Mountain Warehouse Ventura 40 Litre Backpack Review

For just £42.99 The Mountain Warehouse Ventura 40L backpack is an absolute bargain for beginner hikers looking to lighten their load! With a ton of compartments, it's really easy to practice with on your first overnight hikes and has plenty of straps to attach your tent and roll mat to the outside. Picked up the Ventura 40L rucksack from Mountain Warehouse for my other half before we travelled to India and she loved it for its size and weight ratio at such a low price. Shame, however, it's not got the roll down top that I like in a backpack and has far too much excess strapping which I'd definitely cut off to neaten the pack up and bring the weight down.
