Karrimor Alpiniste 45+10 2008

£100.00

The Alpiniste has been a classic rucksack for about 20 years. This latest incarnation is as good as it ever was. The pack has a stiff  ‘Fformat’ padded back system with airflow chimney that takes a little of the heat out of the carry. The shoulder straps are just wide enough and padded enough to make the carry comfy without ...

Karrimor Marathon 30 rucksack (2008)

£60.00

ReviewThis ultralight rucksack has a good entry-level capacity of 30 litres coupled with a respectable weight of 652g for the sack. You also get a 128g hydration bladder provided for the price, which again is very respectable. The sack has a plain, padded back panel with padded hipbelt and shoulder straps, making this a reasonably comfortable carry. The main compartment ...

Karrimor Kodiak 30

£40.00

At just 844g  this 30-40 litre rucksack is one of the lightest sacks in this review. It is extremely simple, yet it manages to embody the basics of functional performance. So you get a padded back system, with some airflow channels to reduce sweat buildup. The waistbelt is a basic webbing design but it is wide enough to be reasonably ...

Karrimor Cougar 60-70

£100.00

This backpacking rucksack has bags of heritage and a well-proven design. The back length is adjustable on the move, thanks to the well-established SA back system, and this also allows lots of airflow around the back. The body of the sack is fairly conventional with an upper and lower main compartment, bellows side pocket, compression straps and a slim front ...

Karrimor Airspace 35 Ladies

£60.00

This rucksack has a cool Airspace back system, but we didn’t find it as stable and comfortable as others on the market. The hip belt is nicely padded, but we would have liked some elastic on the chest strap. It’s a good pack but we’d have preferred more pockets, especially one inside the lid. Also, the single compression strap makes ...

Karrimor Vapour 45L

£90.00

This is a 41-50 litre pack that’s designed to keep the weight down. The parts that need to be sturdy are just that, while other sections are nice and light. Even the clips are designed to reduce weight, and the walking pole straps can be removed. Pockets are limited to an internal and an external pocket in the lid, while ...

Karrimor Endurance 60-90

£250.00

This men’s backpacking rucksack’s new self-adjust back system is far more stable than before due to internal X-frame; can easily adjust back length without taking the rucksack off; lid extends; huge external pockets built into compression system; front mesh pockets; very flexible capacity. But back system feels a little lumpy; very unconventional compression and pocket layout takes time to understand; ...

Karrimor Airspace 30

£50.00

This daysack is similar to a technical climbing ’sack in concept with no unnecessary clutter and a clean, streamlined profile. The back system is adjustable, with shoulder straps you can alter at the top, a chest strap and hipbelt. The pocket on the body of the pack is comfortably OS map-sized. Plastic lugs and adjustable elastic allow for walking poles ...

Karrimor Trail 35

£50.00

This daysack from Karrimor is pretty comfortable, with plenty of padding on the hip belt and a fairly cool channelled back system. The padded shoulder straps are well shaped and the chest strap offers plenty of adjustment. The Trail is a short pack with a boxy shape that makes it feel a little unstable. The choice of pockets is good, ...

Karrimor Zephyr 25L

£60.00

This compact zipped daysack from Karrimor has a comfortable, channelled back system that keeps the load close to your back for stability. The padded shoulder straps are fine, but more adjustment on the chest strap would be a good idea. Some good features, including double compression straps, space for a hydration bladder and useful pockets. But the zipped compartments aren’t ...

Karrimor Cougar

£100.00

This rucksack from Karrimor has an easily adjustable back-length and minimum contact points, making this a comfy ’pack. Build quality is spot-on, earning it a lifetime guarantee. It has a split main compartment and a good selection of pockets, although the side ones are a little bulbous and clumsy-looking.
