Forclaz Trek 900 Symbium, Hiking 70+10 L Backpack, Men's

Bought this for a multiday tramp in the mountains overseas followed by tour around some towns. As a tall woman、 I found no problems carrying this around and it gave me bonus room compared to the women's model. The adjustment straps、 especially the belt ones were thoughtfully layed out and easy to tighten and loosen. A great feature is the detachable top that can be converted into a shoulder bag if you want to dump the rest of your gear at camp or in a hotel and explore carrying valuables etc only (in mine i fit a dslr、 a kindle、 a book and a nintendo). The interior pouch is perfect for camelback hydration bladder. The side pockets are brilliant and tough and there are smaller pockets on the waist belt! I was able to carry camping equipment、sleeping bag some clothes and had space to fit in sizable souvineers too!

Zipper broken after few weeks

Bought this to replace a cheap '65 + 5L' backpack from Amazon. Always knew it was not 70L. Bought this (70+10) over the 90+10 thank god I did, its a big old backpack. but This is the perfect backpack, it literally has all the bells and whistles. Yet to test out and about but I have fully loaded it so I will explain below. In the top you have your pouch for rain cover, theres room in there for your rain jacket also, on the underside of the lid there is another zip pocket, so first aid kit, headlamp etc in there. Also in there is a zipped mesh pouch for phone wallet and a clip for keys. The 2 water bottle holders is perfect without removing other handy features such as 2 pockets on waist belt. Waist belt is thick and sturdy and does not dig in. Plenty of adjustment for shoulder width, height, waist and chest. Main compartment is absolutely huge. With everything I need in there for a hike in comfort which doesnt fit in most medium sized bags there is plenty of room upwards If I needed it. So main compartment has large synthetic sleeping bag, tent, clothes, poles and pegs, food sack, frying pan, sleeping mat, hydration bladder and stove set. jacket, waterproof trousers. Tarp, rope, fold out chair. Main side pockets quick access stuff like toiletries, spade, snacks, light, multitool etc Then still 2 mesh pockets with straps spare for light camp trainers or extra poles, and also trekking pole holders to the side. Foam sleeping mat underneath the bag. Few things hanging off the front tabs. All this comes in at around 12KG and when i set it up on my back correctly I literally did not feel any heavier. Was abit dubious about a framed backpack for the extra weight but it is true, when something fits properly you can definitely carry more. Really looking forward to taking this out. Cannot recommend enough for (initial) comfort and storage and how well thought out it is. If anything changes when I can take it out I will be sure to update

O.K.

Good bag, but The paddling in The belt are really cheap and poor. Thinking about return The bag beacause of The paddling, so bad.

Extremely comfortable with lots of options to spread loading when carrying heavy. Ability to adjust the height of the shoulder straps is great as I'm quite tall. straps on the bottom are a good addition to carry a tent or something large on the outside of the bag, with the waterproof cover able to cover this aswell. Space inside is huge with a great amount of extra pockets and the zip to open the front makes everything in your bag accessible without having to drag the whole lot out of the top. Pockets for waterbottle being tilted is a great ergonomic feature, making it easy to access.

Very spacious and light weight which is good for camping

It's a awesome product.. easy to carry with full of bag

Package received as opened & very poor packing. Backpack is looking good but cost bit high.

Product is good but it comes as opened which is not understood. Very poor packing, I had paid extra amount for packing and transportation.

Product is excellent but price too high. Packing was very pathetic and delivered as opened. When asked delhivery boy, he said it always happens in transportation which is not understood by me.

Of the different backpacks I have come across in the past 10 years this is the best backpack in the price segment in India. Built like a beast and is very comfortable on the back despite heavy loads. I am 5'11" tall and have used it for some really long treks & expeditions like Pin Bhaba & Kang Yatse (Marka Valley) with loads above 20 KG. Recommended if you are a regular trekker who treks alpine style or needs lots of space.
