Blacks Charge 20+5

£20.00

Features like the headphone collar for your mp3 player make this more of a general use pack, suitable for the daily commute as well as the great outdoors. Some other bits such as the mesh side pockets don’t feel as useful as they could be, not being large enough to hold a water bottle of any kind. There is a ...

Gelert Swerve 25

£20.00

This 25-litre daysack from Gelert is very comfortable to wear, despite its very short back length, with the bulk of the load definitely being directed through the padded cushion that sits on the small of your back. The concave back system works well, and the webbing waist belt looks flimsy but doesn’t feel uncomfortable. With an easy access zipped main ...

Sprayway Stella

£20.00

A tall, slim and lightweight pack that only costs an unbelievable £20. Features are kept to a minimum, although it boasts two pockets in the lid, a zipped pocket inside, and two side mesh pockets that will take a water bottle. The main compartment is long and narrow, with a single-buckle lid and drawcord closure. It’s a nicely styled pack ...

Gelert Summit 25

£25.00

This daysack from Gelert boasts a concave airflow back system – great on a pack of this price – and this one works fairly well, keeping you cool and comfy. It’s quite short though, and sits quite high up your back. It certainly feels stable and stays cool enough due to that airflow back. Compression straps help steady the load ...

Regatta Survivor Access 25L

£25.00

This daysack from Regatta has a shortish back-length, meaning it always feels a bit high up on your back. Other than that, the channelled padding feels cool and comfortable and the harness provides sufficient support. It’s comfortable and stable in action, and the selection of pockets can’t be faulted. However, it isn’t hydration system compatible.

Robens Tacoma 25

£25.00

Low-priced option for those on a budget not looking for too much carrying power. Very small with only limited pockets, which will suit those not demanding too much for their money. Decent concave/mesh back system that is both cool and comfortable, and it also felt quite stable. The walking pole holders leave a bit to be desired, but it is ...

Aztec Airstream

£30.00

This 25-litre daysack from Aztec has a shortish back, yet still feels comfortable on, with useful padding at the top and bottom. The shoulder straps are well padded and nicely contoured, and there’s a fair bit of adjustment, up and down, in the chest strap. The teardrop-shaped Airstream has a zipped main compartment. It feels stable on the back and ...

Eurohike Revolution Aqua

£30.00

Waterproof, courtesy of a fully lined main compartment and lid pocket that comes with roll-up closures, but it does add weight, and makes it fiddlier than most to pack and access. Aside from this, it’s comfortable and stable, and handles big weights extremely well, thanks to well-padded shoulder straps and hip fins. Fitwise, the channelled back is quite short; and ...

Eurohike Revolution Aqua 35

£30.00

This daysack from Eurohike has a padded back that is extremely comfortable at first, but the shallow channels don’t encourage much airflow, so you will get a little hot and sweaty. Overall fit is good though, and the well-padded shoulder straps are good. It’s a stable pack with a single compression strap on each side and a close-fitting back. Well-featured, ...

Regatta X-Cert Lightweight 20L

£30.00

It’s certainly stripped back, with no waist strap, and only a flimsy padded back system for strength and comfort. You have to be careful when loading it to keep soft kit towards your back and you can’t overfill it (which is all too easy to do) otherwise it will sit uncomfortably. There are a couple of mesh side pockets, normally ...

Regatta X-ERT II

£32.00

This comfortable 20-25 litre daysack from Regatta feels great on the shoulders and hugs the top of your hips. The Airstream concave back system works well to keep you cool and dry, and the shoulder straps are heavily padded and well-shaped. The back length is about perfect, and the chest strap offers plenty of adjustment up and down. It’s a ...

Gelert Core 45+10 2008

£35.00

This rucksack has a good adjustable Cool Air back system; lots of padding on back and hipbelt; wand pockets; side compression straps; snow-lock extension; twin main compartments; floating lid with internal and external pockets and stowed rain cover. But 1800g is very heavy; do you need the adjustable back length, base compartment and bellows side pockets that add all this ...

Regatta Survivor Endure 45

£35.00

Yet another good, basic starter 41-50 litre rucksack from Regatta. If you have never been out on the hills but want to start then may I suggest you start with this. All the basic features are provided. The pocket on the front of the pack is a good size and will allow you to access an OS map quickly. You ...

Wynnster Wildcat 25L

£35.00

This 25-litre daysack from Wynnster has a concave airflow back system, which does an excellent job of keeping you cool and dry, and the broad strip of padding at the base feels good against your lower back. The padded waist belt helps spread the load well, and the shoulder straps sit well on your shoulders, too. It’s a spacious pack ...

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 ...

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 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.

Robens Winnipeg 45 2008

£40.00

This rucksack weighs 1500g; adjustable back system with airflow chimney; well-padded back and hipbelt; mesh wand pockets; rain cover in base; hydration system-compatible; external, internal lid pocket; superb price. But some other sacks are lighter or allow more airflow around the back; do you need an adjustable back system on such a small capacity sack?

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 ...
