If I could wear this backpack on a night out around town I would! (Walked past a group and overheard them comment how nice the bag is) It is a perfect fit with tough robust material and quick access to my packing system. (Side access) The material is awesome, you just know when it’s tough, it’s tough! Shoulder straps seemed flimsy at first but they are smallish and seem unnoticeable when wearing.  I took the back reinforced liner out as it felt too rigid thus making it snug to my back. It is fully waterproof, tried and tested with no cover. It seems to have no restrictions to how much day packing gear it can hold but suitable for all the necessities needed in wild weather. Top loaded roller pulls tight giving confidence on keeping my gear dry too. The side zip does not open as much as I’d liked but does give full access to top, mid and  bot areas internally. My camel back was a bit tight in the sleeve so opted to put this on the outside edge. The zip on top is of high quality and had no penetration issues.  The pros… • bone dry • stylish • ergonomic fit • light  • good for external items  • roomy but not bulky The cons… • limited access into side zip • limited access into top zip (big hands) • waist straps are fiddly to pull tight • when packing, the top lid seems to flop and get in the way.
