Ventis’ X-Air back system allows warm air to flow away from the body by keeping the rucksack away from your back therefore increasing your comfort. Packed with handy features including a rain cover and a large front drop-in pocket. Being hydration compatible, this daysack will suit all adventures.

The Siru 30 is a roomy panel-loading pack at a very good price. It’s comfortable to carry and keeps the back reasonably dry due to the ribbed mesh-covered foam pads on the back with air spacing around them. The back is only semi-stiff and hugs the body well to give good stability. The shoulder straps are quite wide and made from perforated foam, again to let moisture out. They’re not that thick but then this pack isn’t designed for heavy loads as there is no padded hip belt. The pockets are roomy and easy to access. The front main one has a long curved zip and a mesh compartment inside. Outside it is a roomy stretch pouch. The side stretch pockets are angled towards the wearer making accessing water easy. They’re big enough for litre-size bottles too. The zip on the main compartment and front pocket aren’t water resistant and there are no protective flaps so they won’t keep the rain out for long, however there is a rain cover in the base. The pack also lacks side straps which mean it can’t be clinched down. Overall though it is a good pack, especially the price.
