“Fast delivery. Very well packed in a box and came in a plastic bag. The backpack is well designed and uses high quality materials. Quite comfortable to wear. Thing to note when considering to buy is that this can be a bit heavy especially if you use up all the space. One small thing which irritated me was that the strap keeper for the chest strap seemed to be wrongly fitted. (Refer to last photo)”
