There comes a point in every adult's life when they must accept that carrying things on two shoulders is simply more sensible than wrecking one side of their body for fashion.

We've tested rucksacks for laptops, daypacks for adventures, and everything in between. Some are genuinely brilliant; others are just expensive ways to carry sandwiches. We'll help you tell the difference.
