Two litres of carrying capacity can be plenty when you've figured out that a phone, wallet, keys, a trail bar or two and a map cover most situations. Built from Retina Econyl – a mix of recycled polyamide – it's designed to wear around your waist or across your shoulder depending on what you're doing. The external mesh pocket keeps frequently grabbed items accessible, the quick-release buckle means you're not fumbling with clips when you're trying to get at something, and there's a hook on the bungee cord for attaching extras. Back toggles let you clip it to webbing when you don't want to wear it, and there's extra webbing for stowing the waist strap when you're wearing it cross-body. It weighs a scant 140g yet holds 1kg of stuff comfortably.

The mountain town of Åre is kind of like a Swedish Chamonix. It’s home to the country’s biggest ski area, and the rugged terrain is criss-crossed by long-distance hiking paths, snowmobile trails and downhill biking tracks.
It’s from this gnarly outdoor playground that cult Scandi gear brand, Klättermusen, emerged back in 1975. The company started out as a bunch of local climbers turning out DIY technical gear from a small workshop, and within ten years they’d already built up a rep for innovative and impeccably designed kit.
These days outdoor manufacturers love to shout about their environmental credentials, but sustainability is nothing new for Klättermusen. It’s been part of their ethos since those early days of flares and prog rock, and they’ve always believed that good gear should be made to last. Their packs and clothing are designed to hold up reliably year after year in full-on Alpine and sub-Arctic conditions – and this is even more impressive when you consider that many of their fabrics incorporate recycled materials like discarded fishing nets and worn-out carpets.
Pretty much no-one else is making outdoor gear of this quality, but somehow 'the Climbing Mouse' continues to scuttle slightly under the radar. Mention Klättermusen’s packs to any serious Swedish mountaineer and they either have one or want one, but outside Scandinavia it's still very much an ‘if you know, you know’ sort of a brand.
