Vango Trail 35 (2013)

£28.00

At just £28 the Vango Trail 35 is by far the lowest-priced rucksack featured in our test, and it’s also lighter than most at just 785g. In terms of features it can’t compete with the highest-priced sacks, because what you’re getting is a very basic rucksack that is devoid of frills. The back system is well-padded and allows good airflow, ...

Salewa Ascent 30 (2013)

£85.00

Salewa gear has been absent from UK shores for a few years but it has now come back, and judging by the Ascent 30 rucksack the brand is well worth closer scrutiny. The pack weighs in at a very respectable 1194g. The Motion Fit back system allows the body to twist, thanks to a flexible frame that also holds the ...

CamelBak Highwire 25 (2013)

£110.00

The CamelBak Highwire 25 comes fitted with a 3 litre hydration system worth £30, so when this is taken into account you’re effectively getting a rucksack for £80. The rucksack has a stiffened panel that allows the sack to sit close to the body and flex, but is stiff enough to resist items of gear bulging into your back. There’s ...

Osprey Talon 33 (2013)

£100.00

At just 870g the Talon 33 is instantly appealing to anyone who wants to travel light, but it also features Osprey’s AirScape back panel, which is covered in mesh to hold the pack away from your back, thus allowing airflow while providing a good degree of stiffness. The shoulder straps and hipbelt are also slotted to allow extra airflow as ...

Deuter ACT Trail 32 (2013)

£90.00

The Deuter ACT Trail 32 and the ACT Trail 28 SL for women (£85) are extremely popular and well-proven, thanks to their robust design, which provides the essential features for the hillwalker. The back panel is stiff enough to allow carefree packing without fear of ‘barrelling’ taking place, while a pair of vertical padded panels holds the sack away from ...

Berghaus Bioflex Light 35 (2013)

£100.00

The Berghaus Bioflex Light 35 features a lighter version of the standard Bioflex system to allow improved freedom of movement via a rotating hipbelt. The back system also has an adjustable back length, which allows the shoulder straps to move up or down on a pair of alloy bars. I did find adjusting the back length a little messy compared ...

Montane Medusa 32 (2013)

£80.00

The Montane Medusa 32 has a moulded back panel that is just about stiff enough to allow easy packing, but I’d like a little more stiffness here so the sack is better able to support its load without distortion. The pack sits close to the back but the moulding does allow some airflow and minimal contact areas so it’s not ...
