I just bought this exact pack, and the comfort is amazing. Perhaps try re-arranging the pack, by placing the sleeping bag in the upper main body of the pack, and carry the tent externally under the pack using the load straps, this will free up a lot of space. The lower compartment can be used for clothing. Water proofs I place under the hood .I would just use a pack liner and loose fill the sleeping bag, and leave the storage bag at home, Good luck buddy, Happy Trails... bex

Good review and totally agree with your comments. Just finished the cumbria way over a 6 day period loaded up up with 11kg and for the price i paid(£35) it held up extremely well, i just took care putting it on and taking it off. Got absolutely hosed on all day going over Skate pass and the rain cover just showed a lttle moisture had creeped in on the very top but more importantly not in the bag but i had all the important stuff in waterproof stuff sacks anyway. I added some shock chord on the very front where there are some very convenient loops to criss cross, made an excellent waterproofs stash. As my very first long distance hike at 69 it worked for me.

Glad you liked it. It makes my effort worthwhile. It's a good starter rucksack but I was thinking more of a younger person with that remark. Of course it's suitable for older people like you as well as young fellows like me .(I'm not 69 for 3 weeks)🤭😁

Pleased to see my suspicions about this bag were correct but surprised that it would not handle 12 kilos which was a couple of kilos under the maximum weight that I suggested it might take. I only bought it as an option to use on single overnight trips when a smaller lighter bag would be sufficient, but took it for three days just to test it. Fortunately I have several good quality rucksacks, acquired over many years, to choose from so this purchase wasn't a complete disaster, and I hope that between us we have given prospective purchasers something to think about.
