A couple of rucksacks have arrived from Berghaus.
Pictured above, they are Freeflow 20 day sacks, featuring Berghaus’s Freeflow IV backsystem, breathable shoulder straps and a front pocket that doubles as a 2 litre hydration reservoir pouch. The swing tags also broadcast an ‘integrated raincover that is stowed away in the top lid’. This must be a secret pocket that I can’t find, and as the rucksacks don’t have a lid as such I would recommend the use of a waterproof liner such as a 22 litre one from Bob and Rose.
These look to be excellent little day sacks, made from Ardura 420D fabric and weighing in at just under 900 grammes. I see lots of them in use on the trails. The size is a bit small for all the junk I tend to carry around, so I’ve found a couple of grateful recipients who will report back on their performance in due course. Thanks Jenny and Sue.
The Freeflow 20 retails at around £55 from Berghaus, but costs rather less from numerous retailers. The current specification is here.
The full range of Berghaus daysacks is here, and their larger packs are here, available from many sources.

These look quite neat, although probably too small for me or Missyg for the usual clobber we have on even a daywalk.
And, although seemingly spec'd for walking use, they have a strong "urban" look, or at least they seem to from the pics.
I must confess to not having got on very well with previous incarnations of the Freeflow sacks, especially the large "bow" in the back sheet that made it hard to get stuff in and out. But, having said that, these look much less pronounced and it'd be good to see the feedback on these new models.
