These hiking backpacks stand out in the market for their sheer capability and size. You'll have no problem carrying all of your valuable possessions along mountain trails with Vango's quality design at your side. The Sherpa in particular is an excellent fit for the hiker with a taste for adventure. It's designed to compress your belongings in order to maximize the space you can use for packing.Black

The Contour doesn't compress as well as the Sherpa but it certainly has its strong points. The hip belt on the Contour is clearly superior and the backpack provides comfort you won't find in the Sherpa. It's best suited for explorers with convenience in mind.
