Perfect day trip backpack for streets and mountains
of Jakob, Brand Marketing, Blue Tomato, 15 Jan 2024
I am Jakob, 1.80 metres tall and use this bag as a day trip bag for hikes or ski days on the mountain. With a capacity of 25 litres, I have all my utensils perfectly stowed away and the bag fits snugly on my back.
I finally jumped on this bag because the shiny material in previous versions just never really appealed to me. I have used this bag on my recent mountain tours, both ski touring and hiking. The rucksack is particularly suitable for a day trip. Even though it doesn't look that big, it fits an incredible amount of things and can be packed very sensibly. All the organisation I need without too many compartments. I also love the opening as it is perfect for accessing while on planes, trains, and automobiles (between your feet) and the somewhat hidden outside pocket lines up perfectly to access while on one shoulder. Very practical for me is the small zip pocket on the outside of the rucksack to quickly stow small items. I also really like the laptop compartment as it has extra padding. My only suggestion is that the zippers be bigger so they side easier. I have to use two hands to guide the smallish zippers around the top flap of the backpack. Not a deal breaker, but inconvenient.
I would recommend this bag to anyone who wants to spend a day in the mountains with light luggage. But I think the bag is also ideal for the city, for example thanks to the padded laptop compartment and drinks holder.
