The backpack has many advantages, with the only drawback being the weak carrying system – the frame makes the wearing comfort noticeable only up to around 9-10 kg. The materials are of good quality, so you can carry more, but at the expense of comfort. It is very spacious and solidly made. With the external pockets, the real capacity even seems greater than stated – in my opinion, it's up to 40 liters. The hydration system has a separate, external pocket! Altogether, there are 8 external and 4 internal pockets. Great for light trips, although it is too big for everyday use.

It works well for me during short trips, it's 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 upper compression straps go over the lid pockets, making it difficult to remove squeezed items and basically you can't open the lid when the pockets are full. The side pockets are also not very practical due to their shape and placement – flexible pockets like in the Summit model, or more PALS dividers, would be a better solution. After about 100 km of use, the backpack started to tear at the frame.

Great backpack for everyday use and as an emergency bag. Easily fits all necessary items and remains comfortable even with a lot of weight. Highly recommend.
