Vaude Brenta 35 (2011)

£80.00

The adjustable back system has to be the biggest draw for this pack, being one of the simplest to adjust and allowing you to customise the fit. The real benefit comes from the ability to customise the amount of curve in the suspended mesh back system. Two small tabs are all it takes and so the pack can be adjusted ...

Vaude Jura 24

£60.00

The Vaude is a smart, traditional-looking pack, with a single-buckle lid closure and a cavernous main compartment. Kit separation is simple, with a large pocket on the lid and expansion pockets on each side – ideal for hats, gloves, snacks and water bottles. Features are kept to a minimum, although it has got two walking pole attachments and a rain ...

Vaude Astra Light 60 2011

The Vaude Astra Light 60 – a new, lightweight version of the classic Astra 65, a frequent winner of Trail tests – is the only pack here that uses a zip for main access. It also sports a versatile adjustable back system for comfort, which does, however, make it the heaviest on test. DesignThis and the Berghaus Torridon 65 are ...

Vaude Triset 35+8

£65.00

A long, slim shape allows for great amounts of upper body movement. The Aeroflex mesh back system is airy and has a useful length adjustment. It’s a bit complicated to work out, but is excellent once you do, with a decent range of adjustment. The face fabric is rugged and hard-wearing, if heavier than some, but the lack of a ...

Vaude Triset 35+8 2010

£65.00

The Vaude Triset won ‘Best Value’ in the June 08 Trail test (it’s £10 more expensive now) and here it keeps its closest competitor – the Lowe Alpine AirZone – among the runners-up. If you’re looking for a pack with an airflow back system it would be worth checking out both of these models along with the Karrimor Airspace. This ...

Vaude Spline 40 2010

£130.00

It would be easy to think that the standard rucksack design is the best design for the job. But it is possible to come up with a radical rethink of how a rucksack operates. And that is exactly what the designers of the Vaude Spline have done. This sack boasts a wealth of innovative design concepts. But do they work? ...

Vaude Triset 25+4

£45.00

A classic pack that has done consistently well over the years. The Triset is tall and slim, perfect for steep and strenuous going, with a well-padded, contoured harness and an excellent concave back system that is cool and stable. The additional 4L capacity comes from two expandable side pockets that will easily take a water bottle or flask. It also ...

Vaude Triset Ultralight 35 2009

£55.00

If you want to go lighter, try this slim-fitting rucksack with a well-vented back. At 775g the Vaude Triset Ultralight 35 is almost as light as the OMM Classic Marathon 32, but features a more complex back system and comfy mesh hipbelt that’s useful if you really can’t bear back sweat. The curved mesh back doesn’t eat into the main ...

£230.00

It’s a rucksack, but not like any you’ve seen before. With a full-length waterproof zip along the entire main compartment, taped seams throughout and a hipbelt system that swings as you walk, the Versametric Proof is, well, Not Like Other Sacks.   Design The first thing that strikes you about the Versametric is that it’s a clean and simple design, ...

VAUDE TRISET 35+8

£60.00

Review: The concave back system is cool and reasonably stable. The straps aren’t as luxurious as some, but are still comfy even when carrying large loads. This is a huge pack with as much as 43 litres of storage when stuffed to the gunnels. It’s tall and slim but has no bottom or side access, so can be tricky to ...

Vaude Triset 25+4

£40.00

The Vaude Triset 25+4 unisex rucksack has a narrow shape and concave back system that are cool and comfy. The Vaude Triset 25+4 hip fins feel lovely, too, even when carrying heavy loads, and the shoulder straps are nicely padded. A light and incredibly stable pack with twin compression straps and a slim profile that really does hug the whole ...

Vaude Rock Ultralight Comfort 25 rucksack (2008)

£35.00

This ultralight rucksack is very light at 636g; superb value; back plate twists with body and aids comfort and stability; mesh pockets; compression system; zipped lid pocket. But its 25 litres capacity means you may have to make sacrifices; lacks extra pockets for snacks; not as reflective as other packs; no accessory cord bungee for stashing extra gear; no hydration ...

Vaude Versametric Proof 65+10

£200.00

There are lots of ways to improve the comfort of a rucksack on the hill, and one of the most important factors to consider is how well the sack’s back system is designed to match the shape of the wearer’s back. Vaude’s Versametric back system features a stiff and supportive polycarbonate frame to reduce the energy used on every step ...

Vaude Triset 35

This 30-40 litre rucksack is a classic sack that benefits from an Aeroflex back system. This allows valuable airflow around the back, which is of particular benefit on hill-walks in warm weather. The back system is very comfortable, and the wide hipbelt allows much of the weight to be carried on the hips. I particularly like the design of the ...

£110.00

The Vaude Astra 65 has won ‘Best Buy’ awards from Trail on several occasions and this backpacking rucksack still offers the essential features that have made it so popular. It is based around a main compartment with a zip-out divider to provide an upper and lower packing area. The lid is a floating design that gets a removable baffle connecting ...

Vaude Triset 35 + 8

£55.00

The Triset rucksack fitted well – with a very long back and lovely slim profile. It has modest padding, but is ample for its size. We found the Aeroflex concave back system cool and very stable. The tall, slim profile makes it best for rugged terrain or scrambling, but this, combined with its huge volume, makes it more fiddly to ...

Vaude Jolly Comfort

£115.00

I’ve been carrying Artie around in a Jolly Comfort since he was six months old and if I was in the market for a carrier this is definitely the one I’d opt for because A) it has a good specifications for UK walkers and B) it offers the kind of value for money that I demand (I am a devout ...

Vaude Bavella 35

£75.00

This daysack from Vaude is initially fairly comfortable, with plenty of padding on the hip belt and shoulder straps and a fairly cool back system. However, the upwards tilt of the hip fins is annoying, as they tend to ride up your waist. It’s a wide, roomy pack that carries the load fairly low on your back, making it feel ...

Vaude Maremma 28

£55.00

This daysack from Vaude is a comfortable, stable pack that carries a full load very effectively. The harness is flimsy compared to the best in class, but the soft shoulder straps, which are fleece-lined to prevent chafing, are excellent. It’s a lightweight model that comes with a compass, thermometer, whistle and sit mat. The pale coloured liner and large main ...
