Great quality

Great quality and material. Seems it will last a long time. Comfortable to wear, secure straps to help keep the backpack in place. Very deep roll top, and deep enclosure, so items inside feel safe. Lots of room inside too. Would be even better if there was a zipped pocket inside the backpack, hence four star rating.

A great addition to the Red Collection would be a 15/20L backpack for everyday use, and a smaller version of the waterproof dry pouch.

Waterproof backpack

Great backpack, superb design and capacity. Having different methods of fastening the main section is great thinking. The only, inevitable, drawback is the weight. Will be very well used for a variety of outdoor activities and travel adventures. Thank you.

Superb just like the movies

ill be honest I purchased the bag after Watchign APEX...it is exactly what I have been after, large but not too big I see it for to and from work, with lots of extra space, and for week long trips across the pond, the pockets at the front are perfect,,,,one I use as keys and AirPods case, the other for sunnies and notepad, and have tonnes for extra space...the inner pouch is the best idea ever.,...remove pack and replace....what would make this bag absolutely the best ever would be the addition of a secret or more concealed pocket large enough for a credit card.....Love the bag...also I would add arrived very well packaged and fast ....

Absolutely great bag!

Bought as a gift for my partner after watching Apex and him exclaiming, I have to know what that bag is. He absolutely loved it, and is a total gear head so him being impressed is saying something. Absolutely would buy again!
