At first glance, the backpack seems flimsy, but after getting to know it better, I wouldn’t even recommend it to my son for school to carry books, because its construction is very 'fragile.' To start, the way the straps are attached to the backpack is of poor quality, as becomes evident with heavier loads when they literally start tearing away from the back part of the backpack due to the stitching giving out. Another flaw is the material inside the backpack—the slippery one—which after prolonged use comes off, leaving only the main material, which lets water through freely. Then come the zippers—these aren’t even of average quality, but ones that not only split quite fast, but also, the stitching of the main compartment's zipper (since it’s used most often and most intensively) will start to detach from the backpack, and then you’ll need a cobbler or a bagmaker, but not everyone wants to take on this repair due to the material from which the backpack is made. The only plus is the good arrangement and size of the pockets—I was guided by this too—but I did not expect such low quality. For undemanding hikes and if you handle the backpack carefully, you will be satisfied, but if someone seriously intends to go to the mountains or for strictly military purposes, I do not recommend it.
