This is a truly excellent travel bag that fully deserves its name. As usual with Helikon Tex, the build quality is at a very high level, and the biggest advantage is that it can be completely unfolded, so it can serve as a mat or a groundsheet. It definitely stands out for its excellent value for money, as well as its features and solid workmanship.

The bag is huge, for civilian use for people who have trouble limiting themselves when it comes to what to take. It also seems durable and seems like it can still carry the amounts you manage to pack into it for some time. The straps seemed unnecessary to me, but in practice, when the bag was heavily loaded, they made it much easier to carry it up a narrow staircase.

A solid and large bag. Convenient both for packing and carrying. It will allow you to easily pack and unpack for a longer trip. The zippers and material are of very good quality.
