The backpack is very well made, it feels durable, and the stitching is neat with no loose threads. The only difference is the colour scheme – the olive model I ordered arrived entirely in olive, while on the website you can see a strap and other elements in black, which I consider a drawback.

After a few weeks of using the backpack for work, I can say that it is well made, rigid and rather heavy. The inside is lined with fabric. Although it is not very spacious, it should be sufficient for work or school. The material is durable. I haven't tested it in the rain yet, but I plan to waterproof it if necessary. The main zip gives a solid impression, is large and opens easily. At the front, in the upper part of the flap, there is a small pocket with a carabiner on a springy line. It also has two side pockets – one smaller and one longer, both with zips, as well as a bottle compartment. The pockets are rather tight, but do not stick out. Inside, there are two mesh zip pockets and one without a zip, plus several fabric dividers. For daily use in school or work, it is ideal. The back is very rigid and the rear of the backpack is completely covered with a breathable material. There is a large pocket at the back. The shoulder straps are comfortable, quite soft and can be fastened with a strap. I am very pleased with my choice and recommend it for its quality and practicality.

The Magnum Cityox 28L is a spacious and practical backpack, perfect for everyday use and short trips. The interior is well-designed and the shoulder straps are comfortable, providing ease while carrying. The backpack is sturdy, attractively priced, and suits both urban style and outdoor activities. I bought it as an evacuation backpack.

I bought this backpack with the idea of preparing a BOB. It has the right capacity and many well-designed internal pockets. The side and top pockets are a bit narrow, but they fit long storm matches or pepper spray. The mesh pockets on the sides are suitable for one-litre bottles, larger ones may not fit. The lacing is a big advantage, and the straps are comfortable and don't press on the back. Overall, I am very satisfied with the purchase.

I ordered this backpack for a friend, but too little time has passed since purchase to assess its durability. At the moment, my friend has no complaints, except that the backpack is a bit heavy (he previously had regular backpacks). Its advantages include rigidity and solid workmanship, and the zips seem sturdy.
