FJÄLLRÄVEN ABISKO FRILUFT 45 W £185

It’s the practicality, simplicity and rugged reliability of this pack that sets it apart. Made from hardwearing G-1000 Eco, it’s been hauled up and down mountains for years and is still going strong. An aluminium frame and mesh back panel let air circulate and provide stability, with weight saved on the mesh-covered, ergonomic shoulder straps and fixed back.

VERDICT Practical, incredibly tough, comfortable and with all the features I want and none I don’t – for me, this is as close to perfect as a pack gets.
