Lowe Alpine Cholatse ND50-55L £155

The smaller version of this pack won Tester’s Choice in our large rucksack test last month; here’s its slightly bigger sister (with equivalent brother for men) to show that the quality continues through the range. Again it features the AirContour+ carry system, which is an absolute pleasure to wear, and ensures that comfort, fit and stability are all exceptional. rab.equipment/eu
