Review: Everyone's reviewed this so it's tips here. - This is well reviewed already so I'll give tips instead. Get help to fit it. It's fully adjustable from little gadgies to big cha is and if it's wrong it will not be fun fully laden. Start with the back length, put it on and do the waist belt and let out the padded waist supports if you need to. The pack should rest on the hips. Then cinch up everything else. If you plan on going out with a heavy load then do a couple of miles fully laden at home to see how it feels. Next is when the pack is filled don't tighten the compression straps too much since it bows the pack into you. Just very slightly nip them snug. The literature calls the bottom zip a sleeping bag compartment. Yeah you can, in fact you can get one in there and an inflatable mat and knee it in there tight and zip it up but I've managed a nortent Vern2 in it if you let the inside straps out - that way the weight is at the bottom (poles on the side pocket). Osprey go these little pocket pouch things for shoulder straps. Get one or two for this, great place for your phone and power bank, compass, keys etc and it offsets some weight from your back.
Review: Brilliant - Absolutely superb bag . It may be on the heavier side but that weight disappears once on . So supportive and distrubutes the weight evenly . A great buy .

Angenehm zu tragen, auch wenn er bis ans Limit fürs Festival gepackt ist. Top! ;) Die zusätzliche Möglichkeit ins Hauptfach über einen Reisverschluss vorne zu gelangen ist auch sehr praktisch. Regenschutz ebenfalls bereits dabei und Rucksack alles in allem super verarbeitet. Definitv Kaufempfehlung meinerseits.
