The backpack itself is a nice, usable backpack. The only thing I'm missing is a chest strap. However, the additional pockets cannot be attached as shown in the pictures. I was able to improvise with the side pockets, but with the lid pocket and the extension for the climbing helmet, I have no idea how that could work. I bought the backpack because I wanted a modular backpack that could be used from an afternoon hike to an overnight stay thanks to additional pockets. Unfortunately, that's not possible. Because - as I wrote - some pockets cannot be attached, others (no MOLLE attachment) are not quick but take a long time to attach or remove. Combined with the seller's return policy (the cardboard labels with the plastic cord must still be attached, which of course is the first thing that comes off when you try to attach the bags), it is an expensive mistake and 3 stars is flattering.
The backpack itself is a nice backpack for day trips. I would have liked a chest strap. The straps slip through relatively easily. Unfortunately, the extension system is rubbish. The side pockets are fiddly and not quick to install. They dangle on the backpack when you attach them as intended. I had to improvise to make it solid. I'm still wondering how the extension for the head of the backpack and for the via ferrata helmet is supposed to work. The items supplied have fewer straps than the instructions...
