About Turbat

Who are Turbat?
Turbat has carved out a unique niche since its inception in 2014. This Ukrainian brand specialises in lightweight, compact, and versatile gear designed for travellers who prefer to explore with just a 30-litre backpack, regardless of destination.
Founded by a group of passionate globetrotters, Turbat was born from first-hand experiences ranging from Namibia to Papua New Guinea. These journeys revealed a gap in the market for travel gear that could meet the needs of minimalist adventurers.
Made for Travellers by Travellers
Over the past decade, Turbat has grown significantly. The company now boasts a team of 13, collaborates with 20 production partners across Ukraine, and produces nearly 47,000 items annually. Their reach has expanded beyond local borders, with products available in Canada, South Korea, Germany, and now, here in the UK.
At the core of Turbat's philosophy is its slogan: “Unbound. True. Alive.” This encapsulates Turbat's belief in the transformative power of travel—breaking free from routine, staying authentic, and embracing new experiences.
