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 ...

Well-designed, nice looking, and most importantly, very comfortable, this 22L version of the AirZone is perfect for day-walks in the summer when you need less spare clothing.

Gregory Jade 25 rucksack

£80.00

The Jade feels much bigger than its stated 25L capacity, and the zipped main compartment will comfortably swallow everything you’ll need for a typical day-walk. The hip belt and shoulder straps are soft, padded and flexible, making even heavy loads feel comfortable. It comes with double side compression straps, a pouch on the front for bulky items and two spacious ...

The North Face Angstrom 25 rucksack

£75.00

A compact and comfortable pack, the Angstrom’s lightweight harness has enough padding for small loads, and although the back system is quite basic, it does keep the load close to the wearer’s back where it feels most stable. There’s a useful array of pockets, including one on the hip belt, which is perfect for small items like keys; and a ...

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 ...

Vaude Triset 25+4 rucksack

£50.00

This latest Triset incarnation features narrower shoulder straps and a web of shock cord on the front that’s ideal for carrying a wet waterproof. It’s a tall, slim pack, with excellent compression straps that will hold just about any size load securely. And as such it’s best-suited to more energetic walking or even scrambling. It offers incredibly good value for ...

Osprey Stratos 24 rucksack

£75.00

A modern-looking, lightweight pack, the Stratos pushed the best rucksacks hard. The main compartment is accessed via a long zip that offers easy access, but at 22L, it’s one of the smaller packs in this category. The harness is wonderfully comfortable with mesh straps that always felt cool and supportive and an effective concave back system that enabled a good ...

Karrimor Airspace 25 rucksack

£55.00

The Airspace is a neat, good-looking pack with a great back system that feels both cool and very stable. It also has an excellent harness, with well-shaped, breathable mesh straps. Zip-access makes it easy to get kit in and out of the main compartment and the large front pocket is just about big enough for a hat and gloves. Side ...

A great-looking pack, the Airzone is about the perfect size for summer walking and is built from materials that will certainly last.

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 ...

Regatta X-Ert 25L rucksack

£50.00

Quite a big, heavy pack but the X-ert is exceedingly comfortable, courtesy of a well-padded, adjustable harness. It’s well-featured, with useful bellowed side pockets, walking pole attachments, a single pocket in the lid and an easy-to-use single buckle for the main compartment. It has a concealed key pocket and a useful rain cover stowed beneath the main compartment. The back ...

Eurohike Hydra 25+5 rucksack

£30.00

The Hydra features a totally waterproof main compartment which seals with a roll-top in a similar way to a dry bag. This is obviously useful in bad weather, but it’s a bit over the top for general use, adding weight and also making the main compartment fiddly to access. It’s a fairly comfortable pack, with a good channelled back system ...

Golite VO24 rucksack

£70.00

The VO24 is one of the lightest packs tested, but it achieves this by compromising on comfort, making it less functional than most of the packs tested and therefore definitely best-suited to walkers who put weight first. The back system is very flimsy, necessitating careful packing if you’re carrying a flask or any other hard, bulky object, and whilst the ...

Osprey Manta 30 2010

£100.00

The Osprey Manta 30 was the best thing to emerge from the 2009 outdoor kit convention at Friedrichshafen in Germany, according to the Guildford gear shop owner I bump into there every year. He knows a thing or two about kit, so I turned up at the Osprey stand the following day, eager to get my first look at the ...

The foam hip belt and mesh back system are so comfortable this pack feels like its giving you a hug.

Jack Wolfskin Moab Jam 26

£60.00

Very little padding on the harness, but comfortable enough for the small loads it will carry. Plenty of room for adjustment on the chest strap and hip belt and the narrow-set shoulder straps are well designed. The channelled back system keeps loads comfortable and stable. No compression straps and contents will move around when you’re not carrying a full load. ...

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 ...

The North Face Remedy 25

£75.00

The shoulder straps are quite wide, and may feel uncomfortable for women with narrow shoulders. The hip belt has no padding, so will not feel as supportive as some. Roomy main compartment with zipped access and a compression strap on each side to keep contents stable. The mesh back system allows a nice flow of air and sits comfortably. Useful ...

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 – ...

Vaude Triset 25+4

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 ...

Regatta X-Ert 25L

£50.00

A big, bulky pack for 25L, but this makes it excellent when carrying a full and heavy load. The back system is cool and comfortable and in conjunction with double side compression straps, remains stable no matter how full. It’s a well-made pack, with a good range of pockets and there’s plenty of adjustment in the harness. Good rain cover ...

Vango Airvent 25l

£45.00

Comfortable, well-built and bristling with features including a great selection of pockets, a rain cover, and a cool and stable back system. It carried a large load well but struggled a little with smaller ones, as there’s no compression straps to prevent heavier items moving around. Hydration system-compatible, but the port for the hose is so small that it’s necessary ...

Berghaus Remote 25

£40.00

A flimsy, low-cost pack that is better-suited to casual use or travel. The channelled back has no reinforcement so doesn’t distribute loads very well and doesn’t protect the back from hard or sharp objects. Works well when only lightly loaded – courtesy of useful side compression straps – but struggles with a full and heavy load. The main opening is ...

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 ...
