Product Customer Reviews
It's comfortable to carry. It has good compartments, although more wouldn't hurt. The central zipper is very useful for accessing what's inside. It's not very heavy.
Roomy, comfortable
It's a spectacular backpack. I'd say it's the perfect size or capacity to carry what you need on your trips or hikes, as was my case during a week on the Camino de Santiago. Very comfortable to carry and totally recommendable. I'm happy with the purchase.
Lightweight and high-quality. Very happy with the purchase.
Beautiful product, weight distributed excellently on the back.
The backpack is nice and light. The pockets are well thought out and functional. A plus for the slightly stretchy material in the pockets on the hip belt. The ideal lacks softer shoulder straps and an internal partition, giving the possibility of dividing the main compartment of the backpack into 2 parts. A rain cover would also be useful.
I was in the mountains with this backpack for 3.5 days, where I had to pack a sleeping bag, a mattress, a supply of food and warm clothes for 3 days. The backpack worked great, and my back was almost not wet at all, thanks to the convenient arrangement of the frame. In addition to the space inside, on the outside of the bag I was able to hang a lot of additional things, such as a rain cover for the backpack, a sweatshirt, a jacket, a sleeping mat, a bottle of water, or even a tent, just use carabiners or straps. A big plus is also the main pocket that opens at the bottom of the backpack, which allowed you to take out the sleeping bag and mattress without having to throw all the other things out of the inside. The only downside may be the lack of compartments inside, which may be a slight inconvenience for some, but I divided things into nets/plastic bags and everything was fine. I recommend it to everyone for light hikes, great price-quality ratio, it can easily compete with the best brands of hiking backpacks. Another plus - its weight, very negligible. Another minus is maybe some seams were not made precisely.
Very good backpack, light, strong, ultra comfortable and with storage everywhere.
It is very nice that the back part is adjustable according to your height. It also has many compartments, which makes it easy to use. It can be opened with a zipper from both the top and bottom, making it easier to access your belongings.
Very practical. Lightweight
Very comfortable, it adapts very well to the back, but the ventilation issue does not prevent me from sweating.
Very comfortable, fits well on the back. But the ventilation isn't miracle workers; my back still sweats.
Very good bag, very well ventilated, reasonable weight, perhaps a little too far back and the padding on the belt a little short
I used the backpack for a week-long trip and it was perfect, comfortable, and the right size for me (I'm 1'60).
I recommend it. It is a very successful product.
