Wolffepack Summit Backpack 16 + 2L

Just came back from a week skiing with this and I am delighted. It took me a few tries to get the hang of the mechanism (you have to let the bag down all the way and then, when you pull it back up, you have to pull it continuously until the end - otherwise it will not lock) and also to create the muscle memory of where the magnet is to hook the handle, so you can replace it without looking. The instructions are very clear, you just practice a few times and you're done.I found this to be very well built, with a solid, quality feel. The innovative mechanism is really a huge plus for me when skiing. I like my backpacks securely fastened when I ski, so I always buckle all the additional straps and buckles, so having to take a backpack off is a big pain. I found in past years that I would sometimes not drink as often or take a picture because I could not be bothered to take my backpack off to get at a water bottle or camera, but with this backpack I actually enjoyed doing it. I also started to take it off on chairlifts (which I never used to do) and it just makes the ride a bit more comfortable, as well as giving you a safe place to put things if you need to change neck warmers or goggles, etc. while on the chair, without fear of dropping stuff.Thoroughly recommended.

Bought as a gift for father and struggled to use it fully during our week skiing. The feature of moving it to your front is an excellent idea however doesn’t work all the time and not the most practical method.

After watching the videos - disappointing! A nice clever idea, but in practical terms it doesn’t work.Firstly the rucksack part is held on to the harness by ‘magnets’ - there’s no solid mechanical fastening to the harness so once the rucksack is loaded with stuff it falls off the harness. The picture of the guy carrying skiis on the rucksack is false and can not be done. Also, a heavy fall in the snow and the rucksack is simply torn off the harness. There’s no choice of colours, just black! but on the positive side the size and volume of the bag is hand baggage legal with all airlines when it comes to flying.More work needs to done on this bag to iron out the issues.

The bag is HEAVY...too heavy in my opinion. Also, the returning bag to back function seems to work sometimes and sometimes not...its about 50/50 for me and does make you look stupid as you try to reconnect it. Great pockets and internal space but i find it gets very heavy when i pack it. They need to work on the overall weight of the bag and that latch to reconnect the pack. The water pack works great! Would i buy it again...no. Will use as a trekking pack from now on.

I bought one of these for my last skiing holiday and found it worked really well. There are no magnets - it’s held securely by three strong cables that lock into place when you pull the handle on the front. I had several admiring looks (sadly for the bag and not my skiing!) and one ski instructor commented on how cool it was. It’s big enough for all the usual clutter I carry on piste and the detaching mechanism works well, one you get the hang of it.

The perfect backpack for skiing bar none. Once you master the workings is impressive.

This does not work, sorry, we were really excited when we saw the demo and a skiers thought this would be brilliant. I bought it back in Feb and then surprised my husband with it for his birthday last week. Now I am struggling to return (still in original box with tags). Maybe we have an unlucky one, it reconnects and stays done up 1 in every 10 attempts.

Very pleased with item. In excellent condition for a used item

Prinzipiell interssante Idee, auch nützlich. ABER: Das Wiederhochziehen und dann Befestigen funktoniert eher auf Zufallsbasis, von 10 Versuchen klappt einer. Das nervt. Also noch Verbesserungspotential.
