Berghaus Bioflex 45 (2012)

£140.00

Prepare yourself for a totally different sensation when walking with this backpack, as Berghaus unleashes its BioFlex technology on the world. This unique back system sees the hipbelt pivot with you as you move, allowing you to bend forward and flex without being encumbered by your load. It does feel odd at first and takes some getting used to – ...

Berghaus Freeflow 35+8 (2011)

£80.00

A great pack for all-round walking, with an extra eight litres of expandable capacity for when you need to carry a bit more kit. The Freeflow back system is excellent, with minimal contact across the majority of the back and excellent padding in areas where it’s needed (hips and shoulders). The padding around the waistbelt is solid enough, and extends ...

Berghaus Freeflow Pro 40 2011

£100.00

Berghaus’ Freeflow range of rucksacks has been popular for many years. The Pro version came out in 2010 and keeps the rucksack closer to the wearer while still allowing air to flow across the back. For extra comfort the shoulder straps and hipbelt are perforated so you’ll get less sweaty. It has two internal compartments, but you can zip away ...

Berghaus Freeflow 20

£50.00

A streamlined little pack, with no little straps and fiddly bits to get in the way. On the back it does feel quite small and the length of this particular model is short. There are no compression straps, but the curved design and relatively compact capacity means that they’re not really missed. The back system is an updated version of ...

Berghaus Torridon 65 2011

£75.00

The Torridon is a new pack from Berghaus aimed at those who need the size and carrying capacity of a fully featured, multi-day backpack, but don’t want to break the bank. It’s only one of two packs here with an adjustable back system and is the only one with traditional zipped side pockets. It’s also the only one under £100. ...

Berghaus Octans 40 2011

£80.00

Developed for award-winning adventure race team Orion, the Berghaus Octans 40 is a large but seriously light pack designed for multi-day adventure racing. You don’t have to run with it, but you won’t mind that race pedigree on the hill. It’s a simple, clean design for minimalists, with sufficient pockets and versatility for multi-activity. DesignAt 684g, the Berghaus Octans 40 ...

Berghaus Freeflow 40

£90.00

H-shaped back system is good with a reduced contact area. It does make it a little wider than some of the others on test, though. The system also has a reduced curve that helps keep the centre of gravity forward. Perforated shoulder straps might look a bit NASA but they do a decent job of letting air in. The hip ...

Berghaus Freeflow Pro 40 2010

£100.00

The Berghaus Freeflow Pro 40 will appeal to those who like ventilated back systems. Trampoline netting is cut away so you have less contact area, and the aluminium poles have a reduced curve, keeping the pack closer to your centre of gravity. At around 1550g it’s midweight, and well-featured with a comfortable cutaway hipbelt with two mesh pockets and three ...

Berghaus Freeflow 20 rucksack

£50.00

With a  nice, simple design and unfussy exterior, the Freeflow features Berghaus’ improved Freeflow IV back system that allows a decent flow of air across your back and feels pretty stable, too. Lots of padding on the figure-hugging hip belt make easy work of load carrying, and the foam shoulder straps are comfortable and breathable. The roomy main compartment has ...

Berghaus Freeflow 25+5

£55.00

Comfortable enough, although the very padded hip belt feels a little clumsy in comparison with some. Unique belt buckle is very easy to use with cold or gloved hands, but the chest strap is fiddly to adjust. Freeflow back system suspends the load nicely away from your back, but also makes it a little unstable, especially when full. The main ...

BERGHAUS ROAM 35

£50.00

Review: Plain back, softened by three large pads, is comfortable enough, if a little warmer than concave designs. Holds the load nice and close to the back. A lovely light pack with plenty of storage and good pockets. It’s quite a minimalist design yet, oddly, has a split main compartment. Cinches down easily and proved very stable no matter what ...

Berghaus Arête 45 2008

£50.00

The Arête 45 is a wonderfully simple and functional rucksack, and at only 1045g it deserves to be high on the wants list of anyone heading to the hills. The sack has a simple padded back system, hipbelt and shoulder straps that allow you to throw it on your back and forget about it. The back is stiff enough to ...

Berghaus Sentinel 35

£115.00

This 30-40 litre rucksack has a built-in waterproof liner; hipbelt, liner and lid can be removed; wand pockets; compression straps; padded back that won’t hold snow; good lid pockets; ideal for winter mountaineers. But 1750g is very heavy; pricy; lid fit is poor; not the best sack for walkers.

Berghaus C7 1 Series 65+10

£100.00

This backpacking rucksack took first place in our test in May 2005. The back system is able to flex and move with the body while maintaining stability of the load. The shoulder straps can also rise up the back when you bend forward. I find it works really well and does not restrict body movement, making it ideal when walking ...

Berghaus Freeflow 30 + 6

£60.00

The re-designed Freeflow rucksack has a longish back that fits perfectly. The padding is also spot-on for a pack of this size – comfy without being over-elaborate. We loved the ultra-breathable EVA breathe-mesh shoulder straps – they really do feel cool and dry – and there’s plenty of up and down adjustment in the chest strap. Difficult to fault, even ...

Berghaus Antaeus 45+8

£70.00

This 41-50 litre rucksack is a reliable all-rounder. The back system can be adjusted in all the usual ways, as well as being lengthened to obtain a more precise fit. There is also a good selection of pockets: a good OS map-sized one on the front of the pack and two compressible side pockets. These are useful as you can ...

Berghaus C7 2 Series 70+10

£130.00

This backpacking rucksack, which comes in men’s and women’s styles, is big brother to the £100 Berghaus C7 1 Series 65+10 with the only difference being the price and capacity. The back system is unique as it is able to flex and move with the body, while maintaining stability of the load. This clever trick is achieved by having a ...

Berghaus Freeflow 30+6

£60.00

The design of this daysack is useful if you are away overnight as it uses a zip-out/Velcro inner section to split the pack into two. Access is gained via the pocket at the base, while the Velcro allows you to carry tent poles even when you are using the divider. The back system is well-vented and has soft, mesh-filled shoulder ...

Berghaus W Freeflow 30+6

£60.00

This daysack from Berghaus is an excellent fit. The harness is supremely comfortable, with a decent amount of padding on the hip belt and plenty of adjustment in the chest strap. The cool, comfy mesh back system is excellent, and the contoured, padded shoulder straps fit nicely without chafing or restricting movement. The harness distributes the load very effectively, allowing ...

Berghaus W Freeflow 25+5

£55.00

This daysack from Berghaus is hugely comfortable. The large, yet streamlined, main compartment sits securely on your back, and the excellent padded hip belt distributes the load more comfortably than most. The concave back system keeps you cool and the compression straps keep the load stable. The chest strap has a good range of adjustment –an important feature on women’s ...

Berghaus Freeflow III 35 + 8

£60.00

This daysack from Berghaus is very comfortable. You’ll hardly notice you’re carrying it – even when fully loaded – which says a lot about the Freeflow back system. However, it does carry the load away from the back, which can affect stability. The 35+8-litre capacity sounds huge, and it’s superbly featured, with everything you could wish for, including excellent pockets ...

Berghaus C7 1 Series

£100.00

This rucksack from Berghaus has the very impressive Bioflex back system, which can be adjusted while you’re actually wearing it. It also swivels slightly as you move, meaning it doesn’t pull you off balance. It’s well built, with good pockets, and is an ideal size.
