The backpack lacks a hip belt or mounting points for one, limiting additional stability when carrying heavier loads. The reviewer found the 35-liter capacity large enough for substantial quantities of clothing and travel essentials. The paracord strap keepers provide effective adjustment and additional mounting points for accessories, according to the reviewer.
Four substantial handles give the reviewer several convenient ways to move the large backpack over short distances. The padded back panel doubles as a wide luggage pass-through, which the reviewer considered suitable for the backpack’s large capacity.
