Gregory Savant 48 (2012)

£110.00

Forming part of Gregory’s All Mountain series, the Savant 48 is designed for overnight trips, trekking and general mountain use. The back system is a moulded panel with a mesh covering to allow some airflow across the back, and it is arguably the most comfortable back system here. On the back it feels stable too, although it does not provide ...

Osprey Talon 44 (2012)

£100.00

Osprey’s Talon range has become extremely popular in recent years. The Talon 44 has a moulded back panel with a mesh covering to provide good airflow, and the hipbelt and shoulder straps are also perforated to reduce weight and condensation build-up. This all adds up to a very stable and comfortable carry. The body of the sack has one main ...

Lightwave Fastpack 50 (2012)

£115.00

Lightwave’s Fastpack range of rucksacks is designed for winter trips or lightweight weekend backpacking trips, and they benefit from being much lighter than the average 50 litre rucksack (this is 1162g). Also when compared to other 50 litre packs they are larger too, so you may actually feel the Fastpack 40 is big enough for your needs at just £100 ...

Lowe Alpine Alpine Attack 45:55 (2012)

£140.00

As the name suggests, the Lowe Alpine Alpine Attack 45:55 is very much directed toward the mountaineering end of the spectrum, but it is also great for more technical hillwalks, scrambles and winter mountain walking. It uses a new material that is more durable than previous Lowe Alpine fabrics and so it should withstand scrapes on rock better than most. ...

Fjällräven Funas 45 (2012)

£120.00

The Fjällräven Funas 45 has a simplified design that is at home when hillwalking or packing for lighter overnight trips. It has a padded back system with moulded channels to increase airflow across the back, and this makes this sack better suited to walking than more mountaineering-orientated designs. The back system is very comfortable against the body, although the higher-priced ...

Kathmandu Altai Pack V2 (2012)

£120.00

The Kathmandu Altai Pack V2 is a nice, clutter-free pack with a narrow profile to make it ideal for scrambling or mountaineering, but it is also comfortable enough for more general hill and mountain walks and lightweight overnight trips. The back system is a padded design with raised areas to allow a little more airflow across the back. This is ...

Karrimor Alpinist 45+10 (2012)

£110.00

The Karrimor Alpinist has been a classic pack since the 1980s, but not all incarnations of the model have been as good as the original. However this 2012 version is superb. At 1404g the Alpinist 45+10 is slightly heavier than some sacks, but it is a more durable design with a nice set of tough features that make it ideal ...

Berghaus Bioflex 45 (2012)

£140.00

Berghaus has been developing the Bioflex back system for a few years now and for 2012 the system has been revamped to be lighter, but this sack is still on the heavy side at 1620g. However, according to Berghaus the Bioflex system reduces stress, strain and fatigue – so it is possible that this will compensate for the extra weight. ...

Deuter ACT Trail 32 (2012)

£90.00

The ACT Trail range from Deuter are well-established packs that give a close and comfortable fit. This 32 litre version is designed for men, with the women’s equivalent being a 28 litre version at £85. The back system is well-padded with an air chimney to prevent it feeling too sweaty. The body of the sack is a little unusual with ...

Berghaus Freeflow 30+6 (2012)

£85.00

The Freeflow has been a Berghaus classic for many years, but for 2012 it has a new adjustable back system. This features a sprung mesh layer that holds the pack away from the wearer but unlike the older version, which had an excessively curved back panel, this new system does not impact on the shape of the main compartment, so ...

If you want your gear to last then Macpac can be relied upon to provide durable kit that will just keep on going. The Macpac Torlesse 35 EU is made from 630 denier nylon with 1260 denier nylon on the base and just by handling this rucksack you can tell it is not going to wear out as easily as ...

Osprey Stratos 34 (2012)

£85.00

Osprey packs are best known for their incredible levels of comfort, and the Stratos is no exception. Throw this pack on and you get great airflow from the AirSpeed back system, which means you don’t feel too sweaty. But the pack also fits closely and really hugs the body, making this a very stable carry too. In terms of comfort ...

Vaude Brenta 30 (2012)

£85.00

The Vaude Brenta 30 has an Aeroflex back system, which holds the pack away from the wearer to increase airflow and thereby reduce that horrible clammy feeling. But what’s particularly interesting is that the back system can be adjusted to increase the curvature of the pack, thus increasing the airflow, or decrease the curvature of the back to reduce airflow ...

Snugpak Ionosphere (2012)

£130.00

There are fewer differences today between small tents and poled bivvy bags, but the Snugpak Ionosphere sits at the tent end of the scale, thanks to its use of a two-pole design that requires that the inner is pitched first before the outer is draped over the top. Its low profile and robust design rebuff wind and rain well, but ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 – ...

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 ...

Deuter ACT Lite 45+10 (2012)

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 ...

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 ...

Karrimor Lynx (2012)

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. ...

Ortlieb Duffel Bag 60 (2012)

The Ortlieb Duffel Bag is an inventively designed waterproof duffel that comes in 85 litre and 110 litre versions, but the 60 litre example should be big enough for the average hillwalker. The main benefit of the waterproof construction is that it can be used for kayaking expeditions – particularly popular on the west coast of Scotland – and could ...

The Berghaus Mule 40+20 Expandable Kit Bag is the least technical-looking of the bags on test, yet it is able to expand in capacity by 20 litres, making it a particularly versatile choice. It could comfortably function as a hillwalking tool or as a general-purpose bag for travel, gym clothes or work use. The Ardura fabric construction is more supple ...
