Good vid. A Brit fellow did a YT review of this pack several years ago. He stated that when the pack is fully loaded, it constantly slips down his back slightly so that he was constantly pulling the load lifters to keep it up higher. He also stated when the pack became heavy, the shoulder straps pinched the forward area of his armpits.

This has 90's rucksack written all over it so I can see why the comfort might not be the best

The pattern looks less loud than when it's new. Effective when faded and a bit dirty. Looks good.

i think all of the big rucksacks are good, if you don't load them to heavy. sometimes you have to carry a huge sleepingsystem and than you still have space for something else

@@RedBranchBushcraft Got you. I know SAVOTTA packs well, had the large around for a year, could not become friend with the roll closure top. So I gave it away. But besides my personal preference it´s a really good bag. High qualitiy and well made. So I switched to the SAVOTTA Jääkäri Medium (yes, way smaler, but it was intentional). This pack is now one of my prefered backpacks. Over all, I can recommend SAVOTTA packs much. bye Torsten
