## Our verdict

### Reasons to buy

-   Has a comfortable harness system thanks to its breathable Air Pod System (APS) Light harness with climaticZONING which has adequate padding and allows good ventilation to your back.
-   Features a lot of attachment points for your outdoor gears and pouches.
-   Boasts superb craftsmanship and is truly durable.
-   The womensFIT technology makes this bag for women's bodies as it has a contoured hip belt with shoulder straps and a back length fit for them.

### Things to consider

-   Lacks water-resistance properties.
-   The top-loading design makes it hard to grab things that are located at the bottom when the entire bag is full.
-   Missing some compression straps.

## What reviewers said

-   "I brought this pack about 5 months ago and use it every day for work, whether I’m out setting traps on islands or bush bashing my way through a forest, this pack has been great! I cannot stress enough how comfortably it sits on my hips and shoulders when it’s either lightly or heavily packed. One feature that stands out to me is how it sits on my back, when I’m climbing up ridges or sliding down them it sits straight and doesn’t throw me off with the added weight. The space in the pack is also good, I can carry 2 liters, a first aid kit, lunch, extra layers, and other gear I might need in the field. Highly recommend this to any woman trying to find a comfortable and decent pack."
-   "Great purchase, needed to upgrade my daypack to one that was a good size and found this one to be perfect. Comfortable straps with lots of adjustable points to make it the perfect fit. Loads of storage pockets and plenty of room. Got it a little wet in the rain and held up perfectly."
-   "Very happy with the quality, the size is perfect I am 170 cm tall and this does not look big and bulky, when we can travel overseas again, this will carry everything I need for a month of travel. Can also be checked in. Went for an overnight hike up Mt Bartle Frere (the highest mount in Qld). Carried my food, supplies, sleeping bag, and water - very comfortable. Kathmandu also does a fitting for you when it is loaded."
