Lightning-fast shipping. The product matched the description and I have no complaints about the store, but the backpack itself turned out to be exceptionally uncomfortable compared with modern trekking models of a similar size. It lacks frame adjustment, so if you are not the right height, that becomes a problem — at my 180 cm, it is simply too short. It may be possible to pack it in such a way that hiking is not tiring, but I did not spend over 1,500 PLN on a backpack just to give up the packing method that had worked well with my previous five models. It may indeed be very durable, I did not test that, but for me, as a mountain guide, it is ruled out because of the overly limited adjustment options. In the end, I returned it.

MOLLE (Modular Lightweight Load-carrying Equipment) is a system for attachment of tactical equipment, used for example in backpacks or tactical vests. It provides the possibility of flexible and modular placement of various accessories and pockets, which allows personalization and optimal adjustment of the item to the specific needs of the user. It is widely used by the military, special services and survival and outdoor enthusiasts.
PALS (Pouch Attachment Ladder System) is a modular mounting system for pockets and pouches, used in the MOLLE system. It consists of horizontally sewn rows of 1 inch (25.4 mm) wide, fixed spacing webbing (such as on a backpack) and vertical webbing for attachment and threading (on a pocket). This system is usually equipped with snaps, which further secures the pinned items.
