It looks cool and is spacious, but it doesn’t stand upright well when set on the ground and is not very rigid. It keeps falling forward. The zipper pullers are low quality and break under slight pressure. The zipper itself often jams. If it were cheaper, I would give it 4 stars.

This is a review after a few months of use, mainly for work. The backpack is very spacious and looks very good. The main zipper is a bit problematic to open, as it's on a slant. There are two spacious pockets at the front, two side ones perfect for a water bottle, and one pocket inside. The backpack is not rigid. The back is well made and a bit reinforced. The straps are comfortable and can be fastened. Lots of straps and holders. It's comfortable to carry, but unfortunately not suitable for use in the rain, unless it's new. The interior is lined with a rubber coating, but after prolonged and frequent use it cracks, and the material becomes see-through. If it weren’t for the inner coating, it could be perfect.

The backpack seemed like a great choice, but after a trip to Berlin, the zipper broke. At this price, it’s a joke because I expected quality for that much money, not something cheap from China.
-
The main compartment zipper did not survive a one-day trip to Berlin. Definitely, the backpack is not military grade but more for a student with a laptop. The product itself met my expectations.
-
After my previous backpack 'retired,' I decided to go for something that catches the eye with its design. Besides the cool look, the backpack has quite a large capacity and you can pack for a day trip without any problem. However, the technical solutions used are at least questionable—the buckle securing the main compartment gets in the way when unzipping, and it's a bit better after unclipping it, but the plastic parts attaching it still interfere with the zipper. The two external pockets add a lot of functionality but are very shallow, and the zippers are so narrow I have trouble fitting my hand inside even though it's not big. Additionally, the rubber parts hooked on the reflectors 'go inside.' My biggest concern is the main compartment zipper—when using it intensely (packed to 80%), after a month, the zipper is already starting to catch, and one tooth is bent—I don't expect it to last long. Overall, a capacious backpack with interesting design but questionable technical solutions and rather weak materials. If it survives (which I increasingly doubt) a year, I'll consider the money well spent.
-
Super backpack, both the appearance and the quality of craftsmanship are very good. Its color matches a lot of outfits. Stable, spacious, easy to carry, and we can attach many additional accessories. I recommend it!
-
I rate the backpack at 4/10. As a handy, quick 'go-to' backpack and for an easy walk, it's fine, but after a year it wore out quickly. It seemed quite functional at first, but turned out to be impractical in practice. I won't buy it again.
-
Very good backpack, nicely made. Very versatile usage; fishing, cycling, running, an excellent walk in the forest—it performed well everywhere so far. I highly recommend this great backpack.
-
I've had the backpack for about a year. It fully does its job. It can handle a load of several kilograms and the seams and zippers still look fine. Worth its price. There is quite a lot of adjustment, and the shape fits the back well. I personally use it every day and can recommend it. The material looks like new even after a year.
-
Bought for my wife for forest and mountain trails, and it does its job very well. Surprisingly spacious, enough pockets. Time will tell how long it will last. Overall, quality, workmanship and functionality are adequate for the price.
-
The backpack is suitable for everyday use. It does have a few downsides. The metal handles for the zipper pulls just broke off when more force was applied. You have to replace them with a cord handle (as seen in the photo). The two front pockets are not very deep, and when the main compartment is full, it's hard to get anything out of the front ones because they get pushed from the inside. I used the backpack a lot for shopping, often loading it to the weight limit, and had to struggle to close it. After 11 months, the zipper broke—it is only sewn to the backpack material. It’s worth its price, but if you plan to use it heavily on a daily basis, consider if it’s the right backpack for more than just one-day trips. After 11 months of intense shopping, you can already see a transparent spot in the material (also in the photo).
-
Very good price-to-quality ratio, plus it is sleek and well-made. Great backpack for building a BOB (bug out bag), the right capacity, the entire compartment opens up. At this price, it's not a big deal if it just sits around waiting for tougher times.
-
I was looking for backpacks to pack basic BOB sets and leave in the closet. I chose this model because of its very good value for money. I can’t rate it below 5 stars. It fit the capacity I was looking for (20-25l) and could be opened like a suitcase, which was important. Besides that, it's a quite neat and well-made city-tour-picnic backpack.
-
I've had the backpack for almost a year and the only problems I've encountered are the rather stiffly working zipper on the main compartment and the fact that I found out about an identical offer for this backpack from China for over half the price, on a local promotion that is basically always available.
-
Overall, it's ok. Since I'm a very demanding customer, I give it a 4/10. Small number of pockets, the laptop barely fits, thin material, not enough space. For me, this is a backpack for a year.
