I have been using this backpack (Tarfala 35L) for the first season. I switched from the Alpinus Lecco 30L. I rate backpacks of this brand very highly for the quality of workmanship, the materials used, comfort, ergonomics - the arrangement and number of pockets, and durability. I deduct one star for what I believe is an incorrectly stated capacity. The Tarfala is much less spacious than the Lecco, which, according to Alpinus, has a capacity of 30 liters. It is possible that the fault lies with the frame and mesh used (a very comfortable solution during summer usage) and the rain cover occupying the bottom pocket. Comparing these two backpacks and considering that the Lecco has 30 liters, the Tarfala does not have more than 25 liters of actual capacity. Apart from that, the backpack is excellent. I use it every day while cycling - 25 km. This is probably the most comfortable model I’ve ever had. The military "duffels" can’t even be compared to the Tarfala from Alpinus in terms of everyday comfort. I highly recommend it, but keep in mind the actual capacity.
Alpinus Tarfala Backpack 35 l - Black
Constructed from rugged 420D nylon, the 35-liter backpack offers exceptional durability. Featuring two spacious main compartments secured by reliable zippers, this pack is built for effective organization. The primary compartment includes three dividers for convenient storage of your equipment, while the second main compartment is equipped with a large divider designed to securely transport a laptop up to 47 x 24 cm or a tablet.
Numerous zippered pockets
Additionally, the pack features a compact front pocket, a top compartment, and a hip belt pocket—all secured with zippers—alongside dual elastic side pockets and an open front divider.
Comfortable carrying system, ADS ventilation system
Soft, padded shoulder straps offer adjustability in both length and angle, allowing for a customized fit. An ample hip belt and a chest strap promote even weight distribution. The chest strap buckle features an integrated emergency whistle. The ADS (Alpinus Dry System) ventilation system delivers optimal air circulation, significantly enhancing comfort during physical activities.
Compression straps, Integrated rain cover
Compression straps enable the backpack’s capacity to be minimized. Side elastic cords with stoppers provide attachment points for extra gear. Alpinus Safety reflective elements on the pack’s front panel enhance visibility in low-light conditions.
The Tarfala version also features an integrated rain cover for added protection.
