BerghausUnisex 24/7 Backpack 30 Litre

I put this 30 litre backpack through its paces, and overall, it’s a robust and highly capable bag that lives up to the Berghaus reputation for quality.First impressions are strong. The backpack is well-made from durable polyester fabric that appears ready to withstand daily commutes or travel and adventures. The dimensions (52cm H x 35cm W x 16cm D) make it substantial without being overly bulky, offering a generous 30-litre capacity that's perfect for a full day's worth of gear.The thoughtful design and storage layout is largely effective. There are two large zipped compartments, which are the main workhorses of the bag.The primary zipped compartment is impressively spacious. It easily accommodates my 17”laptop in the dedicated large internal pocket. I also appreciated the small Velcro loop, it's simple and perfect for securing a keyring.The second zipped compartment offers additional organization with one medium and two smaller pockets. This is where I found a minor potential improvement: it would have been incredibly helpful if these internal pockets had zips or Velcro closures. Items placed in them, especially smaller ones, could easily fall out into the wider compartment if the bag were jostled or laid flat. There's also a useful plastic ring in this section, handy for clipping on small accessories or keys.This backpack really shines in the comfort department. The Flowback system, with its extra breathable, vented-foam design, lives up to its "Breathe Easy" promise. Even on a warmer day with a moderately loaded pack, my back felt significantly less sweaty than with other backpacks I own. This ventilation is a great for daily use or longer treks.The height-adjustable chest strap ensures a snug and customized fit, which is crucial for distributing weight evenly and preventing shoulder strain. Plus, the backpack's compatibility with hydration systems means staying hydrated on the go is a breeze.For outdoor enthusiasts, the attachment points for walking poles are a fantastic addition. The two open side pockets are also great for quick access to water bottles or umbrellas.The product is a high-quality, versatile backpack that lives up to the Berghaus name. Its comfortable design, ample main storage, and thoughtful outdoor-friendly features make it an excellent choice for both urban commuters, travels and adventurers. While the lack of closures on the internal pockets in the second compartment is a minor oversight, it doesn't detract significantly from what is otherwise a very well-executed product. If you're in the market for a durable, comfortable, and spacious everyday or day-trip backpack, this one is definitely worth considering.

Great backpack. I bought it in 2021 and it’s still going strong 4 years later. It’s durable with thick comfortable straps. Used as an everyday back pack to carry shopping so has been put through its paces in terms of the weight it can carry. Great value for money. I would definitely repurchase.

Excellent rucksack speedy delivery top seller

This was a present for our son whose previous rucksack had been a smaller version of the 24-7 line. He had used it everyday since he got it a few years ago and had stood up well to the demands he had placed upon it. Unfortunately the zip had gone on that and he asked for a replacement, preferably the same one. Given the nature of his job (RSPB Warden) he needs a quality rucksack that will see all forms of weather and will be roughly manhandled on a daily basis. Thus we decided to order this larger model from the same line. We found the cheapest version through Amazon via the Millets Marketplace Store.Absolutely delighted on all accounts.We were a little concerned with the lateness of our ordering, that it may not arrive in time but we neednt have feared. Delivery was super quick (three days from ordering in the week before Christmas) and we just used the standard delivery service. The package that arrived was one of those strong blue plastic envelopes whilst the rucksack itself was in a clear bag within that. No issues at all. To be honest I was very impressed with the service I received.The 30 litre size was a 10 litre increase on the previous model he had used although looking at the rucksack externally it didnt look it (at least to my eyes). However, when it came to be loaded, the extra 10 litres quickly became apparent. The bag still looked a similar size to his old one when on the back but he had packed everything he usually carried and so much more into it besides. Very impressive really. He also said that it felt very comfortable and strong with good zips that opened easily and gave the impression of quality. I guess only time will tell on that.All in all, from what I could tell and from my sons comments, I would say that this is a quality, mid-price rucksack, ideal for my sons needs, ideal as a commuting to work bag, ideal for a day trip away or a day of light walking rather than heavy hiking. So why the four stars and not five. Simple really. Had the rucksack contained a built in waterproof cover then it would have been given the extra star but it hasnt and so thats that. Now I know you can buy relatively cheaply waterproof covers as a extra but it would still hhave been nice to have one built into this quality bag.We are all walkers in our family and both our sons work in the ecological field so we regularly need good quality equipment. We are not a family of blind allegience to one particular brand like so many are today, but rather we seek the best quality for the job its required for. In this case - to date - the Berghaus 24-7 Plus is that bag. If it appears that its not then you dear reader will know as soon as I do.

Good rucksack at a reasonable price
