Berhaus Freeflow 30 + 6 daypack
30+6L £60.00
Here's a daypack that feels good the moment you slide it on, heavy load or otherwise. Weight distribution is good, padding is comfortable and fit generally spot on. To be honest, I'm still not sold on the concave back systems, although this is one of the better versions tested. Sure, it aids evaporation, but a walking tap like me is always going to work up a bath on a decent walk! I have to say that access to concave daypacks niggles the hell out of me. Anything boxlike - like a small SLR camera bag - presents square-peg-in-round-hole problems. There's actually plenty of room inside down the bottom, despite the illusion otherwise, but I still haven't been won over completely by the concave craze.
