MOUNTAINTOP 40L Hiking Backpack Lightweight Travel Backpack for Men&Women Outdoor Camping Backpacking with Rain Cover

My first impression? I got exactly what I was looking for!Not only is the blue color a beautiful shade of blue, but the 40L size is exactly what I was expecting it to be. Its a little bigger then a school backpack, but not going over the top bigger. I don't own a car, so I drive a little scooter instead. Pretty much all your storage space on a scooter, is in the backpack. I wanted to be able to have the capacity to carry a good amount of groceries. But I didn't want to weigh my scooter down too much by getting a giant, 60L, 70L, or 80L backpack. The zippers on this pack appear to be mid-range quality. Typical plastic zippers as seen on most packs, but the buckles are metal.As you can see from the pictures, this backpack has many pockets. The smallest pocket would be great for storing your keys, cell phone, etc. The pocket on the top of the backpack, which is one of the ones I was able to easily get a picture of, would be a great size to store a camera, or you could store a pair of gloves in there, which i will be doing. There is a bottom access to the main pocket of the backpack, not sure why they did that, makes no sense to me. And this backpack also comes with a raincover that is accessed from the very bottom of the backpack.The main pocket also has the typical access from the top, and I will be using that access point just like with any standard pack. As you can see form the pictures, its very spacious. And this backpack is actually capable of bulging out some more, if you were to put some items in it. In the main pocket, there is a sleeve on one side, that is meant for a hydration pack, something that hikers use. But it can be also used for whatever you want. On the sides of the backpack there are 2-meshed pockets, those are to store water bottles in them. One of the things that I like about this backpack, is that it has both a chest strap, and a hip strap.If you've ever used a standard backpack for school, you will know that sometimes the straps can slip off your shoulders. With a chest strap, that prevents that from happening, and it was easy to adjust. Additionally, there is a hip strap that adds extra support from the bottom half of the pack, and its also easily adjustable. I also appreciate all the padding that this pack has on the back. The straps are nice and wide so they are comfortable as well. In conclusion, I think this is an excellent backpack for the price. I give this pack a solid 5 out of 5 stars!

So I use this as my travel bag and I backpacked through Europe for 3 weeks with this.Negatives:1. the shoulder straps hurt after you put a couple of lbs worth of stuff in the pack so you HAVE TO use the waist belt. And even then I found myself in pretty heavy discomfort after about 15-20 minutes of walking. The straps are thin and a rough material.2. There aren't many pockets. 4 total I believe? Not including the rainfly pocket and the water bottle mesh pocket on the side.3. It's pretty big so it looks odd being used as a carryon without it stuffed fully (it looks like a hiking backpack). Not sure if this is relevant.Positives:1. It seems like pretty good quality material that is going to last me a number of years worth of travel.2. It's very low profile - so you can add your own flair to it (I've sewn patches from every country I've visited onto it).3. It has a pocket in the front you can hide things in under the velcro. And it has a pocket in the main pouch that lines your back where you can put your most valuable things (so they don't get pick pocketed off of you).4. Its big! I stuffed 2 weeks of clothes (packed in air-tight ziplocks) into this and had a bit of room to spare for things like my towel, toiletries, etc.5. It's cheap! But not cheaply made. It's definitely comparable to bigger name brands - but maybe the difference there is the comfort for long-term wear.

I've recently gotten into camping and needed a bag that wouldn't break the bank. I have taken it on 2 trips now. The first trip was more of a car camping trip so wasn't much carrying the pack, but I was able to take everything I needed only in the pack and nothing more just tossed in the car. The second trip was a 7-mile hike out to the camping spot and then 4 miles the next day to the end of the trail (it was a big loop with an overlook roughly at the 7-mile mark we would be stopping at.)We knew that it had the chance to rain, but unfortunately it started raining and then didn't stop. At one point, we stopped and just did a quick tarp setup to stay dry. The rain cover did a great job of keeping what it could cover dry. Maybe my sleeping bag (strapped to the bottom front) was too big but the bag kept the majority of the bag dry. The side pockets were uncovered, but everything I was storing in those was fine getting wet.The bag carried everything I need to take for the hike and 1 night. It could probably hold more for a longer stay, but since I'm still new to the whole camping thing I most likely overpacked.My only real complaint about the pack is the waist straps. The padded parts that wrap around the hips feel great, but the strap itself feels a bit small and kind of dug into my hips. I wish that the strap that connects around the hips was a bit wider to maybe provide a bit more support without digging into the hips.Overall, this bag was a great buy for me. Kept about 98% of my gear dry thanks to the rain cover while hiking through pretty good downfall even with tree cover. Plenty of space inside and great flexibility for gear to be carried on the outside. Just wish the actual strap for the waist strap was more substantial.

La mochila se ve de muy buena factura, esperemos su vida útil sea amplia.

La mochila que me enviaron es un color mas tenue que el que ordene.

Se ajusta tan bien que parece que llevas en la espalda la cuarta parte de lo que has mentido adentro; resistente, fácil de limpiar. Muy satisfecho.

Like the camo color and the bag is good!

Great purchase :)
