The backpack is really well made, even though it doesn't look like it at first glance. Unfortunately, for me, it is a bit too big. When I bought it, it was written that it had 30 liters, now it has been changed to 38 liters. The backpack is spacious and sturdy, but too big for everyday use.

The backpack worked great both during travel, for everyday city use, and on short trips. Its 38-liter capacity is a good compromise – it’s not too large, but you can easily fit clothes, electronic equipment, and other small items. The thoughtfully designed opening of the main compartment makes access easier, which I especially appreciate when traveling. The material is sturdy, keeps its shape well, and the zippers and other elements seem durable. The shoulder straps are comfortable, and even with a standard load, carrying the backpack is comfortable. The Shadow Grey color is understated and matches everything. The only minor downside is that when it's fully packed, slightly stiffer back padding would provide better support.

My first impression is that it’s a huge backpack. I watched reviews of this backpack but didn’t realize how big it really is. I intended to use it for work, but it’s actually a bit too large for that. It’ll be good for traveling though, and it’s well described. It’s a really sturdy and spacious backpack, with nice features, I like everything about it. Inside, there’s an organizer, lots of zippers and pouches for small items, organizers, space for a laptop or tablet, or a water bladder, and spots for hook-and-loop attachable organizers. The back is stiffened, and it fits well on my back. The straps, in my opinion, are just average—nothing special, no chest buckle, and they’re oddly stiff, but during use they seem ok; I’ll need to test them longer. I was tempted by a promotion, because the regular price would be too much for me.

The product matches the description. The backpack does not attract attention from the outside. Unfortunately, it seems quite delicate, so I am very curious how long it will last during traveling.

Literally the most thoughtfully designed hiking backpack I have ever come across, for me it is perfect in every respect. I highly recommend it to everyone because it is worth the investment.

Great backpack. Well thought out. No unnecessary gadgets sewn all around. Made flawlessly. So far it works well for everyday use as well as for short trips. The only downside for me is the mesh insert. Too big for toiletries, too small for clothes. Yes, I know it has pockets, but try using them. In my opinion, it's unnecessary and just increases the purchase cost of the backpack. The backpack itself is excellent.
