New travel packs and travel-orientated daysacks from the adventure travel specialists.
Lifeventure
is best known for its range of adventure travel accessories and
gubbinses, washgear, sleepgear, wallets and the like, but they've also
just launched a range of new
Adventure Trail packs which, the company says, is
'Guaranteed for Life'.

The
packs are also '75% recycled by content' and are
i-TRAK
enabled with unique identification codes, enabling the finder to trace
the owner via internet, email or phone.
Travel Packs
There are two travel packs - the
Altai
60+15 and
Altai
70+15 - with the first figure referring to the main body
and the second being a detachable 15-litre daysack. Both include
classic travel pack features like a zip-away, adjustable back system,
rain cover, front and base base entry to main pack with lockable zips.
Prices are
£129.99
and
£149.99
respectively and while we'd generally use a full-on pack for any sort
of serious trekking, travel packs are a very portable compromise
between a suitcase and rucksac.
Daypacks
The other haf of the range is a pair of neat-looking
daypacks, the
Dakar 20
and
Dakar 30
- pictured right - again with some travel orientated features
- both versions have a hidden, zippered passport pocket which is
located against the back for security and secure back panel entry to
the main compartment tucked away behind the shoulder straps to make
things difficult for sneak thieves.
In addition, the 30-litre Dakar has a front organiser pocket and fixed
luggage tag, zip-away bottle pocket, spacer mesh back panel for hot
weather use and lockable zips.
Prices are
£34.99
and
£44.99
respectively and you can find more details on the Lifeventure web site
