Our Verdict

Inside I had a full change of clothes, night clothes, fleece hoody, gloves, hat, water bottle, toiletry bag, travel towel, solar charger, iPod, camera and travel speaker, and there was still room for more.

The rucksack (find out more about it here) has straps all over the place, allowing you to adjust the fit, and attach gear to the outside of it. There is a loop on the outside of the bag for a walking pole, and straps at the bottom that we (briefly) attached a sleeping bag to.

This is a great value rucksack; great for backpackers, campers and festival goers.

The rucksack feels well made and importantly, it’s comfortable to wear. We went out on a 4.5 mile walk, and fully loaded the rucksack as though we were going wild camping for the night, and It felt comfortable throughout.

Adjustable chest strap

We think at £42.99 that the rucksack is great value for money, and at 45Litres it’s big enough, whilst still remaining at a manageable weight and size, making it ideal for weekend hikes, short camping breaks and festivals.

Internal drawstring

Thank you to Planet Camping who provided the Highlander Discovery 45L rucksack for us to review.
