Berghaus Arrow 30 Backpack

Product Information

It has a good sized main compartment and a floating lid that can be raised a little to allow extra gear to be accommodated if necessary. Access to the main compartment, in addition to the side zip, is via a top opening with drawcord fastening. Inside it is a pouch for hydration bladder, with webbing hanger. Drink tube exit is to the right shoulder. Capacity was good too, and quality was good. The ripstop nylon, felt robust and resisted scuffing well. In likeness to many options, various different man-made materials are chosen in the production. These are favoured to perfeclty merge reliability with convenience. The main one here is 600 D RS Esdura (Ripstop Polyester), which has been moulded to tolerate exterior impacts and take care of your stuff for a good 5 years up until it is time to replace it. There's no need to be worried about your belongings getting wet thanks to a large raincover on the top. In terms of straps, these tend to be pleasingly soft and fairly wide to keep things comfortable as you move around. Similar to a hip belt, a hip strap just adds a little further stability. Extra Space

It actually works quite well, keeping the harness straps in position while allowing chest expansion when breathing hard. The harness straps are quite wide and have ventilated foam padding. The sternum strap’s height can be adjusted using four different daisy chain loops. This involves unhooking each side and repositioning in an alternative loop, which is less convenient than anchors that slide up and down on rails. The hipbelt is a wide webbing strap with elasticated retainer loops for excess length.

The lid is a floating design, enabling it to be raised a little to allow extra space to be used in the main compartment. There’s also a strap for retaining rope under the lid. It benefits from a simple design with a roomy main area, while the front zip opening was very useful for digging out items without having to undo the lid and main drawcord. Climbing: The streamlined shape of the Arrow 30 ensures it doesn’t snag on protrusions, and the chest strap keeps it centred even when you’re reaching for that next hold.

There’s good capacity which, with the addition of the lower compartment, easily accommodated my gear for extended walks. InvalidParameterValue|The value ["B07ZC434ZP", B00QYD8SOW] provided in the request for ItemIds is invalid.The main compartment is uncluttered and contains just the pouch for a hydration reservoir with a hook-and-loop strip hanger. The drink tube exit is central, allowing the tube to be routed down either the left or right harness strap. It coped with carrying a substantial load on a wild camping expedition, with good weight bearing and just enough capacity for such an outing. Comfort was good, even though there isn’t a huge amount of foam padding on the harness and hipbelt. The metal frame can be removed to save a little weight by unfastening a hook-and-loop strip in the main compartment and sliding the frame out.
