The early-mid 90s Karrimor climbing/mountain packs are basically the pinnacle of rucksack design imho.
I had vented Osprey packs previously(about 12yr ago) but found they did my back in within minutes however much I adjusted them.
The backs aren’t vented but I’ve never found it to be an issue.
We’ve got a few from the ‘hot’ series in 30&40l a big fuck off alpiniste, kimm-sac and another 20l that get used for climbing, holiday luggage and day to day use.
They’ve been dropped in the sea, launched off cliffs, thrown by countless baggage handlers and other abuses and they just keep going as strong as ever.
The backpacking spec ones tend to have more side pockets etc but yeah.
