Lightweight bag with frame allowing real carrying comfort for a contained weight of 1150 g. . Impression of quality of materials. Do not forget to buy in addition the pockets for the belt! on the bag itself A single pocket containing two elastics allowing in particular to attach a water bottle on the front strap (see photo). The weight-comfort ratio seems ideal. Only one regret: There is no guide for the height adjustment of the straps: it is not cm. perhaps feet and inches??

Very good backpack. I have used with 18 kg weight in total and it's quite comfortable. It's very light (mine weighs 1150g). The frame is robust, and the hipbelt supports this weight without slipping. There is a big gap between upper back padding and lumbar padding which allows good airflow. Shoulder straps are narrower than other packs I own, but still feel comfortable with 18 kg. There is plenty of room inside the pack, for me it's enough room for 14 days food and equipment without re-supply. I also own an Osprey Aether 65, and this pack is bigger inside. The waterbottle pockets are huge, I can fit 3 x 1 litre bottles in each if I have to. There is a very handy small zip pocket for wallet and keys. There are some things which are a compromise. 1. There are no hip belt pockets - I have added one from Gossamer Gear that I already had. 2. It's impossible for me to get a water bottle out of the side pockets with the pack on - I will be buying a shoulder water bottle holder when I can. 3. The hip belt uses a hook arrangement, not a clip like my other packs. It works fine, I am just not used to it. 4. The pack material feels robust, but I think the waterbottle pocket mesh will suffer walking through scrub and bush, unless you are very careful. All in all, a very good pack, and I am very happy with it so far.

First trip behind. Worked as expected, i.e. good carrying capacity and surprisingly roomy thanks to the stretchy mesh pockets. The top tightening straps, which bring the chest closer to the back, tend to slip a little towards the neck, but it's not a problem when wearing. Only when wearing tights can you disturb them a little.
