Great bag love it
"Would recommend perfect day bag"
Great pack for kids or adults
"This is going to be a great pack for our 8 yr old son and later our daughter but is also an adult pack so versatile as a weekender/ flight carry on. Love the colour!"
Great bag! Comfortable too.
"Great bag! Comfortable too."
Great pack. Using mostly for
"Great pack. Using mostly for work. Very comfortable and fits a laptop, books, lunch bag and water bottle easily. Great selection of additional pieces to accessorise with it too."
Yellow
"Got on special so what an excellent deal! The bag itself was great, just wish it has more outside pockets"
Amazing 🤩
"Good size and beautiful color, perfect for used every day."
Game Changer with Style!
"A stylised take on a modern, utilitarian rucksack. It can easily fit all essentials for a day hike or two and is very comfortable and easy on the shoulders and back with good support and airflow. Brought it with me to Aongatete river hike and stuff were still dry even after a few splashes and ‘mishaps’ lol. The game changer though would be customising ‘YOUR’ backpack with the cool add ons! They might be on the pricey side but then again, not having them still makes this rucksack the best there is out there. Disclosure: I received a free Trailhead 20L backpack from Kathmandu."
Awesome Backpack
"This is an awesome backpack. Fits heaps, light weight and comfortable to wear. Great accessories, I have added pouches and badges. Has become my go to bag for carting my running gear. Disclaimer: I was supplied with a free Trailhead 20L backback by Kathmandu"
Great bag
"Just one word: great"
