"I've only had this pack for a few months and it's great. If your kit is lightweight summer day walk then this is ideal.

The zip pulls are of a good size and easy to use. When loaded up it has a comfy feel to it, I would only use it in the summer or low level walks when you don't need to carry bulky clothing."
