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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Lowe Alpine Edge 22XL

£40.00

This lower-priced pack from Lowe Alpine may not have a fancy back system or ribbons of straps dangling from the back, but what it does have is a solid build construction along with a clean enough design, making it practical for day-to-day use as well as more outdoor activities. On a recent recent trip to Turkey is was at home ...

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 ...

Eurohike Pathfinder 20

£24.00

This is a pack designed in a classical way. It’s not exactly NASA in its technicality, more straightforward and dependable, and as such not particularly exciting. The fabric used is fairly hard-wearing and will survive a few scrapes without any discernable damage. In wet weather you will need to make sure your kit is waterproofed inside. There is a rain ...

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 ...

Eurohike Air Trek 35

£45.00

There’s a healthy amount of padding on the hips and shoulders of this pack, although it does squash down fairly quickly in use, and can be sweaty. There is also some rather strange lateral padding across the neck, which just gets in the way. Bellows pockets on the side are big enough for a flask or water bottle, but do ...

Eurohike Hydro 35 2010

£40.00

The Eurohike Hydro 35’s simple back system is comfy but not too technical. It’s not too heavy at 880g, but you could strip it down to make a really good lightweight day pack offering great value for money. But its built-in dry bag was awkward to close and seemed to negate the need for the rain cover. The lid pocket ...

Regatta X-ERT 35L 2010

£35.00

The best ‘budget buy’, the Regatta X-ERT 35L (1280g) almost achieves great things: it’s light, perfectly comfy up to a certain load and has an adjustable, ventilated back system. But it has some very eccentric features: most notably the large external pocket with a tiny zipped entrance, two tiny-capacity side pockets and a hidden key stash. Stockists – tel. (0161) ...

Outwell Adventure Tour 2010

£30.00

For general daypack duties the Outwell Adventure Tour offers good value. It feels perfectly stable when on, features a ventilated back system and is pretty light at around 1180g. It has a rain cover, is hydration pack-compatible and features a functional outer pocket. But the lack of articulation in the hip area means others are more comfortable and offer a ...

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 ...

Outwell Hiker rucksack

£27.00

An inexpensive pack and therefore understandably quite basic, but the Hiker still does the job, and is ideal if you tend to stick to shorter, easier walks where all you need is some water and a few snacks. The back system is flimsy and offers limited ventilation, but the harness does a reasonable job with plenty of adjustment where needed. ...

Vaude Triset 25+4

£45.00

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

BERGHAUS W ROAM 30

£45.00

Review: The simple and lightweight harness was nicely soft and flexible, although the shoulder straps were set too far apart. Also the chest strap was rather fiddly. A large and lightweight pack with a simple ‘old school’ design that will really appeal to some. However, it’s already looking quite scuffed so the low weight and price probably come at the ...

EUROHIKE WILDERNESS AIR

£25.00

Review: The concave back system was cool and effective without holding the load too far away from the back, and the straps had all the right adjustment and felt comfortable when done up. Cheap plastic buckles and a slightly flimsy polyester fabric make it obvious that this is a budget-end pack, but it carries well enough, even when full, and ...

The Vaude Triset 25+4 unisex rucksack has a narrow shape and concave back system that are cool and comfy. The Vaude Triset 25+4 hip fins feel lovely, too, even when carrying heavy loads, and the shoulder straps are nicely padded. A light and incredibly stable pack with twin compression straps and a slim profile that really does hug the whole ...
