Best in Test 2012
A really comfortable pack with plenty of space for extra kit on winter day walks. It has flexible, padded hip fins and shoulder straps; and the load is distributed easily across the hips.The suspended mesh back system has padded lumbar support making load carrying comfortable and sweat-free. The main compartment is cavernous, with a zipped panel on the front so you can rummage inside without unloading the lid. There's a really useful expansion pocket on the front, pockets on each hip fin, and mesh pockets on each side. There's also an internal pouch for a hydration system.

A well designed, lightweight pack that makes load-carrying easy
A really comfortable pack with plenty of space for extra kit. It’s got lightweight, flexible and padded hip fins and shoulder straps, and the load is distributed easily across the hips. It’s also got a suspended mesh back system with padded lumbar support so that load-carrying is comfortable and sweat-free. The main compartment is really big, with a zipped panel on the front so you can rummage inside without undoing the lid. There’s also a really useful expansion pocket on the front, and mesh pockets on each hip fin. Comes with a rain cover, but it isn’t connected to the pack – I nearly lost mine in the wind! There’s a pocket for your hydration system, and two large pockets on the lid.

Well featured Z35
Well-featured with airy back system that has a narrow cut to help air move. Compression is good with four straps pulling the load up on to your back. They also help reduce the volume and profile of the pack considerably for lighter days too. Shoulder straps are well-shaped to fit shoulder contours.
