Rock 60/40+5L Internal Frame Hiking Backpack for Outdoor Camping Traveling Backpacking Backpack

This is a review of the Naturehike ZT14 (journey) XPAC series Backpack. I used this pack to travel around Europe recently, it accompanied me during trips around Holland, Paris, Switzerland, Italy & Spain, during sunny days as well as rain showers. It is an excellent backpack, I don't tend to over-pack it, and only use it within its 5 kg limit. I tend to pack essentials for the day, below 3.5 kg and it works really well. It's well made, with durable strong materials, and the shoulder straps are well padded and comfortable. I'm 5'7 it fits me perfectly. I love the two internal pockets, and also the outside stretchy mesh zipped pocket. It is excellent for storing my glasses, hats, and light things inside it. The water bottle pocket is also nice and deep, and can easily accommodate my usual bottle of water or my insulated travel mug. Great value for money, and brilliant in use. I would recommend this pack for outdoor people who wish to travel light, and not worry about wear & tear too much, as it's very well made. It looks pretty stylish too, and can accommodate a portable folding mat at the top end of the pack if out hiking. I love it! : )

So I did a great deal of research prior to buying this pack. I went for the upgrade which is dyneema material. You can tell which version on Amazon only because it’s slightly heavier. I used it on a multi day through hike with more than enough hills. Pros: Lightweight, comfortable with plenty of space. Well built. For me the waist pockets were big enough. Great external stretch pockets. Chest strap is ok and water bottle pocket is acceptable. Cons: My pack squeaks where the shoulder strap joins at the top. Also it sometimes feels low on my back without feeling uncomfortable. Base of side pockets isn’t large enough so the netting gets too much ware. Neither of these are a deal breaker at moment.

For the price these backpacks are superb, the materials and general quality of the stitching is far above this price point. There is only one caveat and that's whether it fits you or not, as they're not adjustable length wise. I'm 6ft 2" and mine fitted me really well, I can cinch the straps nice and tight and its really comfortable, with well padded straps. I use mine regularly and am very happy with it. The person who said the 60 litre version isn't 60 litres is clueless, the top is designed to extend and unroll upwards and you can definitely pack a lot into this backpack. I'm not an ultralight hiker but I can get all the kit I need into it, including a tent and meals (and I mean inside minus the poles, which I stick in the side pocket), for a two week through hike, no problem. The other thing I like is that you can use this as a smaller backpack as well, just roll the top right down and it's not a big looking or feeling bag, it's a bit of a swiss army knife to be honest. One criticism is that the rain cover is a bit small if you load this bag up, so I bought a cheap larger one that does a better job, but this is small beer for the price to be honest. This is surprisingly well made and tough bag for the price, when you consider how much an Atom pack would cost, which is very similar (I think this bag is based on that design) then you're getting a lot for your money. If you can afford an Atom pack then get one, it'll be great, but if you're on a budget, and it fits you, then this bag is superb, highly recommended from this experienced hiker. Update to my previous comments: l discovered you can make minor height adjustments to the pack. The waist belt has a big Velcro patch in the centre behind the padding, once you have released it from the Velcro you can move the belt an inch or two up and down. It's a bit fiddly but it can be done, l don't think too many people realise this as l missed it as well. This may be enough to make the pack shorter for some people as it seems to suit taller people like myself.

Brilliant all round. Used it for entirety of Pembrokeshire coastal path. Light, water resistant. V well designed. Held all my gear for a week's hiking and camping. Adds very little weight to overall carry. Robust. All the pockets and features you'd want. V comfortable on back. I'm 6ft 1inch and it fitted my back perfectly and sits v securely and comfortably on my back. Couldn't be happier with my purchase. Glad I bought it before trump raised the price by 10%!

Return as not the most comfortable backpack

Used this bag a couple of times took it out on a 2 day wild camping camp travelled over 42 miles and had a decent amount of weight in it carried it very well and had no rubbing on the neck or anything, which was a concern but I was proven wrong very good bag for the price, very comfy and decent quality I would recommend!!

Made of strong material which looks very repellant.I returned the item as it didn't fit correctly but very sturdy… I can only review on seeing the product.

My new favourite backpack , I can't praise it enough. An ultra light back pack without the ridiculous ultra light price. I over loaded it and it was still really comfy. I'm ordering another for my youngest son as he likes using my one. You may regret many things in life but buying this pack won't be one of them.

Acquisto e testato prima di utilizzarlo nella Translagorai ad agosto. Ha superato ampiamente il test confermandosi un ottimo acquisto

Light. Comfortable to wear for long hikes. Would prefer some more large pockets, now I use bags to keep things separated. Good price. Quality seems reasonable, but we'll know in a year or two.

Good ratio quality / price

Excellent introduction to a lighter pack. They've done a nice job. One waist belt pocket zipper was catching when I got it, but with use straightened out and works correctly. The water bottle holder on the front is excellent for holding a cell phone (iphone 8 in otterbox), and can hold a battery bank as well. I use the side pockets for water bottles. Took it for an overnighter on the augerpoint traverse, vancouver island. It performed well. A bit of noise from the pack while hiking, but I've had that before with far more expensive packs. This is a budget pack after all! I'm 6' tall, and this pack is a little short for my torso. Would be nice if it was torso adjustable.

Très bon sac de rando
