JACK WOLFSKIN CROSSTRAIL 32 LT £110

This roomy daypack offers plenty of practical features, checking pretty much all the boxes for hillwalking, with its sturdy sprung steel frame, ventilated back panel and comfortable harness. It also boasts handy dual access to the main compartment, plenty of pockets (including an expanding bottle holder on the hipbelt) and hydration system compatibility.

VERDICT A large, lidded daypack with understated looks but plenty of practical storage capacity, generous carrying comfort and solid build quality.
