What do you think about that?
This is what customers from around the world say:
The backpack is so full of unnecessary stripes and tapes that are hanging all over the bag, they are super long and flying all around the backpack when you are wearing it. It also looks super messy. They are not needed, this is so old school and looks very cheap. There are so many minimalist pro bags like Arcterix, black diamond etc that only have a few stripes and solve the problem of making sure they are not in the way of your activity.
Another reason I can never use this, is because when you tighten the stripes so the bag fits to your body and back, the backpack lifts up really high in the back and it even touches half of my head, feels like you can lean on it. It is not meant to be that way, it would be so annoying to feel the edge touching my head especially if you are mountaineering or doing something that requires complete comfort and focus on the activity.
There are a few things good to mention about the backpack, but the above are made too poor to even rate the rest well.
