I love this backpack so much that it’s in daily use, which is a high recommendation from me! I was totally won over by its green creds: it’s made up of fabric and parts of old tents (which is why you might recognise Vango as a brand) and inside, there’s a label that says ‘Past Tents’, Now, as an editor, I think that’s probably the best pun IN THE WORLD, and they deserve many stars just for that but, grammatical humour aside, it’s also a blooming useful bag – all the bottle holders, pockets and laptop space you could want, and it’s extremely rugged. It’s not a running backpack however – and isn’t sold as one, so I’m not marking down – it’s more of a day hiker bag, and works beautifully as that. The only small thing is I could do with some waterproofing, as it isn’t quite. Otherwise, top notch.
