£0 - £49 | translate:/Global/SiteRating: 2 | Not Yet Reviewed | 1-1.99kg

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 ...

Outwell Cloud 1900 2009

£46.00

Hanwag Ferrata Combi GTX 2008

£15.00

The weight of the Hanwag Ferrata Combi GTX is an immediate attraction as it’s the lightest 4-season boot here. The sole unit is very stiff, making it ideal for mountaineering and use with crampons, as well as via ferrata (as the name suggests). The toe profile also feels very dexterous and ideal for climbing on small footholds. The upper is ...
