Review: I love it! - Very well designed backpack. It has everything right and in the right place. I'm a designer and I love climbing and hiking, and maybe except the bottom of the backpack that makes it fall to the front when put on the ground, it's my favorite one. It looks smart, it doesn't look too big, but you will be surprised how much you can put in there! The additional two straps in the front make the most heavy load to be cared effortlessly. This one was made of nylon (black with blue stretch), and much stronger than any other backpacks, even within the same type
Review: Great bag for any purpose - This is a great bag for day hiking and commuting alike. Really comfortable and the straps make it suitable for long hikes. Zips are of a good quality pocket sizes are great
