Native Planet Guide 45 2008

£55.00

LFTO rating
Owners' rating

This rucksack has a padded back system with airflow chimney; wide hipbelt with pockets; mesh wand pockets; bellows side pockets; compression straps; two zipped front pockets and Velcro front stash pocket; external and internal lid pockets; rain cover; hydration system-compatible. But 1930g is extremely heavy; some have more airflow; do you really need all those pockets?

Verdict
A good-value sack, fine for big loads, but very heavy.
