This champ could basically fill it`s own channel. You belong to a tribe when sporting this one. It is a practical, solid, smart and cool pack! Enough space, lots of features and a decent pricing. The only downsides are actually that you belong to a tribe-instantly recognisable, probably also wearing merino clothing, exofficio boxers, north face/patagonia down-jackets, etc. and the
This unit commends respect! Maybe it is not that good for your back, but its the solid backbone of your
luggage. One big compartment (with a mesh pocket) in an indestructible, waterproof bag. It`s measurements might upset a flight attendant but when she sees how cool you both are, she will let you board with it. Don`t bring it on a multiday inca-trail (it lacks a decent backpannel/frame, but bring it when you go everywhere else!
Sometimes you instantly feel it- this is good shizzle! Strong pack with good straps, somewhat soft back (with internal laptop-area), some smart inner pockets, outer pocket and the military-style molle-loops (You could basically built out this `optimus Prime` into a monster by attaching molle-pouches.) which make it very versatile yet cool. It plays well with airlines (It was specifically designed to maximise packing space within the carry-on limits.) and can also be carried by its side handle. This pack is often overlooked but is definitely a winner! It only costs around € 80/$85 thus making it you new best friend. (desert/green/black)
This superhero goes everywhere with me! It`s internal frame combined with airy shoulderstraps and backpannel, it`s waterproof outer, pockets on the hip belts and meshing outer pockets to stash bottles and jackets make it a strong allrounder that works in both the green jungle and in the urban version. Look at it! It is apex-cool! Apart from the top-entry I would recommend it to everyone! Love you, baby!
