| Raidlight Endurance Backpack, 10Litre plus 0.6L Bottle |
 |
Performance and lightness for this most popular trail back-pack!
This ultralight backpack is designed to satisfy your needs for trails, day-races or day-hiking. Its multiple pockets provide total autonomy for a day's supplies. Delivered with one bottle (600ml).
Our Verdict
This seems bigger than 10 Litres to us, especially when you add up all that gear carrying capability.
The Endurance pack is designed to be a daypack but you could squeeze in some lightweight summer overnight gear such as bivi or tarp etc.. As a daypack it has fantastic organising ability and if you like everything to hand this could be your ideal pack.
A key feature is the front pocket for a bladder - this is in contrast to the normal position on the back, the theory is that its easy to get in and out to refill - and this is true in practice.
We're dubious about the zoned padding on the back panel - when full the sack forms a tubular shape and the side padding is ineffective.
With such a good hip belt though the carry and load transferrence are excellent. In summary - it'll carry much more than you think for a 10Litre rucksack and will carry it well.
