I used to rate this 3 stars but after my backpacking trip decided to change it to 5 since my main issues with it weren't as big of a problem as I thought they'd be. I hiked most of my Half Dome hike with this pack and it was great. The pack fit me perfectly at the maximum adjusted torso length of 21.5" even though my torso is 19" (I'm 6'0" and 185 lbs).Pros:-Very durable material-Simple design and fashionable-Comfortable and (somewhat) nice adjustments -- see below-Seemingly waterproof or at least water resistant w/o the rain cover-Well-hidden hole for hydration bladder hose and nice pouch (see below)Cons:-My torso is 19" and this supposedly supports up to 22" -- yet the hip strap doesn't fully reach my hips AND its only adjustable up to 21.5". This ended up not being a huge deal because once the backpack is packed and has some weight in it the hip strap reaches around my waist fine at the maximum length. **This could be a problem with people who have torsos bigger than 19". Remember the hip straps are supposed to hug your hips, not your stomach.-I didn't find any use of the side zipper for the main pouch and ended up just zip-tying the zippers together (not a big deal tbh)-Hydration bladder might be squished by your gear if you pack this full (maybe just a problem with hydration bladders in general -- just an observation). There is a nice slot for it.Start out with the only negative. The main compartment zipper can be a little challenging to zip based on the design of the compartment.Plenty of storage, and it's a light pack. Feels like it will last. Love how i can put my hiking sticks on the sides for easy access. I wish it came with a hydration pack; i had to buy that separate and it worked fine. Love how adjustable this is, with the shoulder straps and straps around the hips. This will be one of my go to bags for traveling, not just hiking.I used this backpack in an extended tour across SE Asia (Thailand, Cambodia, Korea) and it was the perfect bag for me. The size easily held everything I needed, was comfortable on extended hikes or long rides on public transit, and fit in the overhead bin on the flights I took. The bag took a beating and is still in great shape. I love this bag!Wow what a great pack! Got this for my sons Boy Scout hikes. It holds everything and then some, without being too big. The hip and shoulder straps are great well made. Comes with a rain cover.Waited too long to return...The top opening is too narrow and for liter size I seem to have trouble fitting as much as old Craig bag in size. Bought on sale, too late to return. Strap set up is solid, so it has thatLet's start with quality appraisal:All the fabrics seem quite durable.All the stitching is perfect.YKK zippers are known for being long lasting and snag freeAdjustable height chest strapSome nice touches like venting on the shoulder straps that goes through the padding.Overall the build quality feels very good. Comparable in quality to other high end branded backpacks like REI, Marmot, Kelty, etc.So let's talk about design:A 25L pack is too small to be a weekend pack for anyone but the most ultralight backpackers. That means this is a daypack. You can also tell that it isn't meant to carry heavy loads. There are not shoulder tension adjustment straps, the hip straps are very minimalist and don't come far enough forward, the framesheet is flexible and has no rigid components, the padding in the shoulders and back are minimal, the waist buckle is small, only one water bottle pocket is large enough to fit a 1L nalgene water bottle. But lack of features you would need for bigger heavier loads makes this pack lighter and take up less space when stored.Really the only feature I wish it had kept from larger packs is a better waist belt. This one doesn't go very far around the front and is super thin on the padding.So for a daypack this is really built like a peak bagging pack, something you can shove your layers and a lunch in and hike up a small mountain and back. Not a ton of pockets. Just a main space, a little sleeve to shove a hydration pouch, a pouch in the top flap (aka brain), a jacket stow pocket on the back, a cliff bar sized pouch on the hip belt, and two water bottle pockets on the sides. It has a