Normally, they’re much longer than they are wide, which allows them to conform to the shape of your body. That makes them more comfortable, and allows you to move with more freedom up trails and through tight squeezes.
We’re pretty serious at Camping Things, about finding equipment which combines awesome comfort and unbeatable practicality. All of our picks here are 75L or over, and come with a few other neat little features.
Berghaus Men’s Ridgeway Rucksack
‘Huge interior compartment and Berghaus quality.’
Oh, what a handsome thing the Ridgeway is. For an extra-large rucksack with an interior volume of 75L, the Berghaus Men’s Ridgeway Rucksack certainly is good-looking. It’s built to exceptional Berghaus standards, and is a solid investment for regular hikers.
Size and volume
The Ridgeway doesn’t run as long as the other extra-large packs, which is great if you prefer more width, or if you’re a shorter person. As with most of our choices, the Ridgeway is generous with its 75L, opening most of it up the main compartment.
Durability
We’re big fans of Berghaus, and we trust their backpacks to last for years. We use them ourselves at Camping Things, and we love them.
Features
A fold-over rainproof lid keeps the elements out, and there’s space on the front for your walking poles. The top of the pack is a drawstring opening, so no zips. Some people prefer that, others don’t, but we like variety.
Value for money
We always think that Berghaus Men’s Ridgeway Rucksack is value for money. The Ridgeway is a solid invest whatever you’re doing with it.
Best for
Seasoned hikers, long weekends and camping holidays.
