This seems to be the description given to any rucksack under £100! I'm considering either the Berghaus Antaeus 65 or the Karrimor Panther 65 for a few months in South America, and the budget is getting smaller by the day...any feedback welcomed please - they both seem pretty strong to me, and have all the features of some costing twice the price. Cheers!

How about the Berghaus Jalan 60+15 Rucksack? That one is much better suited for travel.
That, or the Karrimor Continental 65. Both are under the magic £100 price point.

Check out the decathlon stores/website. I've been using their gear for the past year and it's pretty durable stuff. Cheap too - my 50litre pack only cost £48 and it's stacked with features!!! Since returning for a couple of weeks I've revised the kit while I have the chance. I like the Berghaus/karrimor/north face brigade but sometimes it's just too good a product to just carry stuff in.

Thanks - I looked at the Berghaus 'Jalan' but couldn't see myself wearing it (ugly and bulky and zero street-cred - just my opinion...) and have bought the Berghaus Antaeus which is really comfortable and smart too. Time will tell if it's the right choice!

Top loader vs. panel loader

Yep, time will tell.
