The Review:

This 70 litre pack is like the tardis. It seems to have never ending room in it.

It has three access flaps to the main compartment, through the top flap (as normal), a bottom access flap (handy for getting stuff out from the bottom without unpacking everything) and a centre flap which opens the whole front of the pack.

The pack sits high on your back and carries weight extremely well with the aid of a specialized padded waist strap and three sets of adjustment straps. You can adjust the waist strap, the shoulder straps and the pitch of the pack which really helps you get comfortable. The zips have large rubber loops attached to them enabling you to open the zips in large winter gloves with ease. The pack also has underarm pole storage loops. This enable you to attached walking pole to your pack without having to remove it.

It is a lovely large pack that is high quality and extremely durable. I have used this pack on a few long treks and have never felt uncomfortable in it. Cool looking design and range of colours adds to it appeal. It retails at £135 to £150 which is a fair price for a pack of this standard.
