Oh god, where do I even start with this backpack...

First of all, let me start with the elephant in the room and say that the clips for the chest strap are backwards and "face" towards the arms instead of the chest. The straps are sewn in, so there’s no way to fix this, making the use of the strap impossible as it pulls the back straps inward and you can't even take a breath.

But let's start with the good things. The backpack has SPACE! It may be 50 liters, but it feels like it can hold a lot more stuff. It doesn’t have internal pockets, which I personally prefer, and it has 2 external pockets that are quite spacious for various small items that you can easily access.

Also... Hahaha, just kidding, there are no other positives! Just this! But there are a dozen negatives! Let's begin!

- The front lower zipper does not give access to the inside of the backpack; it has fabric sewn behind it and is essentially just another extra pocket. If you put something important at the bottom of the backpack and want to take it out, you have to search for it from the top!

- There are no side straps to tie things. They have been replaced by the 2 extra pockets. There are mesh pockets on the lower sides, but if you want to put anything more than a 500ml water bottle, you can't secure it in any way, and it will fall. Especially if you have put a lot of things in the side pockets and they have bulged. The mesh pockets become useless.

- On the back, everything is worse. We talked earlier about the chest strap, which made me facepalm when I saw it. Let's mention the rest. There are no load-lifting straps! You can't adjust the height of the back straps. You can only adjust their length, as if it were a school bag. Which is unacceptable for such a backpack.

- Also, the straps "tie" high up very close to each other and almost form a "V". Combined with the fact that there are no load-lifting straps, this is very bad for the neck, which constantly rubs against the straps.

- The hip belt is almost non-existent; it’s a strap that ties to 2, let's say, cushions that are so small they don't even reach your hips to stabilize the backpack. But even if they were bigger, the cushion is so thin that you feel it like a strap. Not comfortable at all.

- The frames of the backpack, which I can say I didn't expect it to have, are very thin and flexible, as if it doesn't have any. They offer absolutely nothing. The backpack stands upright even without them.

TL;DR The backpack is for CAMPING ONLY! To put your stuff inside to take it to the car and unload it at the tent. NOT FOR HIKING! I got it due to financial constraints for a hiking trip I wanted to take. I have never worn a worse backpack. I had school backpacks 25 years ago when I was in school that were more comfortable than this. If you want a backpack for a car trip or for commuting by bus/train, it’s good. Spacious and relatively light. For hiking/mountaineering, stay away!

P.S. I also ordered it in black/gold (as in the picture) and it arrived in blue.
