MOUNTAINTOP Hiking Backpack 80L Waterproof Mountaineering Backpack Large Camping Trekking Rucksack Multifunctional climbing with Rain Cover

Wow... what can I say. Starting with it arriving 3 days earlier than advertised, this bag is... probably built by the same people as built Dr Who’s police box!Loads of space in the main compartment, with extra if you pack out the snow collar. Cavernous too pocket which adjusts so you can pack something (sleeping bag, tarp, roll mat etc) between the snow collar and the ‘lid’.The side pockets look like they’ll be useless if the main compartment is packed but they still function perfectly. All hardware is sturdy but light weight. The YKK zoos can be a bit stubborn but I expect that’s because it’s brand new. Not so much as it’s inconvenience you.Love the built in rain cover, ample size and quick deploying. It can be detached and if you were to leave it detached you’d have another fair sized pocket on the underside of the bag.As for comfort, it is lighter than expected when empty. I’ve filled it but have no scales, so not sure how heavy it is, but it doesn’t bulge like the Bergen I’ve replaced with this. The plate and two aluminium poles that comprise the internal frame appear to be removable via a zipped compartment inside the main compartment.The stitching appears solid and complete all around however it looks strained in some places where I’ve (over)filled a pocket or two. However I gave it a pretty good tug before I loaded the bag and the seams didn’t give at all. The material isn’t as thick as the DD Bergen, but feels strong and doesn’t look like it’s going to give without the aid of something properly sharp and pointy.Once loaded I adjusted the 8 way torso length adjusted and loosened the shoulder straps to put it on. It felt lovely around the waist, but seemed to be sagging at the back, which was not a pleasant feeling as it was tugging at my shoulders. Luckily I found two more strap adjusters and when I pulled those tight, the whole pack was shifted close against my back and the weight disappeared off my shoulders completely. So take the time to adjust everything properly and you’ll find an excellent and confortable heavyweight cavernous bag!As a guide I’m carrying:-1 x Hammock1 x Underquilt1 x 3x3 tarp1 x 4 season sleeping bagTree huggers, whoopie slings, 30m spool of paracord, 4 x carabiners.1 x steel cylinder style camping stove1 x titanium bush box stove1 x Coleman performance gas canisters 440g1 x stacking cook set (pan, pot, accessories)T-shirts, shemagh, scrim scarf, 2 pair long johns, spare socks.Micro fibre travel towel.2 x collapsible cupsAssorted plastic pots/cutlery/coffee bagsFire kitTrowelCollapsible stool.Head torch.The only thing I can’t get in there is the spare gas canister, but I don’t really need it with the two multi fuel stoves! I think most experienced wild campers would probably agree the bag can hold more than is actually needed quite adequately!Definitely buy it!

HUGE backpack that could quite possibly keep everything INCLUDING the kitchen sink inside. I bought this backpack for a camping trip/hike. It was loaded to the gills with everything we "thought" we would need - purely on the basis that there was so much room left afte packing the essentials. Every part of the pack is well made with no unfinished stitching or sub-standard areas (even inside the pack). A small gripe would be that this is a little on the weighty side of things even when empty. This was only amplified further as it was filled and carried around for the weekend! It felt like i was giving my 2 children (10years & 12years) a piggy back - AT THE SAME TIME! I felt destroyed at the end of it. Little could be done at that time though as we had no other means of splitting the pack down to share the carry between us. It was a harsh lesson learned! So, although the backpack itself is more than capable of transporting around at full capacity - make sure the wearer is too! What seems manageable when you "try it on" and walk around the house for 2 minutes, isnt a great litmus test of doing it for real over possible uneven terrain for hours on end. We will be buying smaller packs to divide the load for the next trip! I have used it since with a more realistic weight and found it to be very comfortable with the customisable strap height etc. Good pack but beware of the cavernous volume in side and the resulting bulk of weight!

Good bit of kit, plenty of pockets, well laid out, sturdy and mega comfortable! I can’t believe the difference this made when carrying a little extra weight. It saved my shoulders and back from that burning pain. I don’t know what sort of weight it’s rated for but between stops (when carrying water) it was just over 25kg and the straps held fast. Previous packs we have had always seemed to loosen when carrying less! Only down side is it’s a little heavier but that is a small price to pay and something you expect with a framed pack

I ordered a few different bags to try and this one stood out by far as being of superior quality and I also love the little details it has, which just makes it really user friendly and very well thought out. I used the back to trackThrough the amazon jungle, with heavy camera equipment etc and it was extremely comfortable, usable and just an excellent quality bag. Very very highly recommended, Thank you!

Its quite simply the best rucksack I've ever had and will recommend end it anyone. Its a backpackers dream

Better then I thought. Plenty of pockets. Bit on the heavier side but it adds quality feel to it. Love the colour.

Shoulder straps are well padded and seems to carry everything as well as the kitchen sink!

Perfect for Dartmoor wild camping
