## Our verdict

### Reasons to buy

-   Extremely lightweight weighing less than a kilo.
-   Can be packed when not in use which makes it a good emergency or secondary bag for your activities and travel.
-   Effective harness system as it allows good ventilation and the load lifters equally distributes the weight of the entire thing.
-   Truly weatherproof. Your things are kept dry even if there's an unexpected downpour or accidental submersion in the water.

### Things to consider

-   The straps feels breakable if the weight of the load is too heavy and it doesn't have any padding.
-   On the expensive side for this type of bag.
