got mine there and it lasted the pace....

River Deep in Galway and Venture Out in Ennis. The staff in Venture Out are hillwalkers and will be able to fit you for a rucksack or any other equipment you may need.

Second River Deep Mountain High (with the caveat that I left Galway five years ago).
 
The focus is on reducing the risk of failure through being well prepared. 2nd ed.
