Maori used to carry food and implements in a Pikau which was usually made from flax and could be carried by hand or on a person’s back.

These days the word has progressed to mean carry, as well as carry bag, hence the term to Pikau a pig or deer carcass. Our Ridgeline Pikau has an external zip pocket, has padded shoulder straps and is manufactured from durable bonded fleece that doesn’t make a sound in thick bush. Complements our Rata bumbag nicely if you plan a day trip onto the open tops where all the gear is needed.
