Long term use review of the Eurohike Ratio 10 & 18 pack.
These are a pair of very similar small, cheap (under a tenner on sale) day packs. About 10L & 18L volume respectively.
These are a few years old and the current version has some cosmetic changes. The 18 has been hammered a bit more and exposed to the sea on small boats fairly often.
Features between the sizes are very similar. The 18 has a hydration port and three Velcro loops inside the main compartment.
The zips and zipper pulls are fine despite salt water exposure. I have only added para cord because I was bored.
Back and shoulder straps are lightly padded. There is a thin sewn in plastic reinforcement.
The waist strap in simple adjustable webbing.
The front pocket has a plastic key clip.
There are narrow stretch mesh side pockets. They’ll fit a bottle of sun spray or wet wipes, not a drink bottle.
On the 18 each side has a compression strap. I added a Paracord loop to the pocket zip so I can clip it to one and be a little more secure.
There is also a narrow daisy chain on each side and a single trekking pole loop.
