This Ultralight Backpack Surprised Me!

[@HazeOutdoors]

Enter for a chance to win a full ultralight camping kit and a wild camping experience with myself and Joey D (if you like): raffall.com/352679/enter-raffle-to-win-full-ultralight-camping-kit-come-camping-with-me-hosted-by-haze-outdoors

[@rogerhowis]

Hazy i bet there would be 100's if not 1,000's of people who would love to go on a camp with you and Joey D. Why dont you organise a weekend of camping and fun for all your subscribers. Rent some land and toilets with running water. maybe some of your subscribers can supply music entertainment even food stalls. There could be bush craft guys demonstrating. Obviously make a weekend charge to everyone. I think it could be unbelievably popular.

I’m in and praying for the win 🎉🎉

[@shabingly]

Just fyi: unless they've upgraded it since I bought one, the material is waterproof. The pack is not, as the seams are not taped. Pack liner is a good bet for stuff you wanna guarantee is dry at the end of the day. I proper rate them tbh. Only issue is they only do one size (unless that's now changed), which is why I now use summat else (I have a long torso, apparently). Wife's has taken a bit of abuse and is still going. She loves it.

[@sandrauk7258]

Woah! If only they could make a handbag like that I’d be in my element 😊

[@MrMarkhort78]

Loving the jumper vibes mate.

[@welshfireoutdoors]

It's a fantastic bag I've had mine a year now and it's totally changed my long distance hikes I'm basically walking around with 7kg it's makes everything so easy for me

[@owenhoward3178]

I used this pack last year walking the Caminho from Lisbon up to SDC. 11 weeks & 1000km. That rear mesh pocket is amazing! The only part that failed was the bungee cord at the top of the mesh pocket… It wasn’t very waterproof but i used a lifeventure 55L drybag/packliner which was. 6kg pack weight including tent & I wouldn’t hesitate to use again! I wish they made a 36L & 27L also as I’d buy! I read about the hip belt stitching fail before i bought but i had no issues & nothing but praise for the cost of this pack.

[@laurenolone5059]

More helpful things that i don't need, but now I'm going to get it anyway. Thanks Haze 😊

[@curzonjp]

I have had one of their bivvy tents for the last few years its really well made and weighs next to nothing. I ordered from their website it came in just over a week, and they notified all the way through. I would definitely order from them again

[@daviegrieve4201]

Had one of these for the Skye trail, Rob Roy Way & Affric Kintail Way Pros. Very big bag, love the stretchy outer back mesh pocket. Great for cramming stuff in. Good side and hip pockets. More than enough space to take all your gear. Having your roll mat as a 'frame' is a great idea allowing you to keep it out the way and also feels like your wearing a pillow on your back. V comfy, You can buy accessories such as a shoulder mounted water holder. Also inner zip pouch is handy for storage. Cons. Very poor quality, not waterproof, 3 long distance walks covering a few hundred miles over 2 weeks of constant use and the pack is falling apart. Several buckles are burst, shoulder strap buckles loosen on their own and require constant retightening which is v annoying. The roll mat as the frame is also a con as it leads to the sweatiest back I've ever had. 0 breathability. Stick to osprey exos. Much better! Would I buy again? No. You get what you pay for. But I can't fault my lanshan 2 pro. Would I use it again? Day hike? Max. Another quality vid from Hazey. Just a shame the bag doesn't have the same quality. Big bag manufacturers could pick up a thing or 2 from studying this though.

[@Andreas-ni2lt]

Second this one. I had one of the old 40+15 for a while. The buckles loosening all the time seems like a minor detail, but drove me mad, the main reason I didn't want to use it anymore. I spent 3 times the money on a quality bag and haven't looked back since.

[@bannister-lifeoutdoors8004]

Had my one a couple of year now love it for what it’s aimed at . Nice to see some other getting into it now ! 🙌🙌

[@JEEPERSWILDWANDER]

Word of warning you do need a cover as all my gear got wet and i had a soggy wild camp, maybe ok for showers but not for driving heavy rain .

[@jordandee6984]

I really hope they paid you for how much love you're giving this product

[@jimbobh1965]

Got the older in blue a few years ago and its been great.

