Mountain Warehouse Tor 65L Spacious Rucksack - Ladderlock Back Travel Backpack Dark Blue : Amazon.co.uk: Sports & Outdoors

Do not buy! On the first outing both straps on the upper rucksack ripped out, so the rucksack could not be closed or compressed , the chest strap broke and one of the lower clips broke. My son was on a D of E expedition in wintery wet conditions on high ground and the rucksack completely let him down. Shockingly poor quality.

Good backpack, however one of the plastic clips for the main compartment broke on the third time I used it which isn’t ideal. Good for the price but there is definitely better out there!

Bought for DofE expedition. We are not generally camping family so didn't want to invest in anything too fancy, but equally of course didn't want our son to be too uncomfortable! This turned out to be perfectly comfortable and had lots of convenient features (like access from below, side pockets which were just right for getting key things out in a hurry. And great value. Overall delighted with our choice.

There's lots to like about this rucksack. Its spacious. Has separate compartments and you can access the bottom section without needing to empty it. Couple of pockets in the hood, deep pockets at the side. Something can be attached to the lid like a sleeping mat and there's suitable loops at the base for hanging a reasonably sized tent off.My zip in the outer lid was burst but I managed to zip it back up and know not to put anything valuable in it. There's no where for hanging walking poles but the webbing can be adapted to take them at an angle, but they stick out.The zips are strong and so far I haven't had anything get too wet in the bag, and I've been out in days and days of non stop rain. Dry sacks help as the pack isn't completely waterproof and will eventually get wet inside. The plastic liner means its easy to wipe dry.The shoulder pads are excellent for the price although I find the pack a little short for me, I'm 6' 1" and have the length at long. but the waistband sits a little high. I've walked the West Highland Way 3 times with this pack and have had up to 20kg in it and have had no problems with chaffing, rubbing or balance. The pack feels good on my back and shoulders. I might have been better with the 85L pack but bought this mail order and didn't get to try it on first. I'd recommend you go to a store if possible and try it on.No problems with the pack so far. My main gripe is the waist belt straps are too long while the sternum strap is kinda too short and might pinch under some peoples armpits.The pack has plenty of adjustment but I found it difficult to achieve any without taking the pack off first.The two bars that run the length of the pack for support can be removed easily if you prefer not to have a frame.I would have given it five stars if the zip wasn't faulty, the back had one more setting and the sternum strap was a little longer and the waist belt shorter.
