Haglöfs Sumo 75 2009

£225.00

Replacing Haglöfs’ Topo 75 in 2009 is the slightly lighter Sumo 75 – a big, sturdy pack designed for expedition usage, but at 3.13kg, it’s not the lightest. It has zipped access to the main compartment, as well as a curious but very effective funnel opening on the base. DesignThe Sumo has a big feel to it. The back length ...

Kelty Kids Adventure

£170.00

My youngest, Charlie, loves this carrier – and so do I because it is superbly comfortable for both of us. The fantastic sun/rain cover fastens securely to the main carrier and it means he won’t get sunburnt. And it’s easily adjustable so as he grows the pack will grow with him. The back system is stupendously comfortable and the broad ...

Deuter Kid Comfort III

£150.00

There’s no mistaking the German engineering that’s gone into this pack. It’s the child carrier version of a Mercedes or BMW: a luxurious ride in a meticulously designed pack that’s taken every effort to ensure your offspring’s comfort. There’s even a convertible-style, fold-back sunhood that zips out of the headrest. It’s the easiest of all the packs to get your ...

Wild Country Trisar

£190.00

The Trisar was discontinued several years ago but was brought back under the new Wild Country banner for 2005. It is 3-pole geodesic design, so it is very stable and very spacious. It is pitched inner-first with ...

Wild Country Trisar

£190.00

This two-person tent from Wild Country is heavy but tough, and still well within the sort of weight two people would want to carry. It goes up remarkably easily (inner-first), and, due to the parallel sides, is big enough to move around in without collisions with your companion. There’s a decent-sized porch, too.
