Eurohike Hydra 25+5 rucksack

£30.00

LFTO rating
Owners' rating

The Hydra features a totally waterproof main compartment which seals with a roll-top in a similar way to a dry bag. This is obviously useful in bad weather, but it’s a bit over the top for general use, adding weight and also making the main compartment fiddly to access. It’s a fairly comfortable pack, with a good channelled back system and well-padded straps, and it has a decent selection of pockets too – although these aren’t waterproof. A rain cover is also supplied.

I might not be an expert but have found this bag to better than any other in this price range that I have used. Not so heavy and well shaped so that the contents do not affect the shape and balance. I often take out a large camera on walks and most bags end up sagging in the bottom with its weight and/or digging into my back, not so with this bag. Its' done over 20 miles thus far but no rain (might get that today), and has done me well.
