Women’s Hiking Backpack 45 L + 10 L - MT 500 Air

I have used this bag in 2 treks, and this is my second purchase of rucksack after buying a bag from amazon, I learned- padding on the straps is required but too much padding doesnot implies that carrying would be comfortable. the main feature in a rucksack bag is its weight ma

nagement. This bag has very good weight management, it has an outer frame that really helps in maintaining good posture while walking. the mesh on the back really helps to dry out the sweats on back while walking. The height adjustment is also fast and easy. the straps are very comfortable on shoulders and they also have holes so dry outs the shoulders too. Now the packing the bag- this bag has 2 features- one can pack the things like a sack- putting the things from the top and one can put the things inside the bag like the suitcase, this feature actually helps the beginners a lot. And as the bag opens like a suitcase also {front zip on left and right} one can easily take out or put things inside very easily without taking out other things. so the space management is great inside the bag. The two pockets on the sides doesn't merge out from the bag. the 2 bottles holder on both sides is very well placed to take out the bottle when walking. the top cover easily holds some essentials and can be used as a side bag. and the size extension is also very easy. So as a whole this is an wonderful rucksack bag. I bought 3 bags of different capacities and felt that the price spend is really worth for the bag as these bags are very easy to carry and even for long trails. My son age 11, walked from Bhujwasa to Gongotri carrying the 45 ltr version of this bag, he had his sleeping bag, jacket, etc. and he never complained about shoulder pain or too tiered to carry the bag.

I was able to adjust and pack all that I needed into this back pack. It has plenty of straps and pockets to give versatility. One of those rucksacks which you learn better how to pack, more efficiently, every time you use it. I am quite a small lady (Size 8/10 UK 164cm tall

). I was able to adjust the straps to make the harness and waist belt fit reasonably well and spread the load, so all the weight wasn't solely hanging on my shoulders and compressing my back. If I were smaller, I think I might look more towards a youths fit because it would be tricky to comfortably adjust for much smaller body. This is something those of us who are of smaller build (whether men or women) need to consider when buying a rucksack. The quality is good but it is lightweight, and therefore buckles etc are small and potentially open to crush damage. Comes with a rain cover, which I thought was a nice touch.

perfect for Duke of Ed expedition

None of the stores nearby had it in stock to try it on, so ordered online expecting the Decathlon quality of other items purchased for years now, but sadly the backpack ruined my one-day hike. Got back with sore shoulders and neck, mesh padding very cheaply made so rubbed into

my skin. Hip fins extremely rigid, dug into my hips no matter how l tried to adjust them. Lid weirdly sewn on frame, keeps hitting back of neck. Not a beginner, l know how to adjust straps, distribute weight and compress pack. Totally surprised by how bad this backpack is, while not the cheapest in its range. Now struggling to return, as didn't keep the tags, so probably stuck with it.

Wonderful rucksack

Excellent

If your budget is around 4k to 5k please consider spending a little and go for this beauty. Such a nice and compact piece. If you are a woman you can still go for this since it holds 5kg more than the women backpack. The color of the women backpack needs regular maintanance bu

t the color of this one will not be dirty very often.
