Berghaus Freeflow III

£45.00

LFTO rating rating is 4
Owners' rating rating is 3.5

This 25-litre daysack from Berghaus uses the Freeflow back system, which is very comfortable. It’s a good length, and the padded contact points are perfectly placed. The shoulder straps are heavily padded and well shaped, and the waist belt sits sweetly on your hips, bearing much of the load. The single buckle main compartment is roomy enough for a generous inventory, and the side and lid pockets will hold a fair bit, too. It could do with compression straps when it’s not packed to the gunnels, though. The only other concern is that the deep concave back system holds the load a fair way from your back.

Verdict: An excellent, well-made rucksack that will give years of loyal service. It loses out only on stability, especially when it’s not full, where compression straps would help.

Main compartment: Drawcord/lid with single buckle

Back system: Freeflow III (concave)

    This is my main pack during the summer months and, for the most part, performs well. The Freeflow back system sits a little too far away for my liking although it does cut down well on sweat only to be let down by the cheap foam used in the shoulder straps which seems to absorb sweat like a sponge. Plenty of pockets including one on the top of the lid, one on the back of the lid (containing a raincover) and one inside the lid. There are also two large, deep pockets - one either side of the main body. Compression straps and/or better gear attachments for poles etc would be nice. If you can get this at a bargain price (which you can with most Berghaus gear) then it's not a bad pack for the money. David
