Holden - Outdoor Explorer 40 Backpack | By Mason & Reed London

Used it for a long country walk and it carried everything I needed without feeling awkward. The straps feel secure and the pockets are useful.

Plenty of room for a weekend away and the separate sections make it easy to keep everything organised. The back padding is comfortable even when I've packed it quite full.

A solid backpack with loads of storage. I particularly like being able to organise smaller bits rather than having everything loose in one large compartment.

Bought this mainly for short trips and it has been spot on. Enough capacity for clothes, toiletries and a few extras, while still being manageable to carry.

I was pleasantly surprised by the back cushioning. Had it on for several hours with a fairly heavy load and it remained comfortable.

The 40L size works well for my hiking gear and the different storage areas are handy. Feels sturdy enough for regular use.

Wanted something more rugged than my normal work backpack for days outdoors. This does the job nicely and the black version looks smart as well.

The reinforced straps give it a secure feel and there is a sensible amount of organisation inside. I've used it for travel and day hikes already.

A roomy bag without feeling excessively bulky. The exterior webbing is useful for attaching a few extra bits when I'm out walking.

Took this on a weekend trip and managed to fit far more in than expected. Easy to organise, comfortable on my shoulders and feels dependable.

The army green colour looks excellent in person. Storage is generous and it sits comfortably against my back. Customer service also answered my delivery question quickly.

Feels made for actual use rather than just looks. The straps are supportive and the multiple sections have made packing much easier.

For the price I wasn't expecting quite this much space or such a practical layout. It has become my go-to bag for weekends away.

I've now taken it on two hikes and it has performed very well. Good support, plenty of room for layers and food, and easy access to the things I need most.

Loads of capacity and the organisation is very good. It feels slightly larger on my back than my previous pack, but that's really down to the 40L size.

Very pleased with the backpack itself. It is spacious and comfortable, though delivery was a little slower than I had hoped.

Comfortable straps, useful compartments and a rugged appearance. Took a few minutes to work out how I wanted to arrange everything, but once packed it carries well.

Good practical backpack with enough space for a full day's gear and more. I would have preferred one of the smaller pockets to be a touch easier to reach.

I've used it for an overnight trip and a couple of walks. Plenty of room and good support. The khaki shade was a little different from what I expected on my screen, but still looks good.

Very handy if you like keeping your gear separated. The bag feels robust and the back cushioning is a nice touch. Slightly bulkier than my everyday backpack.

Works well for travel, walking and carrying kit around town. The straps feel reassuring with heavier loads. Four stars only because shipping took a few extra days.

Looks smart in a practical outdoor way and holds a surprising amount. I contacted support about tracking and they got back to me promptly.

The internal organisation is useful and it doesn't dig into my shoulders when loaded. One zip felt a little stiff at first but loosened up after a few uses.

A capable backpack with plenty of storage and comfortable padding. I would personally prefer a slightly more compact shape for daily commuting, but for trips it's excellent.

Fits my walking gear, spare layer, lunch and other essentials with room left over. Bigger than I need for very short outings, but ideal when carrying more.

Good amount of room and I like the attachment points on the outside. It is comfortable once adjusted properly, although the straps took me a little time to get just right.

I've had no issues with it on two short trips. The supportive back makes a difference and the compartments are sensible. Would have liked delivery a little sooner.
