Vango Aitrek 30+5

£50.00

A pack that takes many of its design cues from larger packs built to carry more weight. It’s also one of the few packs to have an adjustable back system. Good in theory, although it does add weight and fuss. The mesh back does offer plenty of venting, although the rubberised material can be a little sticky. Its curve is ...

Vango Airtrek 2010

£50.00

The Vango Airtrek offers a rain cover, adjustable ventilated back system, good pockets and a relatively comfy carry. It is hydration-compatible with a useful external pocket on the rear for carrying waterproofs or easy access layers. But it’s relatively heavy at around 1700g and lacks the comfort factor of packs in the next price bracket up. Stockists – tel. 0844 ...

Vango Airtek 25 rucksack

£40.00

With an efficient concave, airflow back system and a comfortable, breathable and very adjustable harness, the Airtrek offers superb value for money. It’s not the largest pack, and the split main compartment doesn’t help either, but it has useful pockets in the lid and on the front, and another on the hip belt that’s ideal for a GPS or small ...

Vango Airvent 25l

£45.00

Comfortable, well-built and bristling with features including a great selection of pockets, a rain cover, and a cool and stable back system. It carried a large load well but struggled a little with smaller ones, as there’s no compression straps to prevent heavier items moving around. Hydration system-compatible, but the port for the hose is so small that it’s necessary ...

Vango Traversa 35 2009

£40.00

The Vango Traversa 35 rucksack has a medium back; comfy shoulder straps; top zip pocket; 2 pole or ice axe loops, front daisy chain, 2 mesh side pockets, comfy hipbelt, removable back stiffener, drawcorded bottom part, red rain cover. But it’s quite heavy at 1351g; undersized by 5 litres at a tested capacity of 30 litres – might not be ...

VANGO AIRVENT

£55.00

Review: The Airvent concave back is cool and comfy and the shoulder straps are broad so spread the load well. The hip fins are well-padded but a little short, which affects comfort and stability a little. Slightly tighter on space than most tested but comfy to carry with good features, including useful pockets and a rain cover. Compression straps make ...

Vango Tiree 25 unisex rucksack

£35.00

The Vango Tiree 25 unisex rucksack has a good, channelled back system – comfortable, cool and it holds the load close to your back. The Vango Tiree 25 hip belt is comfy, too, but the shoulder straps feel a little too padded. A good size for day-walks and we like the double lid pocket – useful for separating regularly needed ...

Vango Stealth 40+8 2008

£50.00

Vango has always been a brand that you can rely on for coming up with superb-value products – and the Stealth rucksack is no exception. You get a well-padded back system that can also be adjusted for length. This has good stiffness to make packing easier. The body is a simple single compartment with a useful front pocket that is ...

Vango Flux 30 rucksack (2008)

£40.00

ReviewThis ultralight rucksack has a 30 litres capacity; padded back system with well-padded lumbar pad and hipbelt fins; hipbelt pockets; mesh side pockets; compression straps; front elasticated compressor; hydration system-compatible; internal and external lid pockets; excellent value. But it’s heavy for runners at 900g.

Vango Flux 30

£40.00

This 30-40 litre rucksack weighs 900g, which is relatively light; well-padded back system; single lid buckle; mesh side pockets and compression strap; elasticated front compressor; small snow-lock extension; hydration system-compatible; good lid pocket; reinforced base. But the webbing straps are not as smooth-running as pricier options; light fabric not the most durable.

Vango Airvent 35

£45.00

Unusually, this daysack features a snow lock extension for the mouth of the pack along with a compression strap. This is a really useful, important feature and will prevent rain entering even if you overfill it. The ventilated back system has shoulder straps, a chest strap and hipbelt, which all provide basic adjustment and padding where needed. There are fastenings ...

Vango Airvent 35

£45.00

This daysack from Vango has a nice concave-style back system, and the Airvent is cool and dry to wear and the back-length about ideal. Against it though, the padded hip fins stick up at an odd angle. It’s a robust rucksack that proves tighter on space than some, but is reasonably stable and also has some nice features. A decent ...

Vango Air Ridge

£40.00

This 25-litre daysack from Vango uses the Air Vent back system, which seems quite sparse on padding, but actually feels very comfortable on your back, even when worn over just a base layer, with the broad, well-padded hip belt taking most of the weight. The shoulder straps are contoured and well padded, and the chest strap offers some adjustment. The ...
