Mammut Hera Element 40+ (2012)

£125.00

The Mammut Hera Element 40+ (as you might imagine) boasts a capacity of 40+ litres, but accommodates a generous amount of kit with room to spare, so it’s good for trips of several days. The rucksack has two compartments, one of which can be zipped away to create a single space, and large tags on the lower zips are perfect ...

Karrimor Lynx (2012)

£135.00

Traditionally when you needed a durable and roomy backpack you would automatically go for a Karrimor – and those characteristics still apply today, with the Lynx offering plenty of space for all your camping gear (and a fair bit more), a fantastically bombproof fabric and a build that’s certain to withstand everything you (and perhaps baggage handlers) throw at it. ...

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 – ...

Mountain Hardwear Wandrin 48 (2012)

£130.00

The Mountain Hardwear Wandrin 48 is a rucksack that holds a surprising amount of kit within its two compartments. Long zip tags make it easy to open the lower one, and this can be opened up inside (thanks to a zip) to make one compartment if preferred. An oddly placed rain cover in the top half of the lower compartment ...

Deuter ACT Lite 45+10 (2012)

£120.00

Let’s ignore the (removable) flower that singles this out as the woman’s version of the Deuter ACT Lite 45+10 and focus on the basics. Two compartments make this a good backpacking sack as you can zip the items you won’t need till the evening away from your walking staples. If you don’t want the feature, it’s easily unzipped to create ...

Lowe Alpine Nanon ND 50:60 (2012)

£135.00

Though the Lowe Alpine Nanon ND 50:60 only has a single main compartment (as opposed to two) it certainly makes up for it with a massive front section that can take a whole wedge of extra kit if required. With two stretchy side panels and adjustable straps to make it go even further, it’s the perfect space to cram your ...

Kathmandu Voltai (2012)

£100.00

As the lightest and cheapest of the rucksacks in our test, compromises have had to be made. In the case of the Kathmandu Voltai it’s that there’s only one back length available and it isn’t adjustable – so it will either fit you or it won’t! Also there is only one main compartment, rather than two found on others, and ...

Osprey Aura 50 (2012)

£120.00

At first glance the Osprey Aura 50 appears to be crammed with clips, straps and attachment loops – and it is! There is an impressive six external pockets and Osprey’s patented Stow on the Go trekking pole attachment system, which allows you to keep your poles slotted to your left side for easy access. This is useful in theory when ...

Gregory Jade 35 (2011)

£94.00

A really comfortable pack with plenty of space for extra kit. It’s got lightweight, flexible and padded hip fins and shoulder straps, and the load is distributed easily across the hips. It’s also got a suspended mesh back system with padded lumbar support so that load-carrying is comfortable and sweat-free. The main compartment is really big, with a zipped panel ...

Rohan Stravaig 35 (2011)

£85.00

A less-ventilated pack than some, with a channelled back rather than suspended mesh. The benefit of a channelled back system is that it keeps the load very close to your centre of gravity so that even heavy loads feel stable. The obvious downside is that you don’t get the airflow offered by suspended mesh back systems. There’s plenty of padding ...

Lowe Alpine Airzone Centro ND35 (2011)

£100.00

A classic walking pack that’s durable, comfortable, and carries loads with ease. There’s slightly less room in the main compartment than some, but there’s a large expansion pocket on the front (perfect for carrying waterproofs), and a really useful zip pocket for storing kit you want quick access to. The lid pockets are on the small side, though. It’s got ...

Deuter Futura Pro 34 SL (2011)

£100.00

Lots of padding on the hip fins and shoulder straps means the Futura Pro really excels at carrying lots of heavy winter kit. On the downside, it actually makes the pack quite heavy in itself. However, the hip fins and lumbar support hug the hips beautifully, keeping the load stable, comfortable, and distributed evenly across the hips. Pull-forward adjustment allows ...

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 ...

Osprey Aura 35 (2011)

£100.00

One of the most comfortable women’s daypacks around, with a soft mesh hip belt and nicely rounded shoulder straps. The lightweight frame provides excellent load-carrying support, and the suspended mesh back system stops you getting sweaty. Inside, this pack is cavernous, with plenty of space for everything you’ll need on a long winter walk. The main compartment has a wide, ...

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 Active ND25

£60.00

A fantastic walking pack that’s the perfect size for summer day-walks. The zip-access main compartment is pretty big for a pack of this size, and there are plenty of pockets for storing items you’ll need access to quickly. It’s got a lightweight, women-specific harness with just the right amount of padding for carrying small loads. It’s hard to fault the ...

Vaude Jura 24

£60.00

The Vaude is a smart, traditional-looking pack, with a single-buckle lid closure and a cavernous main compartment. Kit separation is simple, with a large pocket on the lid and expansion pockets on each side – ideal for hats, gloves, snacks and water bottles. Features are kept to a minimum, although it has got two walking pole attachments and a rain ...

Jack Wolfskin Montrose 24

£60.00

A nifty little pack that works as well for a commute to the office as it does in the hills. The main compartment is split into two, although if you’d rather keep things simple you can remove the divider and have one large compartment instead. The front pocket has many different organiser options inside, which is almost too fussy for ...

Gregory Miwok 22

£70.00

A decent-sized 22L pack with enough space for everything you’ll need on a short day-walk. The zipped main compartment is easy to access, and there’s also a large front pocket, external stash pocket, mesh side pockets and two waistbelt pockets. A handy side-access zip runs the whole length of the back system – a great way of reaching something buried ...

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 ...

Lowe Alpine Airzone ND32

£65.00

Although designed for women, it is best-suited to more petite ladies, with its shorter back and overall shape. The shoulder straps are a lot thinner than those on the men’s variant and can dig in when the pack is loaded. The hip straps are great, with the split design helping to grip. The back system is excellent, with its light ...

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 ...

Osprey Stratos 36

£85.00

An incredibly well-thought-out pack, with pretty much all the features that you could ever need. Mesh back system is breezy without being so curved that it restricts capacity, or being too rigid to restrict movement. The shoulder padding is particularly pleasant, with enough padding without adding too much bulk, and the hip pads grip and support perfectly. The 36-litre capacity ...

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 ...

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 ...
