Walkhighlands - Brevent 22L rucksack review

Walkhighlands - Brevent 22L rucksack review

By Mark Roberts

Its durable fabric, UK craftsmanship, and relatively lightweight nature make the Colibri bike pack a reliable choice, despite its heavier feel than synthetic packs.

Apart from the looks, the big advantage here is the durability of the fabric, and it’s made in the UK too. Though not as light as synthetic alternatives, it is extremely tough and not actually as heavy as you might expect or remember from packs of days long gone. The Brevent is covered by Alpkit’s generous 25 Year Alpine Bond, which means you can return it for repair, replacement or refund. It’s available in mustard (pictured, but currently out of stock) or denim.
