"On the whole this pack has been excellent. I last used it for a 50-odd mile 3 day hike through the English Lakes that included some strenuous climbs. Fully loaded the pack remained very comfortable and stable. The shoulder and waist pads are very thick indeed which allow you to carry the bulk of the pack’s weight on your waist/hips."

"I am a big guy, 73" tall 270 lbs. I wear a size 56 jacket and have a 21" neck. I am in pretty decent shape for a 55-year-old guy and I have been enjoying hiking and backpacking for many years.

It has always been a problem for me to find a backpack that fit my long torso and big shoulders."

"Best 35l pack I've ever used. Light and firm enough. It looks beautiful, especially when it's packed well. Only its top opening is not as good as RT 25."
