After visiting the Cotswolds in Kingston, and receiving some excellent help on picking the most suitable rucksack, I ordered this bag for my world challenge trip to Kyrgyzstan. Well what I can say is that 4 solid weeks trekking it was absolutely perfect for the job. It provided ample room for my sleeping bag, mat, food equipment, extra clothes, and tent equipment, and all of the handy storage compartments were excellent for being organised! The bag albeit looking swamp coloured and smelling now after my trip is structurally as good as new and I have no complaints. The bag felt like it supported my back creating good posture and the hip belt and chest strap were great for keeping the bag in the right place.
So overall GREAT bag, GREAT buy, GREAT advice, and GREAT fit!
