Our objective was to find the very best casual, knock-around styles, in durable materials such as canvas and nylon, suitable for bopping around on the weekend, accommodating impromptu shopping hauls, ferrying stuff to and fro, or staging a picnic
All are comfortable, lightweight and highly weatherproof packs, with even the biggest size, which weve got here, weighing in at just 1.15kg
Reflective material keeps you seen as the days get shorter and the nights start to roll in
Floating or Pivoting Hip Belt A newer feature that were starting to see in some backpacks is the floating or pivoting hip belt system which allows the hip belt to move separately from the pack
If you do, you will need to add another 10 - 15 days to this itinerary for the Antarctica excursion
