| Overall: |
I'm an outdoor instructor so my kit takes a lot of abuse. I've had the rucksack for a couple of months now, and so far nothing has broken.
As I say above, it is not very waterproof, it has a zip which runs around three sides as opposed to the traditional top closing rucksack system. This zip has only a very small flap which tend to flip back and not dcover the zip - hence the lack of watreproofness. This does give easy access to the contents, however, this benefit is outweighed by the fact that everythinng has to be stuffed in poly bags to keep it dry... (There is no rain cover)
I'm a 5'3" female, and I find this pack very comfortable, the hip belt fits well, the straps are a little too wide for me, but the strenum strap solves that. |
