About this deal

Hyperlite', as far as I'm aware, is just a generic name used by Lowe Alpine for their range of lightweight Dyneema rucksacks - it never occurred to me that it might be misconstrued as meaning 'ultralight', which these rucksacks clearly are not! Product News at UKC presents climbing, walking and mountaineering equipment posts that will be of interest to our readers.

The vast main compartment is guarded be a lockable tamper-proof zip, under the lid is a mesh organiser pocket for those things you what to keep within easy reach and there are internal load compression straps to stop things from shifting about. All refunds will be given as soon as possible, at the latest within 30 days, taking into account the original method of payment. I've used LA bags for years and, although not perhaps the lightest, they have served me well and I feel a certain amount of brand loyalty towards them (as much loyalty as I have for any one manufacturer). Compression straps featuring Lowe Alpine’s brilliant LoadLocker buckles and a tamper-proof, lockable zip keep the bag securely closed and your belongings safe and secure.Note: Whilst the rucksack was provided by Webtogs, this review, over which I have total editorial control, is totally independent of that on-line retailer. It accompanied me across the GR10 route in the Pyrenees for two months in 2013, and it will shortly embark on its fourth TGO Challenge - a two week backpack across Scotland. Note that on 5 September 2012, Webtogs Limited went into liquidation, but its business has legitimately been continued in the name of Dorset Mountain Sports Limited, t/a Webtogs, with whom I have had no contact whatsoever, nor did the liquidator of Webtogs Ltd respond to my enquiry as to whether any members of the public had lost money as a result of the liquidation.

With over 50 years of experience designing world-class carry systems, Lowe Alpine has created a range of adventure backpacks for men and women. I too found the straps really comfy, but also found the handles great as the pure webbing ones dig in after a while! K2 Base Camp acknowledges the Turrbal and Jagera people, the Traditional Owners of the lands and waters of Meanjin. I have used it on an overnight backpacking trip (pictured above – not very well packed, and I lowered it a little after the pictures had been taken), for which it was perfect.The design keeps seams to a minimum too so your belongings should stay dry in anything less than a flash flood. Our back packs are designed to be used all around the world in some of the most challenging environments.

So when I got the chance to try out their new duffle, the 90l AT Kit Bag, I was keen to see how it fared on my upcoming trip to northern India. Other features include extra external lashing points, large stretch side pockets, an SOS panel, ‘unique’ walking pole tip grabbers for secure storage, reflective logos, hydration pocket, and a ventilating harness. Made so by constructing it out of a combination of our most abrasion resistant fabrics - TravelShield Grid and N630 and by using minimal seams for increased durability and improved water resistance. Update - it wasn't used for the TGO Challenge, I decided on a Karrimat rather than Neoair Thermarest, so the Karrimor Jaguar 65 was a more suitable container.Despite being let down by the stitching fault on one of the side handles, the bag endured biblical levels of rainfall with only minimal seepage.
