Positive feeling after the first use. The backpack is not quite small, so it can hold the rig of a much longer trip, even for several months of adventure trips. Thanks to several compartments and pockets, it is possible to organize goods well and, for example, in a cramped bus, it was easy to take goods from a backpack at your feet.
It’s good to remember that the backpack isn’t light, so this isn’t for a gram filer. Not very heavy I haven’t tested the carrying properties yet, but the weekend trip with the camels looked good. The gray inner color makes it easier to find items when a black backpack would not otherwise attract attention. I would have liked the waist strap to be able to be pushed under the cushion to hide it out of use, but it still gets neatly against the back surface of the backpack and fastened with a locking ring, and it doesn’t hurt when carried.
Features that increase security influenced the purchase decision and seem thoughtful. Closing mechanisms can make opening more difficult, but they are optional for use.
