Product Reviews and Questions
Light and Tough
My first date with this bag was Vietnam journy.
Lightness is fit for my purpose and I like shoulder straps are thin. Very simple to use, I added detachable stuff pocket as needed.
And if you don’t use this bag, it is foldable!!!!
Practical and useful
Very light weight
Summit 30
Great little backpack made for its name. Gets very compact to bring when travelling with bigger luggage.
Very high quality what I can see and lots of possibility to attach stuff on the outside. Fits well and you’r back will be warm😄
Excellent, simple and extremely lightweight
I was quite surprised, when I received the Summit 30 in a package, roughly the size of a Nalgene bottle. Apparently, the Summit 30 can be compressed into virtually nothing. However, the structural integrity of the bag does not suffer as a result. It seems extremely well made, and very sturdy as well. The overall design i very simple - just what I wanted. I will be looking forward to using and abusing this bag for many years to come.
Isle Royale 8 Day
