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. I also note that there’s an ‘XL’ version for people with long backs, though Lowe Alpine don’t seem to say how long your back needs to be to require this version. At approximately 1400 gm the Nanon is perhaps slightly lighter than the Quest, and it is more compact, topping out at about 60 litres capacity compared with the Quest’s 72 litres. Whether you’re carrying heavy loads over long distances, exploring trails close to home, or travelling half-way round the world, we’ll get you packed for the adventure. The outer of the lid holds a concealed zipper pocket which also hides the stashable shoulder straps that pop out and hook onto the lower webbing attachment loops.

An expedition pack primarily designed for mountaineering in big overseas environments, the Mutant Nimsdai 90 is also a good choice for multi-day mountain and backpacking adventures here in the UK, says John McKenna.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. When you've spent months planning a trip to a remote place you need to know that your gear will arrive safely and without incident. We’ve added a comfortable stashable harness, aluminium handles and our quick release ‘LoadLocker’ buckles to ensure the carry is great and the contents of your luggage remain safe at all times.

Made from a combination of TravelShield® and N630 fabrics, the Kit Bag is built to withstand the harshest terrain.

The Fair Wear Foundation is a clothing industry specific, non-profit organization that ensures sustainable, fair and safe labour conditions in factories. I still think its an excellent piece of kit, though I have heard complaints from people taller than my 5 ft 8 inches - they say the back length of the sac is insufficient lengthwise, so they have sought alternative products. I find that comfort is usually good (which is always top of my list when considering a rucksack) and the features well thought out - although some real minimalist users might find them overdone on that front, I like a few whistle and bells if they add to the experience, and in LA's case they often do.

Established in 1967, Lowe Alpine has a reputation for making high quality and long lasting climbing packs, backpacks, and travel bags. Keeping your items secure and organised compression straps have been used, stopping movement and making everything easy to find. For those wanting a slightly lighter alternative, the Zepton rucksack, which is very similar to the Nanon but lacks some of the Nanon's 'bells and whistles' comes highly recommended by the staff at Webtogs, so Gareth tells me.

Our supplier will submit a report to us and from that we will determine whether the item should be refunded, replaced or professionally repaired. The buckles are designed such that it’s difficult to access the contents of the bag quickly, presumably with the benefit of deterring potential thieves. It has an extensive list of snazzy sounding features such as stashable shoulder straps; aluminium encased grips; internal compression straps; an internal pocket; two external pockets; and tamper proof zips. One minor complaint I have concerns the external compression straps, of which there are four (one at each corner). I’m very lucky in that over the past year or so Webtogs have been sending me useful items of kit to review.
