I'm looking for a new rucksack / daysack for taking all the kit out with me when I take the kids (and mindees - I'm a cm) for day expeditions. Need somehting about 25l, but I'm really looking for one with a hip-belt. I've spent a lot of time with a lo on my back and know how important a hip belt is for spreading hte weight!
However I don't want one with one of those air-flow things on the back - I bought one like that last year, and the bottom of the curved frame thing really cut into my back - I ended up giving away the rucksack. Can anyone suggest anything? It can be difficult to see on the photos on-line which have which kind of back.
