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 – ...

Osprey Mutant 38 rucksack 2008

£70.00

Some rucksacks look nice but are totally impractical on the hill. Others are superb on the hill but look like they were sketched out on a fag packet and knocked up in a garden shed. So when it comes to designing a great rucksack there’s plenty that can go wrong – and it often does!  Thankfully there are some brands ...

Osprey Aether 70 / Ariel 65

£130.00

This backpacking rucksack can be used for a wide variety of loads and still maintain great performance. At 2070g it’s lighter than most. I liked the unique compression system that allows the front to be compressed, making the sack very stable even when only half full. I also liked the stretch pockets and stretch wand pockets. Side compression straps with ...

Osprey Kestrel 38

£75.00

This Kestrel rucksack is a long pack with a unique back system – a large pad of ridged foam with a central channel. It fits well and feels cool and comfortable. Very comfy hip fins, too. It’s a little large for average winter/weekend use and rather over-engineered for the purpose, too. But it’s well-featured and we liked the unique hydration ...

Osprey Aura 50L

£120.00

This 41-50 litre pack has all the required features for a good day on the hill and as usual they are all presented in Osprey’s unique style. The stretchy pocket on the front makes for easy stowing of excess pieces of clothing, while the two front pockets on either side are a great size. The lid also comes with an ...

Osprey Aether 70/Ariel 65

£130.00

This backpacking rucksack, which comes in men’s and women’s styles, hits a completely different user to other ‘sacks in its class as it can be used for a wide variety of loads and still maintain a great performance. Firstly, check the weight. At 2070g it’s very light for a 70 litre ‘sack. But of further interest is the unique compression ...

Osprey Stratos 24

£60.00

This daysack from Osprey benefits from a long, slim shape, and the Aircore concave back system feels incredibly comfortable, no matter what the load. Excellent padding on the hips and shoulder straps. It seems huge for its claimed 24 litres, and is really easy to pack due to the long main compartment zip. The pockets aren’t quite as good as ...

Osprey Stratos 32

£75.00

This daysack from Osprey has the excellent AirCore concave back system, which does a great job of minimising contact with your back, yet still feels supportive. The shoulder straps and hip belt also have just the right amount of padding for a pack of this size. Although only 32 litres, it will easily swallow your kit. Light and well-built, it ...
