Hiking Reviews

I've taken this premium pack all across the world, and I can't think of one I like better for long treks and fast overnights

Rab's Nitron 25L pack is a comfortable, lightweight companion for storing your kit

I shoulder the 40L Wandrd Carryall Duffel and discover a thoughtfully designed bag that’s ideal for travel and great for outdoor use too

A highly unusual minimalist mountain-orientated midlayer

We head into the backcountry in Salomon’s Mountain Flex Insulated Hooded Jacket to test out its advanced breathable insulation against the Welsh weather gods

Going haul in: we shoulder Highlander’s rugged 65-liter Hauler Duffel to see how it copes in the hills

We take to the trails in Aku’s Omnia V-light GTX hiker, an all-purpose shoe designed with sustainability in mind

We load up Fjällräven’s 50-liter Färden Duffel and hit the roads and trails to discover a beautifully designed travel pack

We shoulder the Salomon Aerotrek 30 daypack, putting this hiking pack through its paces in the backcountry
