This monster of a bag was an exchange from the Deuter Trail Pro 30 sl women’s 2019 pack. It is absolutely huge. I was so exited to get my hands on this pack and put it to the test. First off, i specifically chose this pack not only because it’s unique u-zip but the mere aesthetics. It has a great color-way. It claims a 45lb maximum carry which is perfect because I carry everything but the kitchen sink. In my load I had five 32oz Nalgene water bottles, a large 11x8x6 toiletry bag, a diaper clutch style Bag, headlamp, gloves, sunscreen, bug spray, hand sanitizer, sunscreen, pouch 1: instant coffee, tea bags, electrolyte powders, water treatment tablets, etc and pouch 2: several cliff bars, kind bars, larabars, rx bars and applesauce squeezers, etc. My loadout, bag included, 27lbs with room to spare. A 32 oz Nalgene will not only be swallowed up in the side mesh pockets but in the front vertical pockets as well. I hauled this pack around for four days. Day 1: 3miles. Day 2: 6miles. Day 3: 6miles. Day 4: 4 miles. This backpack was NOT comfortable, but I was far from home and had to deal. I rearranged gear each and everyday. I really wanted this pack to suite all my needs. I liked the colors. I liked the materials. I liked the front vertical pockets. I like the daisy chain. I like the roll top.
Dislikes
I was not crazy about the sternum strap attachment ends. They are difficult to adjust with the pack on. I prefer a sternum strap that slides and the hip belt pockets were a snug fit for my iPhone XR. Of course I exchanged this pack for yet another bag. Hopefully 4th time a charm.
