Daysack (up to 39 litres) (59)

Expedition (40 litres +) (25)

Results 1 - 25 of 85

Millets Eurohike Wilderness A

£25.00

Considering this daysack only retails at £25, you get pretty much all the features you would need for a day out on the hill, including a ventilated back system. The front pocket is a great size and will allow easy access to a map, while bellows side pockets allow you to compress both them and the rest of the pack ...

Robens Fairbanks 35 2009

£30.00

The Robens Fairbanks 35 rucksack weighs 1003g; medium back; low price; top pocket plus zip pocket; front bungees; 2 elasticated mesh side pockets; one pole or ice axe loop; simple vented back; black raincover; basic padded hipbelt. But it’s 5 litres undersize at 30 litres so may not be big enough; would benefit from more lid or sack front pockets ...

Blacks Alpine 30+5 (2011)

£35.00

No award-winner but a fairly capable pack for the price. There are a few technical features that you’d expect to find in a decent walking pack, albeit not quite as well executed as on more expensive bags. A padded back system does boost comfort and keep the load tight to your back, but has no venting at all which does ...

Highlander Munro 35 2009

£35.00

The Highlander Munro 35 rucksack has a tested capacity of 36 litres; low price; long back; top lid pocket, black raincover; mesh underside pocket, top bungee; vented back, inside pocket; comfy shoulder straps; large front pocket, daisy chain, 2 large side pockets; less comfy hipbelt; 2 pole end holders, 1 ice axe loop. But it’s the third heaviest at 1534g; ...

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 ...

Euro Hike Hydro 35+5 (2011)

£40.00

One of the cheaper models and as a result doesn’t have the technical features of others. The back system uses simple padding that does keep the load close to your centre of gravity, but doesn’t allow air to circulate and so quickly leads to a sweaty and uncomfortable back. Also it isn’t very well protected and you have to be ...

Gelert Fusion 35 2009

£40.00

The Gelert Fusion 35 rucksack has a tested capacity of 35 litres; long back; simple, top zip and underside pockets; 2 pole or ice axe loops, front bungee, 2 stretch mesh side pockets, vented back, reinforced base, orange rain cover, comfy hipbelt. But it’s heavy at 1903g; would benefit from a front pocket, a narrower women’s fit and contouring on ...

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 Traversa 35 2009

£40.00

The Vango Traversa 35 rucksack has a medium back; comfy shoulder straps; top zip pocket; 2 pole or ice axe loops, front daisy chain, 2 mesh side pockets, comfy hipbelt, removable back stiffener, drawcorded bottom part, red rain cover. But it’s quite heavy at 1351g; undersized by 5 litres at a tested capacity of 30 litres – might not be ...

Regatta RSX135

£40.00

This daysack comes with the usual set of features. It has a nice selection of good-sized pockets making the pack functional on the hill, but without making it too fussy and over-complicated. The side ones will hold a one litre Nalgene bottle, while the front pocket is big enough to allow you to keep your OS map handy. Although the ...

Vango Airvent 35

£45.00

Unusually, this daysack features a snow lock extension for the mouth of the pack along with a compression strap. This is a really useful, important feature and will prevent rain entering even if you overfill it. The ventilated back system has shoulder straps, a chest strap and hipbelt, which all provide basic adjustment and padding where needed. There are fastenings ...

Regatta Adventure Tech 35 (2011)

£50.00

A basic-looking pack with all the usual features you would hope to find on a 35-litre pack, but at a more reasonable price. You get a suspended mesh back system, hydration pack-compatibility, a rain cover and somewhere to store your poles. What does suffer, however, is a little reassurance in the quality stakes. The fabric used does feel noticeably thinner ...

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 ...

Deuter Groden 35

£50.00

This daysack from Deuter comes with the company’s excellent Aircomfort concave back system, which feels both comfy and cool. The shoulder straps are well shaped and have just the right amount of padding, and the hip belt spreads the load well. Although it has a pocket for a hydration reservoir, there’s no outlet or routing for a tube. Otherwise it’s ...

Blacks Roc 35 Air

£50.00

The back system of this daysack is quite adjustable. Both the shoulder and chest straps can be altered to get a more precise fit. The hipbelt offers good padding, inward-pulling adjustment and a purse. The inward-pulling straps make the hipbelt easier to adjust and use. The pack’s main entry comes with a snow lock extension to keep out rain even ...

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 ...

Vaude Triset 35 + 8

£55.00

This daysack from Vaude has adjustable shoulder straps that help it to mould sweetly around your back, and the Aeroflex concave back system is cool and comfortable. You hardly know you’re carrying it, even when full, and the padded waist belt is excellent. This is a roomy pack, but the compression straps make it easy to tighten everything down when ...

This rucksack has a padded back system with airflow chimney; wide hipbelt with pockets; mesh wand pockets; bellows side pockets; compression straps; two zipped front pockets and Velcro front stash pocket; external and internal lid pockets; rain cover; hydration system-compatible. But 1930g is extremely heavy; some have more airflow; do you really need all those pockets?

The North Face Terra 35

£60.00

This daysack from The North Face fits well and you’ll enjoy carrying it. But it needed careful packing when very full, as it is easily pushed out of shape so that the actual back of the pack makes contact with you, rather than the foam padding. The Terra is a good size for weekend trips, and the choice of pockets, ...

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 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 ...
