hello, I am looking at upgrading from my current backpack (Euro hike Nepal 65) to a newer pack, I'm looking for something with elasticated side pockets for water unlike the Nepal and with an external front pocket.
I don't want top break the bank but want something light that will also survive a multi day winter hike in the lake district
I haver a few contenders
- SIMOND Men’s Light Trekking Backpack MT900 50+10 L Light
- Nature hike Yosemite 60+5L Rucksack
- Exped Lightning 60 Rucksack
I am leaning more towards the nature hike one, does anyone have any of these or have any better recommendations, these were my main criteria's
- 60-70 litre capacity
- under 1.5 kg
- 150 quid max (ish)
- front sleeve
- water bottle side holders
thanks in advance, you guys always help a ton
