Our verdict
Lightweight and durable, the Vango Cargo 60 is ideal luggage, whether you're camping or going on a weekend away. The 60-litre capacity means there's loads of space for all your clothing and the large zipped lid makes it quick and easy to get access to everything inside.
The zip mesh pocket inside the lid provides a separate storage area and makes identification of contents easy. Vango has used Protex 4:2 Fabric, an innovative new material developed by the company. Made with 420D ripstop polyester with two coatings of polyurethane on the inside and four coatings on the outer face, it gives the bag added strength without adding extra weight.
The Cargo 60 has large central grab handles as well as handles at both ends, so it's easy to carry and move from the car boot to the tent. If you plan to use it on longer journeys there are stowaway shoulder straps to make carrying easier. Lockable zips and an ID sleeve provide added security on your travels.