side zip entry that seems like it would belong in a pack that was this design but bigger, the main pocket seems small enough to get at stuff with just the top entry.I personally like my day packs to be a little more versatile. A sleeve for a laptop when I'm running around in cities, a secondary main compartment with some built in zipper pouches to organize stuff, and a main compartment that opens up like a clamshell. But this pack may appeal to people that like a more streamlined design that will not have to remember where they put their stuff because stuff smaller than your fist goes in the top flap, your jacket is shoved in the outside, your water bottles are on the side, and everything else is in the main compartment. Lack of options is simplicity.Zaino Spettacolare, consigliatissimo, nonostante i 25 litri sembra ben più spazioso di 25l, ci ho messo dentro, borraccia, imbrago, kit ferrata, casco, 10 metri di corda, una giacca hardshell un kit di primo intervento e c'era ancora posto per del cibo e anche una macchina fotografica.Molto comodo sulla schiena senza appesantirla troppo, il peso si distribuisce molto bene e sta ben attaccato grazie alle numerose regolazioni, le spalline sono molto comode e non si sentono troppo sulle spalle.I materiali sono di ottima fattura, ci sono le due retine laterali nelle quali si possono mettere la borraccia, che non casca fuori, e piccoli oggetti, il secondo comparto sul retro è utilizzabile anche come portacasco, ma ovviamente lo zaino non deve essere troppo pieno.Ho comprato anche la copertura antipioggia per sicurezza, ma che purtroppo è a parte.In ogni caso un ottimo zaino e lo consiglio molto, buone avventure ?Ich habe mir diesen Rucksack für meine drei Wöchige Backpack-Reise zugelegt. Wo soll ich anfangen... der Tragekomfort ist absolut top. Der Rucksack lässt sich stufenlos verstellen und drückt an keiner Stelle. Für mich war die Größe ebenfalls perfekt. Es gab nie Probleme und ich habe immer alles mitbekommen. Auch nachdem Souvenirs und der gleichen dazugekommen sind. Mir ist bewusst, dass diese sehr subjektiv ist und von Person zu Person variieren kann. Demnach muss man gucken ob einem 45 L reichen. Voll gepackt hatte er immer noch ein angenehm tragbares Gewicht. Von der Qualität bin ich ebenfalls überzeugt. Von mehreren Innlands- sowie Langstreckenflügen bis hin zu Zug- und Bussfahrten hat der Rucksack alles mitgemacht und weißt bis her keinerlei Qualitätsmängel auf. In der untersten Tasche befindet sich ein Regenüberzug, dieser funktioniert tadellos und kam ein zwei mal zum Einsatz.Ich hoffe, dass der Rucksack mich noch auf vielen weiteren Reisen begleiten wird.Von meiner Seite aus eine absolute Kaufempfehlung!Zaino di grande qualità, molto comodo; una volta regolato lo schienale ed i tiranti degli spallacci il peso viene molto ben distribuito da sembrare ridotto. Diverse tasche e alloggiamenti interni ed esterni dove sistemare vario materiale. Ottima fattura e materiali. Testato per trekking sulla neve di 2 giorni, tutto perfetto. Qualità Thule indiscutibile.Assolutamente consigliatoZaino nel complesso molto buono! L'ho usato durante il trekking di una settimana sugli appennini. Ha resistito benissimo. Le tasche sono molte, quindi organizzandosi bene si fa stare parecchio materiale. Anche le tasche laterali con la retina per le borracce sono molto pratiche. Copri zaino per la pioggia incluso (fortunatamente mai usato quindi non so come sia). Sembra quasi non essere un 35 litri dalle dimensioni, sembra qualcosina di più, ma non ho avuto modo di testare la cosa.Ho avuto solo una piccola irritazione alle spalle dopo 3 giorni di cammino, ma probabilmente è dovuto al peso eccessivo del materiale all'interno dello zaino. Ho provato a regolare lo zaino e portare più peso con la schiena e bacino, piuttosto che le spalle, ma niente... nel complesso comunque ottimo prodotto! Consigliatissimo!Thule non si smentisce. Prodotto eccezionale nella qualità e nel design. Ottimo zaino per 1 giornata o due. Ci sta davvero di tutto e il confort è eccezionale. Infatti con le clip a livello vita e dorso si avrà la sensazione di un peso nettamente più ridotto. Per ora l'ho usato 2 volte ma ne consiglio l'acquisto se volete qualità top svedese e distinguervi
