How does our new 45L backpack truly perform in the field? We put it to the test during a 3-day hiking and bivouac trip, facing steep trails, cool nights, and unpredictable weather. The verdict? Here's our complete feedback!
First impressions
Upon receiving it, the bag immediately made a good impression:
-
Sleek and modern design
-
Robust yet lightweight fabrics
-
Comfortable carrying system with an ventilated back and well-padded shoulder straps
One can feel that it was designed for lightweight trekking, without sacrificing durability.
In real conditions
After three days of intensive use, here's what we took away:
Strengths:
-
Perfect capacity for a 2 to 4-day trek: you can fit everything you need without overpacking.
-
Ultra-practical organization with multiple pockets accessible without having to unpack everything.
-
Long-lasting comfort thanks to excellent weight distribution.
-
Weather resistance: light rain doesn't bother it, and an integrated waterproof cover provides protection during heavy downpours.
Bonus point:
The expandable front pocket is ideal for stowing a jacket or a snack to grab without stopping!
And what about areas for improvement?
Honestly, there's not much to criticize, but to be nitpicky:
-
Ultra-light enthusiasts might find it a bit more robust than necessary for extreme fast-hiking.
-
A version with a full front opening could further simplify quick access to the contents.
In summary
Our 45L backpack is the perfect companion for your multi-day hikes, light treks, and bivouac weekends.
It brilliantly combines comfort, practicality, and robustness.
