Product Information

As well as the top opening, the main compartment can be accessed via a large front opening panel, with a double puller zip on three sides. We found this feature really useful for getting at gear when at camp, without having to remove items at the top of the main area. Both the harness straps and the hipbelt have ventilation perforations. The harness has dual density foam, which gives reasonable comfort. The hip fins have good padding and were comfortable.

When not in use, the harness cover folds up and goes in a bottom compartment with hook-and-loop fastening. Inside the main compartment is a hydration reservoir pouch and hanging loop, with exit for a drinking tube to the right harness strap.

The separator between main and lower compartment can be unzipped to create one larger area if required. This might be necessary if your tent is longer than the main compartment. Comfort was good, with the harness providing just enough padding and the hipbelt working particularly well.

We’d advise trying them on in store if possible, preferably with much of the kit you expect to place in them to gauge comfort and fit with the appropriate load weight.The foam in the shoulder straps is fairly stiff, but was reasonably comfortable, with just enough padding, and the harness does support the weight well. There’s more foam padding in the hipbelt, and the fins wrap nicely round the body and are offer good comfort. With winter on the horizon, hillgoers will also have to carry more kit: extra clothing, crampons, ice-axe, gloves, hat, headtorches and all the other essentials to enhance safety, even on day walks. It falls into the category of gear we like best: put it on and forget it’s there, which means it’s working well for the job it’s designed to do. The main lid compartment is a good size with a zip at the rear. Inside it is a key loop. On the underside of the lid is a second zipped compartment.

compartment is long enough to accommodate a typical lightweight two-person tent, and there is also a separate zipped bottom compartment for sleeping bag or stove. The main compartment is a good size and the bottom compartment is bigger than most, and easily accommodated our sleeping bag and stove. There’s a divider between the two, which can be unzipped and opened to create one big storage space.It’s big enough for lightweight camping trips and multi-day treks, for which it is best suited and will also serve well on winter mountain days, with plenty of capacity for the extra kit needed. The main body of the Asymmetric 52+8 is a diamond-patterned 400-denier polyamide-polyester mix with side panels and base in 600 denier polyester, half of whose content is recycled. The fabrics have polyurethane coating.
