Berghaus Roam 30 2009

£45.00

The Berghaus Roam 30’s price of £45 is great value for a comfortable rucksack with ample day walk features. The Roam is also available in both men and women-specific fits (most sacks we looked at are ‘unisex’.) It fits medium-sized backs, and the women’s version has comfy, contoured shoulder straps for a women’s narrower top half. The fabric is robust, ...

Berghaus Women’s Freeflow III

£45.00

This 25-litre daysack from Berghaus uses the Freeflow concave back system, which is very comfortable and keeps you cool, even with a full load. We liked the dedicated women’s harness with its close-fitting, soft and narrow shoulder straps, and padded hip belt. A roomy main compartment and drawcord opening make the Freeflow easy to pack, and there are plenty of ...

inov-8 Race Pro 30 rucksack (2008)

£55.00

ReviewThis ultralight rucksack is very light at just 590g, making it the lightest 30 litre sack featured. But most importantly it can be fitted with the inov-8 Horizontal Bladder system, which fits into a pocket inside the lumbar and hipbelt area. This means the bladder can be easily filled without unpacking the sack, and the weight of the water is ...

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 ...

Lowe Alpine Mintaka Air ND35

£55.00

This daysack from Lowe Alpine has a comfortable back system with a decent amount of padding and good lumbar support. The nicely contoured shoulder straps are good, too. Bigger busted women may not find the chest strap long enough. The Pure Air Zone back system creates a good flow of air without feeling unstable. However, this pack doesn’t have any ...

Osprey Talon 22

£60.00

This is a contemporary looking pack that seems bigger than its quoted 22L and certainly swallowed a full day’s high-mountain walking inventory without any problems. It’s very light, mainly due to the Airscape back system, which looks basic but is actually very effective; spreading heavy loads well and keeping the back surprisingly cool. The zipped main opening is huge – ...

Berghaus W Freeflow 30+6

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 ...

Deuter Futura 24 SL

£60.00

The Deuter Futura 24 SL women's rucksack is a superbly comfortable back system and hip belt. We really like the Deuter Futura 24 SL's ‘pull forward’ waist belt and the extra padding on the lumbar support and shoulder straps. A stable and cooling back system remains comfortable even with a heavy load. Plenty of scope for organising stuff with eight ...

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 ...

Deuter Futura 34 AC SL

£65.00

This daysack is a good-quality, easy-to-use all-rounder. It is usefully split into two sections by a zip-out divide allowing equipment packed at the bottom to be accessed easily by a large zip opening at the base. You get both a walking pole and ice axe attachments, a detachable rain cover, hydration housing and an idiot’s guide to being rescued. All ...

Deuter Act Trail SL20 rucksack

£65.00

It doesn’t get much better than this. Nicely padded shoulder straps make load carrying comfortable, and although the hip fins aren’t padded, the flexible mesh design is incredibly comfortable. The hip belt adjusts by pulling the straps forward, a system which makes it really easy to get a secure, snug fit, while the back system uses an effective channelling system ...

Deuter Act Trail 28 SL

£70.00

Incredibly comfortable, even when fully loaded. The shoulder straps are narrow, close-set and perfectly shaped to fit round the bust, and the well-padded hip fins move as you walk. There’s plenty of length in the chest strap and hip belt. Back system allows a decent flow of air, and maximum comfort and stability. Double compression straps keep contents secure. It’s ...

Osprey Mutant 38 rucksack 2008

£70.00

Some rucksacks look nice but are totally impractical on the hill. Others are superb on the hill but look like they were sketched out on a fag packet and knocked up in a garden shed. So when it comes to designing a great rucksack there’s plenty that can go wrong – and it often does! Thankfully there are some brands ...

Osprey Sirrus 24

£70.00

The Sirrus is a great-looking pack with load-carrying comfort that’s hard to beat. The main compartment feels really large for a pack of this size, and is accessed via a long zip that makes it really easy to rummage around inside it. The harness is wonderfully secure, with padded mesh straps that always feel cool and comfortable, and an incredibly ...

LOWE ALPINE AIRZONE CENTRO 35

£70.00

Review: The back system is cool and stable and the harness is just about perfect, with cool and well-ventilated shoulder straps that spread the load nicely. The hip fins are wonderfully comfortable and effective. Adjustable back lengths mean this pack should accommodate most walkers. Not the biggest pack, although plenty big enough for weekend or winter walks, and this makes ...

Lowe Alpine Airzone Centro ND35

£70.00

This rucksack has a cool AirZone back system which is exceptionally comfortable. We love the minimal, but well-placed, padding on the hip fins and shoulder straps. The adjustable back system allows a perfect fit. Despite the lightweight harness, it carries heavy loads just as effectively as more padded models, with fantastic freedom of movement. Lots of very useful pockets. ...

This daysack from Deuter is perfect! It’s just the right size for your back and the padding either side of the deep ventilation channel feels great, spreading the load with just the right amount of contact.

Osprey Stratos 32

£75.00

This daysack from Osprey has the excellent AirCore concave back system, which does a great job of minimising contact with your back, yet still feels supportive. The shoulder straps and hip belt also have just the right amount of padding for a pack of this size. Although only 32 litres, it will easily swallow your kit. Light and well-built, it ...

Black Diamond Speed 40 2008

£80.00

A simple rucksack that’s been primarily designed for mountaineers, but hill-walkers will benefit from its no-frills design. At just 1205g it is ideal for lightweight backpacking as well as day trips. The back system is a simple padded affair that is great for scrambling or walking. There is enough padding to make bigger loads comfortable too. I also like the ...

Deuter Act Trail 32

£80.00

The channeled back system here helps to keep the pack sitting snugly against your back whilst still allowing air to flow. In fact it’s not noticeably warmer than many of the mesh models, and has the added benefit of great stability.Rear-entry zip is a joy to use, allowing easy access to deep-buried kit without having to empty your pack, whilst ...

The North Face Alteo 25

£80.00

A great looking pack with lightweight yet tough ripstop fabric and a big bouncy trampoline of a back system. From behind it looks a little squat, with fairly broad shoulders, but once loaded up on your back it feels fine and stays secure without hanging too far off. The back system is one of the best at keeping the air ...

Deuter Spectro AC24 rucksack

£80.00

An almost perfect compromise between weight and comfort, the Spectro is difficult to fault. The Aircomfort concave back system is cool, and the shoulder straps and waist straps are well-padded yet extremely breathable. The main compartment can be accessed via the traditional lid and drawcord or by a zip on the front, making it easy to get to stuff stowed ...

The North Face Terra 30 2009

£80.00

The The North Face Terra 30 is a stable, indestructible rucksack with all the features a hill-walker needs. Although second heaviest in the test at 1756g, it still wins. If you take out the 316g back stiffener and 85g rain cover, it weighs 1355g, which isn’t bad for a bombproof bag with 36 litres of space, extra comfy hipbelt, unobtrusive ...

If you were looking for one pack to cover everything from day walks to multi-day trips, you wouldn’t go far wrong with the Lightwave Fastpack 40. At just 1160g it’s light enough to warrant its name and it has sufficient capacity to swallow overnight gear and let you carry it in comfort. The material used here is lighter than others ...
