Out trusted Berghaus 35+7 rucksacks have been retrieved from the loft, and still being small, they are fine 🙂 Also taking a 20L day-sack (frame removed) that will fit in my rucksack, but removable, so “valuables” will always be with us rather than slung in a hold etc. Some products linked to show what we are on about . (As usual Amazon links pay around 3% commission for any purchases made (no extra cost to you) and treats us to a beer or two. Thanks)
