We bought several of these backpacks for a two-week family trip. Lots of room for everything and easy to organize the packing space. Really liked the zippered pockets on the waistband to keep keys, money etc close at hand and secure. Weight is well-distributed when fully buckled and comfortable to hike with. Only used for one trip so far but as long as the fasteners hold up over time I would definitely recommend this product!

Light bag and good size to use as carry on

Fantastic product carried very heavy things in it and is holding up great lots of pockets and never had any back pain

I took this backpack travelling around Europe for 4 months and was really happy with it. Pretty sturdy and with an nice padded waist strap which is hard to find in a 40l, but still compact and small enough for hand luggage on most airlines. The clamshell opening made it easy to manage in hostels etc, and it fitted the forclaz packing cubes nicely. There are better backpacks out there but for the price I would highly recommend this one!

Excellent for the DofE 10 mile hike. Got plenty of room for everything needed and the 2 openers is a great idea, no more emptying the bag to get something from the bottom!

Literally couldn’t find anything better for light or short term travelling! Opens up like a suitcase on the back which makes life soo much easier! As it’s smaller it is accepted as hand luggage which makes travelling so much quicker and cheaper!

Want to add my praises to this backpack while packing for my 3rd trip with it (1x5 days, 1x5 weeks and 1x3 weeks). This is the perfect carryon backpack for traveling. It never amazes me just how much I can fit in it and well thought out (shoe bag, easy laptop and wash bag access for security). The only thing is it's not the comfiest- fine for tackling cobblestones for an hour or so but I won't recommend it for hiking/trekking. May be it's my packing but I find it challenging to get the back completely flat, a whole day hiking with something random sticking in your back is really not great!

I’m really pleased with the rucksack. It is perfect as carry on luggage for flights, whilst maximising capacity. It easily held what I needed for a 2 week trip, was not too bulky or heavy for travelling around. It was comfortable on the back and distributed the load well with the hip belt. It is an unusual design, which I found it good for both access and security.

It’s texture is sturdy, and maintains posture. It is very heavy though.

Great quality backpack and great size too. I'm using the closest storage area closest to the straps for a 2litre water bladder but can't see that there is a hole through for the water pipe from the water bladder. Is there one that i can't see?

Fit perfectly to Ryanair cabin bag. Good value for money

We went trekking in Albania mountains. This backpack was perfect for me as it wasn't too big but it carries all the necessary things inside. My backpack weighted about 7kg and still it felt light as you can adjust it so that it feels as part of your whole body. Great product.
