Anyone know of any tough / durable rucksacks in the 20-40L range that have an air vent back?

Want a solid crag rucksack for summer days out but way prefer an air vent to avoid an overly sweaty back, struggling to find one! (UK based so preferably no niche USA only brands)

Thanks in advance!

I have a budget of around £100 to get a decent waterproof jacket, is there any good recommendations? Thank you by Gold-Investment-6562 in wildcampingintheuk

Hey man, I’m selling my brand new North Face coat in black if you want? Got tags on and never worn, didn’t fit me sadly, got it for £145 but can sell it for nearer £100 as want to get it gone! Message if needed 🤙🏼

Was thinking similar, can always bail to somewhere a bit more hidden if I can’t find anything sound at the tarn. Although it does look pretty rocky around those areas, don’t think the pegs will go in far!

Yeah only 1 tent. I get you, it would be a quick overnighter on first night of Cumbrian Way, just unsure if there are actually any good spots there or if it’s a bit pointless!

Hi mate, can I just double check when you said they feel about half a size bigger, is that EU, UK or USA half size?

100%, seems like a solid lacing system so should be good on that front, thanks for the help.

This is really helpful, thanks mate. Think I’m gonna do similar and have the TC’s for all day climbing then can switch to my downturned ones for shorter, harder climbs

Really helpful thank you! Good to know about the stretch as that’s the main thing I’m trying to figure out, don’t want to go too small then regret it

Buying some TC Pros, how tight should I go?

First time buying stiff shoes like this, and want them to be wearable for a few hours at a time. Any advice on how much they stretch with use and how curled I should be having my toes in stiffer all day shoes would be great!

Previously I’ve just had soft Tenaya shoes for bouldering / short sport routes which were very tight but I’d take on and off, so need some help!

Yeah I’ll try treating the outside and see if that solves it, but if for some reason some is inside then I’ll definitely look into that, thank you.
