On first glance, especially given its no-frills design, you’d be forgiven for thinking this minimalist bag is overpriced, but the quality of the materials used, the waterproof seams and all-day comfort should convince otherwise. But what about the bag itself? It’s big, but weighs very little – less than the Knomo Novello, but with 10+ litres more capacity – and the use of multiple compartments helps you keep on top of your stuff. The material is exceptionally robust, and while the media/laptop section is easy to organise, the main front compartment for your clothes has a stuff-it-and-see feel about it. Not a big deal, but if the zips opened slightly more, organising our pants would be so much simpler.Principally designed for commuting but capable of taking a lot more than the urban hustle in its stride, the Osprey Nebula is among the best bags of its type. It’s stuffed with padded slots and pouches for all your laptop, tablet and smartphone storage needs, yet capacious enough to hold up to 34l of gear for a day out on the trails.

From rainy city days to the wildest terrains, wherever your adventures lead, the Drift will take you there. With multiple capacities available from 38l to 68l, the superb Osprey Kestrel (for men) and Kyte (for women) let hikers choose which size they want based on the length of their expedition. We tried the 58l Kestrel on a four-day hiking and camping trip and were thoroughly impressed by its overall comfort and impressive range of technical features.With the tape measure parallel to the floor, measure the circumference around the fullest part of your chest.
