The backpack meets my expectations, it has many practical features. The main compartment is spacious, you can also attach many things on the outside, so it's sufficient for tourist trips. And since it's not big and can be cinched down with special straps, it may qualify as carry-on luggage if needed (of course, if you watch the weight). I am very satisfied with the purchase. Additionally, I was surprised by how fast the order was processed – I placed it just before 11 p.m., and the next day before noon I was already picking up the backpack from the parcel locker!

The backpack is perfectly designed and sturdily made. It looks even better in person than in the pictures. The advantages include a comfortable hip belt with stretchy pockets perfect for a phone, strong buckles and zippers, a flat pocket in the top compartment, very comfortable straps, and a well-thought-out rain cover. You can reduce the backpack's size with straps if it's not full. So far, I haven’t noticed any disadvantages.

I wanted to buy a military-style backpack, but in this budget I couldn't find anything suitable. I chose this Alpinus backpack, which looks a bit military and is in my favorite color. It works well for mountain trips, forests, and other excursions. The backpack seems solid and well-made, no loose threads or other flaws. I was surprised by its capacity – to fill it completely, I had to pack quite a few things. Both the hip belt and shoulder straps are thick and well-padded. This is a fresh purchase, so for now, I can only praise the quality of workmanship and capacity.

This backpack is really well thought out, designed with experience and attention to detail. Very spacious, comfortable (main compartment opens fully from the front), perfect for short, several-day trips or hunting – already tested. The only thing I miss is a few more small pockets inside and outside, though it's manageable. It’s very durable. Thanks to the side straps and loops, you can attach a lot of gear like a sleeping pad, tent, sleeping bag or hammock, and everything is secure. I am very satisfied with the purchase.

The backpack is surprisingly spacious for its size. The material is solid, the zippers are sturdy and secure the numerous pockets well. An additional advantage is the space for a hydration bladder and a rain cover. For short, several-day mountain trips, it works amazingly well. I recommend it.

This is a great backpack, ideal for longer trips – it’s already been tested many times. The pocket arrangement is very convenient, and the capacity is impressive for its volume. The only downside may be the top part, which is closed only with a zipper, but after over a year of use there are no signs of wear or damage. Definitely a very successful purchase!

The backpack works great for light gear. Thanks to its design, it can hold a lot both inside and outside. I've had it for a relatively short time, but so far, I’m very satisfied. Remember, it's intended for a specific group of users. The side straps allow you to attach larger items, such as a sleeping pad or shelter. Even a large, two-part sleeping bag fits easily in the main compartment, and the many pockets help organize your equipment. I was worried about comfort, but so far, everything is fine. If you’re looking for a backpack for day trips or weekend outings, I recommend this model.