[@thecarlislehomestead]

Oooo! I am going to have to show my Honey Bunches. Thanks for the review.

[@a.i.a3949]

If i weren't so skint from lack of work through winter, i would most definitely be grabbing one of those.

[@JH-ne7mr]

I did the Coast to Coast with one of these! Great bag if you're trying to keep things light. Wasn't the most waterproof though, so needed a liner and a cover too, but it was a fraction of the weight of my Osprey.

[@shaunmoneil]

waterproof is almost always a lie. the only hiking gear that's proper waterproof is the bin bag.

[@steveb1972]

Great idea with the sit mat!👍🏼

[@rayfreer2]

Always entertaining but Harry Enfield…bloody genius Paul 🤣

[@miserablecherry7651]

would love to see you do a proper overnight march with this

[@RobOutdoor]

Oh nice!! That would go nicely on a hammock Camp 👍

Looks a mint light weight back pack for sure cheers for sharing

[@nopelindoputraperkasa5869]

Very inspiring and useful, friend ...Thank you for sharing this video ..Greetings from a traditional Indonesian gold prospector 🇮🇩😍😍🙏👍👍

[@Pete_YT]

Nice, I’ll be picking up one of these for a bug out bag.

[@spo72]

It’s a good budget light weight pack. But I do find mine a little awkward and gets a bit uncomfy after a long distance hike . Not a patch on my gossamer. But a great way to get into light weight gear .

[@kingrafa3938]

Nice backpack Hazeo!

[@sammidross]

I have 2 of the older models as they sent me the wrong color and had to fix their mistake. They didn’t want the other back. It’s not too fancy, functions well for my hikes and backpacking trips. It folds and fits well in my suitcase if I travel by plane so no straps getting caught in baggage belts. I usually stick my essentials in a trash bag and use it to pack out trash later. The zippered mesh, I was told, can hold a water bag if you don’t use bottles. Mine also has straps so it can clip to sides and not just to each other. It’s comfortable. Mine has elastic at the top of the mesh. I would prob buy again if I didn’t have the extra already.

[@justinsaint6786]

Its a nice looking sack, ive seen a few vids on it with mixed reviews. I'd give it a whirl 👍🏻

[@NikkiEvernight]

Nice one, Hazey. I was looking for a new bag! ❤

[@andykjohnsonjohnson7622]

Nice review Mr Haze 👍. That is a BARGAIN & more 😀

[@shawnsockaci]

I had that exact one, the shockcord on the back instantly tore off from the stitching and the fabric isnt water proof, it's water resistant though. I've seen issues with the belt tearing at the stitching but I didn't see that on mine. For the price, it's not bad but I wouldn't trust it for multi day backpacking or thruhiking. I am also spoiled because I own a hmg backpack.

[@jamesfitzpatrick988]

Just sent in for the raffle, would be a dream to come away with you and the D mister flex. I've got two kids and sadly not had many chances to fly the nest. This wouod be a beauty of a chance to get back to camping. Love you long time J dawg

[@johnforshaw4269]

It is a very good bag but I found it very sweaty even with the z lite.

[@julesalexandrou]

That looks like a very close copy of the ULA Circuit, including the material style and colour options. That is an unbelievable price given the Circuit is almost £300, although Circuit does have a much better back support.

[@antoniom.andersen6704]

£72 is cheap for such a pack. Going to check it out. Can't wait to hear what you think of it long term.

[@XxxEvengingjjxx]

Buying a cheap waterproof 50l bag off Amazon. Going for my first solo camping trip in next couple weeks, hoping weather stays dry but will be good to test in some rough weather for future reference! Loving your vids bossman 👌

[@everyoneknowsadave3580]

Hopefully they have sorted out the hip belt connection to the bag … according to Mikes long term review of this bag at ‘Novice Wild Camper’ the stitching at those points start coming apart …. But that was an older version …. And actually even if they do start coming adrift a few stitches with some strong thread will have it sorted as good as new-ish…. Still a great buy for 70 quid though … thanks for the review 👍👍

[@JurassicRambler]

Ive had a failure on the stitching coming apart - its a pity as i love the bag and used it on an 8 day walk / campon SWCP

[@northernswedenstories1028]

Yeah I've seen the same issue. The way the hipbelt is attached on these isn't really the best method for longevity.

