This is a really nice size backpack. It's not ginormous as a lot of backpacking bags, yet not as small as a regular day pack. I would say it's not necessarily suited for serious backpackers, as it doesn't have a frame support, but it's probably good for beginners going on day trips or maybe a short-distance over-nighter. It's a nice size for me (I'm a small-ish woman); it's not too heavy or overwhelming. It's definitely not made like something from a famous outdoor store, but it'll do for casual use or just starting out. I like that it's really roomy and is also expandable. It has a lot of different pockets and sections for organizing. I've decided to use it as an emergency go-bag type thing, since we live in an area that is prone to storms. This is definitely roomy enough to pack things I may need if we have to evacuate. Since we would most likely be driving in an evacuation situation, I won't have to worry about how heavy I pack it. It's perfect for just such a scenario. Read more

This is well made and versatile. It’s comfortable and works well, but without a frame it would not be my first choice for long hikes across broken terrain. That said, I would definitely buy it again. For me just doing weekend hikes, this was a no brainer. Read more

Much better than I thought it would be for the price I paid. Using it as a bug out bag in a vehicle so I have not tried to carry it, now that it is loaded. Read more

When I ordered this pack, it didn't have any reviews on Amazon, so I took a chance on it with the great price point. I used this pack for a 3-day weekend camping trip. Kept it zipped at the bottom for the 70L option, and packed it to max. The pack held it all with ease, sinched up well, and kept everything dry through 20+ hours of rain (remnants of Hurricane Helene in Southern Ohio/Northern Kentucky). My tent failed and some moisture got in the tent, but everything in the pack stayed completely dry. The shoulder, chest, and hip straps all adjust easily and are comfortable when the pack is full. All of the zippers are YKK brand, with the exception of the large zipper on the bottom used for extending or collapsing the additional storage space. Overall, my pack weighed between 70lbs-80lbs, and was still comfortably packed in and out of our camping location, which was not near where we parked. I also used caribiners to attach an insulated metal water bottle and the tent to the exterior of the pack for ease of packing to and from our campsite. I still had two or three smaller pockets empty that could have housed additional items if needed, plus the top and bottom sinch straps if I needed extra space for other items. Overall, this pack performed well in extremely wet conditions, and I was glad I had it. I will be using it again on other hiking/camping trips, and would recommend it if you need a larger frameless pack for your trips. Items packed for this trip included: 1 regular sleeping bag, 1 high back collapsible camp chair, 1 4" air up sleeping pad, 1 towel, 1 travel pillow, men's toiletry bag, secondary travel bag equal size of toiletry bag, 4 t-shirts, 3 pair of shorts, 1 pair of pants, enough socks and underwear for 4 days, 3 different lanterns/headlamps, travel coffee cup, phone charger, reading glasses, 1 pack of baby wipes, 1 roll of toilet paper,1 pair of flipflops, wallet, keys, phone, light duty rain jacket, two hats, the included waterproof rain cover for the pack, and a few other small items.

Die Reißverschlüsse sind schlechte Qualität. Außerdem verliert man die Verschlüsse leicht. Der Rucksack ist definitiv nicht zum langen Reisen geeignet Read more
