Alpinestars 2010 rucksack range

Alpinestars have expanded their range of rucksacks and backpacks for 2010, with six new models. Alpinestars rucksacks are a firm favourite in the office, with their good-looking design, nice details from iPod pockets and holes to pass earphones through, to key clips and waterproof zips. Although with frequent abuse, we have managed to break a few of them they're still up there for quality and value for money.
