Additionally, the backpack was tested once in the mountains and so far it performed well; we will see how it does on future trips and hikes. Of course, apart from the drawbacks, it has plenty of advantages, for example it is very spacious and roomy, and I was hugely impressed by how much it can hold, for example in the main compartment, and especially in the top of the backpack, even packed to the absolute maximum, when it would seem that nothing else could possibly fit, and yet it was a very positive surprise how much it is able to take in, although at the cost of weight. Well, yes, but that is always the dilemma, the decision... something for something: either weight and discomfort, or slightly better comfort but less weight. At times, however, one gets the impression that, despite everything, although the materials are reasonably good for the price, the fabric may not be rubbery or elastic, but it is relatively good at expanding in terms of compartment capacity. Another advantage is the numerous compartments, well arranged organizationally so that access is quick and easy. Another huge plus is the way the upper part, let us say the stiff collar, besides its very good compartment expansion to the absolute limit, is well thought out and designed in every respect, for example the zippers, MOLLE straps, etc., and next to it in the upper part there are 2 handles at the front and back for carrying the whole load, a very practical, helpful, brilliant, simple and effective solution. The compartments themselves, as well as the rest of the backpack, in contrast to the previously mentioned imperfections in particular elements, are much better finished, very well sewn and made of material of equally good quality. It should also be added that, besides looking good, the backpack has numerous systems very well arranged and applied, such as MOLLE/PALS webbing, Velcro, cords holding, for example, a sleeping bag, as well as well-designed and well-applied two-way zippers, external compartments, etc. If someone has a specific budget and is not too demanding, then at this price it is really worth recommending; despite minor imperfections, it can definitely be a good choice for them.
