Mardingtop 50L Hiking Backpack,Backpacking Backpack with Rain Cover for Hiking,Backpacking,Rucking,Camping,Survival

So I am not an ultralite backpacker and this pack is not meant for ultralite backpacking/thru hikes. It's not too heavy and there are a lot of adjustments that can be made to fit your body so the pack adjusts perfectly to your body.Pros: I like that all of the straps have tail holders. It's a stupid thing to get excited about, I know. But I hike mainly in heavily wooded trails and it's nice not to have tails hanging and getting snagged on thistles and thorns.Super durable. I have put around 150 miles on this pack since I bought it. It's a good trail pack and it's really durable. It's been beaten up by me and still holds strong. None of the stitching in the shoulders have loosened at all and the draw strings and straps are still holding tough.Quick release straps. Another thing that's really stupid to get excited about but I like me some quick release straps. I'm constantly overworking and by the time i find a place to settle for lunch or bed down for the night I want to get to my gear and food fast. That's not a problem with this bad boy.Roomier than the back seat of a prom night Cadillac. You can fit a lot in the bag. I mean a lot. It's got retention straps for poles on the outside, it's got retention straps on the bottom for a tent or pad or civil war wool blanket if you're in to that kind of thing. The brain fits a lot inside there too. Mesh pockets on the side hold a lot too. It's a big ol bagCons:The only real complaint I have is it's not really at all as breathable as advertised. It's not uncomfortable but your back can get really warm really quick. I typically fill my water blatter with ice cold water and put it in the sleeve that's conveniently asking the back cushion. Helps a lot with the breathing problem.

Great backpack!10/5/2017Steal for the buck. Let me be honest, this is not maxpedition or military grade backpack. Don't expect a $450 quality backpack by paying $70. This is a modern everyday backpack with some military and backpacking technology added to it. I'm intended to use this has a hiking pack and I'm pretty sure it will hold up, I've used cheaper backpacks that had hold on and this will not be a exception. this is not has good has a kelty or a gregory, but will do it's job. The fabric on it is medium wear resistant and light weight. The back pack is BIG, but with the straps you can adjusted to be a little more discrete. Love the military look on it and the color. The buckles seem normal, again not military grade if that is what you are looking for, I really don't think they are going to snap at all, but will edit the review if they do.The suspension system is nothing to be amazed by just a regular well functional one, straps are comfortable and well made, no stitching issues that I noticed. and finally the yellow reflective cover is snug, well measured and keeps the backpack 100% dry (With the exception of the straps obviously).I would put 4 stars out of 5 for quality concerns if I had payed like $150 for this backpack, believe me for $70 (That is what I payed) you are getting A LOT!I don't know who I will help with this review, but if you are a amateur outdoor enthusiastic I think this backpack is a excellent upgrade to your Jansport piece of crap backpack XD, no offense!Regards and happy buying!

YKK are some of the best zippers so I was happy to find an affordable pack with the right zippers and the design is great. There's a zipper for easy access into the bottom of the pack and lots of options with the wrong to strap extra stuff, and the fact that it comes with a rain fly is excellent. Light weight pack, good materials for a good price. Highly recommend.The only thing I'd change is for them to put some foam pads in the hip belt

This is a good pack! It's got a large compartment that can be accessed from the middle or the top of the pack. You can attach molle gear to it if you need more pockets. It's rugged and inexpensive. I've taken this pack on a few 2 and 3 day hikes. The straps are fully adjustable like on many high end packs. It is light rain resistant and I found that out unexpectedly as most weather on the trail. Which is great because it gives you time to put on the rain cover or seek shelter.The only downside is the buckles slip a lot and require constant adjustment. But you can fork out a few bucks at REI and get decent replacement on the main straps to solve this problem. No issues ever since.Who is this pack for? It's for anyone not trying to break their wallet. It's for anyone like me doesn't need a dozen little useless pockets. I keep everything in small waterproof bags to help keep my pack a as floatation device for stream fording.Who is it not for? Anyone needing multiple pockets for storage and absolutely critical about weight. This pack isn't heavy, but it's not light compared to other packs in its class. Just do more push-ups and squats and get stronger problem solved.

I just traveled for 5 days off this one backpack and it held everything I needed. I put all my smaller things into soft packing cubes, and put the cubes in the backpack The zippers are perfect, the shoulder straps are strong but very soft, i had Molley pouches hanging off the waist straps to hold things I needed very frequently.I would buy another one of these backpacks in a heartbeat if this one ever got lost or stolen, no regrets! I love it and would recommend it immediately.Since the main compartment is a huge sack, i strongly recommend buying soft packing cubes to keep all your different types of clothing sorted, rolled up, and separate.

This is my second Mardingtop purchase, I also own the 75L backpack which is also great. Love all of the features and MOLLE attachment points to add more gear and packs to the outside for expansion,
