Deuter Freescape Lite 26 £150

Deuter call this a pack for ‘ski mountaineers’ (much more of a thing in Deuter’s Alpine homeland than it is here), but it works just as well as a high-spec option for fast hikers in Blighty. Good for those who like to customise, with clips and daisy chains to hook and hang whatever you like on them. Probably won’t rival the Futura or Trail ranges for most walkers, but a fine option for fast-and-light fans. deutergb.co.uk