[@venkatinator]

Novice Wild Camper did a second video about the hip belt issue. They improved the design (basically more stitching), sent it to him, he said he used it for 12 months no issues.

[@everyoneknowsadave3580]

@@venkatinator … yeh i know Mike did a later review … and they beefed up those areas … thanks 👍👍

[@lukewilson5346]

just bought this pack to do the pennine way in june, also bought the lanshan 2 pro, i cant wait

[@Nofixedabode859]

Hi m8 me and son bought 2, not same model but same materials packs ok but net mesh on both ripped out near enough straight away the only let down, it needs a better stretch type mesh👍

[@johnh7935]

Nice jumper, what is it 7:41 7:44

[@seasoldier3902]

Like it! However, being of a larger frame - a fat knacker - my kit takes up a lot of space in a pack. The weight soon mounts up and the bag becomes uncomfortable over long continuous walking on a long distance footpath. The makers do not cater for individual back sizes. It is not for everyone.

[@ktswandering]

Throw in some flights from Australia and away we go!!

[@RichardShortland-Neal]

I’ve been looking at this as I look to lower my pack weight without breaking the bank.

[@100Noddy]

no product link for the bag, got mine from Aliexpress for just over £50.00.

[@smittylite02]

Wonder if the Vaucluse ventilation frame would work with it?

[@shaunmoneil]

man, that looks a whole lot like my exped 60. but with more pockets, and a third of the price. I mean I'm not gonna run out and replace it coz it ain't broke, but when the time comes ..

[@jamesjoyce5962]

I had one from them, before it was branded Qidian, just the old 40+16 one, their joke of a hipbelt was rubbish and just ripped off the main body of the pack after 100 km. It's fine without a belt though. Looking at the new one I think it may suffer from the same problem. I wonder if they reinforced the hip belt "wings" somehow or it's the same old construction.

[@lonecamper5520]

But how does it compare to the naturehike one

[@doozerakapuckfutin]

Have you come across a rack sac with a suspension system yet ?

[@paultyson9070]

One quick question for you. I had a quick look at them online, and from what I can tell. They say that the waist strap is 28". Surely, that can't be right. I was considering purchasing one. But there's no way that would get around my waist. Lol

[@juristimma5366]

similar as AtomPack

[@bradleyjaggard6268]

Tonight is sorted then 🎥

[@jedthefox]

Hazey, you’re amazing. Love your channel big time. Would you consider reviewing the Naturehike insulated sleeping pad? It claims a massive 5.8 r value which makes me seriously narrow my eyes considering its price point. Would love to know what you think. You’re the man!

[@pricehedgehog4759]

Hi mate great video…a separate question…where’s your jumper from?

[@camping_guru_uk]

I was in two minds which pack to get, this or the Naturehike Rock 60+5l, I went for the Naturehike as it only weighs slightly more (probably the same when you add the mat to the 3F UK) but has a frame... I'd love you to do a comparison (fight fight fight) vid. Cheers. Gary

[@andreasweber7828]

Mine wasn’t waterproof after all. Found out as soon my down sleepingbag was saturated

[@AlphaBravoDingo]

Have to ask, where'd ya get that snazzy sweater?

Can you use Scottish Pounds to buy it ?

No, but you can use a boyish scot to pound it

Theres loads of models. Which one is this? Not seen any for £72 either. Likely hiking the prices up following your review.

does whistle double as snorkel? dealbreaker 😊

Iv entered lad. If I win I won’t be about for a few days cos I’m wild camping in Yorkshire but I’ll be back down south to the skidmark of England before you know it (Kent)

Hey!

[@stuartchester6899]

Bloody hell , £72 for an 880 gr pack and a great idea to stash the mat at back as a frame and sleeping mat . My little Atompack only holds 40 litre Being Chinese its going to fall apart with heavy use . Your Lansham is a load of crap but its cheap ..and nasty lol .I m a Durstan follower and they are made much stronger. I doubt the bag will stand all day heavy rain, theres waterproof and water resistant .Cheap way to fully waterproof it is to paint it with silicon mixed with thinners. Loads of youtube stuff on this
