OSPREY STRATOS 34 £110

Hot because: This pack has been created for hot hikes or warm-weather walks. The suspended mesh on the adjustable back system maximises breathability and ventilation while maintaining plenty of support and comfort. Standard features, such as a hydration bladder pocket and detachable rain cover, are all there, along with unique Osprey features like the Stow-on-the-Go trekking pole attachment. The 34 litre pack is only available in the men’s Stratos model, but the 24, 26, 36 and 50 litre capacities can also be found in the women’s Sirrus. We say: A feature-packed rucksack that helps keep sweaty backs at bay. www.ospreyeurope.com
