Best bag i ever have

By Edgardo

This bag is great. I don't usually like huge bags, but this one is very flexible and protects my gear well. I would definitely buy it again. It has plenty of compartments! And it's extremely comfortable even when carrying a lot of weight.

Not for me

This is probably one of the most high quality backpacks i’ve felt with great feeling accessories as amazing organization capabilities, but the dividers are kinda gimmicky blocking easy access and being hard to quickly take out with its advanced loop design. It’s also just not for me, it is like wearing my pelican 1510 on my back, may be useful if you’re taking a pelican hiking but still an awesome backpack.
