The backpack is excellent in all respects, but after just a few minutes of use, it noticed a few very small but annoying features that I don’t think should be in a quality backpack made for so long.
The biggest problem is that the tensioning strap that comes on top of the chest is really short and its adjustment margin in the up-down direction is quite small. I would strap it a little higher than what it is possible to get. I am now already adjusted the belt almost as long as possible, and a little afraid that eg. With a thick winter coat (I have not yet tried) adjustment allowance runs out. I am of average height, and I do not even very exposed cleavage man :)
Another annoying feature is found in the detachable extra pocket inside the backpack. Its zippered pocket is handy for small items, but the entire pouch is so swinging and delicately closed that handling the zipper requires two hands and concentration.
These problems are small but so striking that they are even more annoying. Otherwise, the backpack is great! It’s really spacious and a backpack of this size really light but still sturdy. Carrying heavy loads (approx. 10kg) is also really pleasant.
In spite of its shortcomings, the little I am satisfied with my purchase.
