Finance is provided by PayPal Credit (a trading name of PayPal UK Ltd, Whittaker House, Whittaker Avenue, Richmond-Upon-Thames, Surrey, United Kingdom, TW9 1EH). The padding has a nice firmness, while the sculpted straps and belt hug the body closely, without restricting arm movement.

Versatility without compromise is central to the Azote 32 making it one of the most functional, go-anywhere, do-anything packs for the core outdoor user on long mountain days or minimalist overnight adventures . There may be exceptions, but in general by the time you get up around this sort of capacity it can be good to have some structure within the back of a pack. It is harness compatible, which will mean that you can attach the harness to the outside rather than taking up space within the bag.For me, the back system simply feels too floppy to support the larger capacity and lidded design, whereas with the smaller zipped alternative I can see that same softness proving to be an asset rather than a drawback. With the Azote 32 my big issue as that the back system feels too minimal for the size of pack, with no frame sheet or wire to add shape and support. On the plus side this is one of the coolest and best-ventilated packs I've used, with plenty of cut-outs in the foam cushioning on the back and soulder straps, and all points that come in contact with the wearer covered with light, airy mesh.

A grownup-standard backpacking pack, reduced in scale to fit a child's frame, the Fox has proved a huge hit with the junior review team. We tested the bag over summer and autumn, both here in the UK and on a trip to the Ecrins, and were suitably impressed.

The 100 denier ripstop nylon fabric that most of the pack is made from feels both light and tough, and build quality seems good. With no firmness at the top of the back, just soft foam, the lid has a tendency to droop forwards if you're storing anything remotely heavy there.

In the larger size 32 version, the latter is a deal breaker for me, though other users - probably a fair bit smaller than me - might get on with it. Worse is that the pack also feels saggy on the shoulders, tending to slump backwards - an effect that naturally seems more marked when the back length is extended, though Pegs noticed it at a shorter length too. Using simple but sturdy Velcro pads, the back length can be quickly altered from Small to Large, a range of about 10cm. Aimed at those looking for a minimalist yet durable pack for mountain and alpine trips, the Core 35 prioritises functionality over unnecessary features. While it's possible to remove the lid to save a bit of weight, I don't think this pack really lends itself to the minimalist approach since you can't also remove the hip belt.Clearly the Azote isn't going to be ideal for anyone XL or above, and if you're much taller than me then you might well want to think about larger alternatives. Built To Send have created a surprisingly simple piece of equipment, but one made from the highest quality materials, and with a level of care and deliberation that sets it apart" says Toby Archer. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Inside the backpack, there is a large amount of space in the main compartment for a wide range of equipment securely.
