The backpack has many advantages, and the only downside is the weak carrying system – the frame makes it comfortable to carry only up to about 9-10 kg. The materials are of good quality, so you can carry more, but at the expense of comfort. It's very spacious and solidly made. With the external pockets, the actual capacity seems even greater than stated – in my opinion it's as much as 40 litres. The hydration system has a separate, external pocket! Altogether there are 8 outer pockets and 4 inner ones. Great for light trips, though it's too big for everyday use.

It's worked well for me on short trips and is comfortable to carry. I definitely recommend it.

I definitely recommend it – the backpack is very comfortable and spacious.

The design had potential, but the final result is rather average. The top compression straps overlap the pockets in the lid, making it difficult to remove squashed items and you basically can't open the lid when the pockets are full. The side pockets are also impractical because of their shape and placement – flexible pockets like in the Summit model or more PALS compartments would be a better solution. After about 100 km of use, the backpack began to fray at the frame.

A great backpack for everyday use and as an emergency bag. It easily holds all the necessary items and remains comfortable even with considerable weight. Highly recommended.
