"Just the right size :)"
It's says what it does on the tin
"I wish I could recycle old Kathmandu Backpacks at Kathmandu, it would make me want to give them a 5 star. But anyway, it's a backpack, I can put things in it, I can take things out, I can carry it on my back."
Gluon Beyond Backpack
"Very happy, great bag, fast delivery"
Disappointed. lots of issues
"Disappointed. i have a kathmandu hybrid trolley and got this to travel. While it looked great it has no exterior drink holder (a big need as bottles leak and being inside the pack is a big no). T other issue is nowhere is there any instructions on how to attach the daypack to the hybrid trolley. And looking at youtube its not easy, pull this apart, take straps off etc etc. that leads to the third disappointment. The backpack straps have an open clip so the straps slide off and come unclipped, its crazy and unsafe."
