Product Customer Reviews
Incredible bag, I was shopping with quite a high price range and I didn't find anything that made sense more than this. The only thing more expensive bags added for me would be durability (this bag is good enough that it'll still last and can still take quite a beating even as a hiking pack) so it's not enough to matter for me, attachment points, and different styles. This bag doesn't look bad at all, but nothing special to love. Anyways I could say what I love about it, but it's mostly just that it's exactly as advertised, comfortable to carry, good organization, great capacity, fits as a personal item, great for urban use and hiking alike. So I'll use this review for my feedback on what it lacks and what I'd like to see improved: 1) This is the main/only thing that actually matters to me: I can't figure out how to hook a hydration pack and keep it upright, maybe I'm missing something. This is important to me as it's the only feasible way to carry enough water for hikes and I don't want 3L of water bunching down to the bottom of the pack. 2) the material and stitching where it doesn't matter could be better. I don't really care because the material is good everywhere it matters. More than anything it's the looks. A bit shiny material and zippers. Example: the diamond thing on the front of the bag is lower quality. Zippers are good quality it's just the look of them, and some other material that makes it seem less luxurious. ie. it's all good but I'd pay gladly 1.5x the price to improve material quality in certain areas. 3) This is just an extra improvement but I'd like a way to button/clip or tuck the straps so that they're not as loose/flappy when they're not in use. Then I'd consider adding a side strap but they'd have to lose a water bottle/umbrella pocket on one side to do that so maybe it's just me that would want that. So 8.5/10 not considering price but 10/10 when considering can't imagine finding anything close to this anywhere close in price, and would really have to find something perfect to consider spending more (at this size for these purposes, for ultralight extreme camping I could see other features/designs/materials being worth spending extra for some)
very comfortable to wear. lots of pockets and compartments.
Very comfortable and spacious with lots of space, perhaps the laptop compartment should be larger and with the seam all the way to the bottom.
I bought it when it was on sale. It's a very useful bag. I had no problems with the zipper parts.
I used it for work and I'm very happy with the purchase. This backpack is good and durable.
Ideal for both school, sports and travel, very successful
Perfect for a weekend away. Plenty of pockets and enough compartment for 2 to 3 days.
very good.
I am very pleased with the backpack, universal
I am very satisfied with this very practical backpack with all its pockets, it follows me everywhere in my daily life, it is of very good quality 👍
I bought it to use it both for sports and social life. But it was too small for sports. So I will return it. I never used it. It has a sturdy laptop compartment. I think it is a perfect work or school bag.
As a frequent traveler and mother of a high school-aged child, I have used countless bags but I have never used such a successful, durable, functional and magnificent bag. I bought 2 and bought them and gave them as gifts. Congratulations.
Super solid workmanship. Lots of compartments and pockets for small items. Backpack for a 2-day trip. I recommend it 100%.
Perfect for hiking and even for everyday use.
Very comfortable, not heavy to carry even when fully packed

How is volume measured?
The volume of each backpack is measured using a standard method: we fill the main compartment, as well as each pocket, with little balls. Then, we empty these balls into a graduated container, which gives the equivalent volume in litres.The main bag’s volume capacity is 23 L. We have measured the volume with the 2 water bottle outer side pockets, its total capacity reaches 25 L.
Your comfort above all
To fully enjoy your hikes, we put comfort at the heart of our product design.The back, shoulder straps & handle are comfortable because of their thickness and construction composed of different types of foam padding covered with a 3D mesh to improve ventilation & drying.The chest strap has cushioning, & its height and width is adjustable.- Back: 5 pads made from 2 types of foam (PE - PU) 15 mm thick,- Shoulder straps made from 2 types of foam (EVA - PU) 8-13 mm thick.
14 pockets and 3 compartments to keep you organised
- 3 compartments with numerous pockets (14) to separate and organise all your belongings,- 1 secure zipped compartment, including 2 pockets for a 15” laptop and 13” tablet, raised to avoid impact,- 6 zipped pockets, 1 6.8” phone pocket (left strap),- 2 extendible, covered bottle holders,- 1 organiser and 1 key holder,- 1 lamp holder,- 1 suitcase attachment strap.
Waterproofing
The components of the bag are water-repellent so that you can temporarily continue walking/hiking in light rain. Caution: this backpack is not watertight/waterproof and it does not have a rain cover. If you want to continue walking/hiking in the rain and protect your belongings, we recommend the following model: “20 to 40 L rain cover”, which can be viewed on our website, item reference 8734213.
Outer dimensions
Height : 46 cm | Width: 28 cm | Thickness: 22cm. This bag can be used as cabin baggage for a plane trip as its dimensions meet airline (IATA) requirements. We recommend that you contact your airline for details of the size and weight restrictions on cabin baggage.
Tested for optimal durability
To ensure the bag is strong enough, we conduct laboratory tests on the components and seams, which replicate the long-term wear and tear that the backpack will endure.For example, for a fabric, we test the resistance to abrasion and tearing, the colour fastness when exposed to UV light and washing, and the waterproofing. We use these tests to guarantee the bags for a period of 10 years from the date of purchase on the receipt.
How to adjust your backpack?
- Loosen all the straps, shoulder, stomach and chest,- Put the bag on,- Buckle the chest strap, adjust the height and width,- Tighten the shoulder straps (top to bottom),- Adjust as needed.It’s adjusted!
How to fill your backpack?

Pack your clothes around these items;- Place small items for daily use (phone, sun cream, map, glasses, keys, wallet, etc.) in the pockets ;- Water bottle(s) will go in the outer side pockets intended for this purpose.
