Gray and Red, Vaude Gallery Air 30+5, Hiking, Backpack. This pack easily won a recent test of affordable load haulers (8/08), in part because every tester achieved a perfect fit from the six full inches of torso-length adjustability. Dense padding in the hips, lumbar, and shoulder areas make for a comfortable ride with 45 pounds. Two contoured aluminum stays transfer weight efficiently to the cushy hipbelt, and the suspension flexes laterally, which helps reduce rubbing. The backpanel vented well, even in Costa Rica's tropical humidity.
