65 Litre Walking Hiking Camping Rucksack - Blue - Waterproof.
Free Instant Pickup Using Fast Track Click & Collect
This rucksack has two side mesh pockets, a top cap section with a zipper pocket and two rigid poles for an inner back system. The base section has an internal draw cord opening and an exit hole for a hydration pack bladder hose. There are also webbing loops for accessory attachments such as walking poles.
Surely if your going all that way and spending ££££ on flights etc you would drop more than£12.99 on a decent sack?
In all 99% likelihood this will not be suitable for you, your back on any long carry, and with any kind of weight in it. Plus the aggro / issues and additional expense if (when?) it breaks!>?
A good, adjustable sack with some kind of reinforcement is a must if your taking it anywhere IMHO - and a cheap sack is false economy to the extreme!
Do yourself a favor and get something better for what is likely one of those 'trips of a lifetime'. A good sack will last for years!
I have voted hot still because for what it is its a good price, and for a weekend back i'd carry to and from the car and / or take away on work or something it would likely be fine... but for any kind of long carry or heavy carry - stay clear!
(BTW I am not a snob with these things but speak from my experience (ex forces, former avid hiker) - though I dont get to do much these days due to time and health (sounding older than I am), my experience has taught me a good bag is a critical piece of kit most often overlooked - it doesnt have to be expensive but £12.99? Plus you should really go and try a few on for fit and get the most comfortable)

Bought it. The material is very thin, it's better for large, cumbersome but light things, like clothing and bedding. My back gets unusually hot and sweaty when wearing it, too; there's a lot of padding where it meets your body.
That being said, it's comfortable and will serve as a trusty extra bag for when I need it.
Here it is compared with my trusty, shorter, wider 60 litre bag and 2 litres of pepsi:
Here's what it looks like inside:
And here's the dreaded but clearly very important selfie image:

Haha I admit i've been a bit of a tit. When I got it I realized it was a bit flimsy for what i needed . Gonna have a look tomorrow, thanks for the advice though i'll get something sturdy :smile:

I would agree if you intend having a rucksack on your back for long periods its worth investing in a quality bag.

Ok, fair enough if they are ok, but still I think its only fair to say if your going to be carry it anywhere, with any weight for any length of time you should be trying different bags on for fit (everyone is different).
You only get one back... (and its downhill once its damaged :disappointed: )

Just picked one up from my local Argos store. For under £13 this is well worth the money. About half the weight of my old rucksack.

These bags are pretty decent quality I own the 100 ltr version.
Shouldn't be any problem taking this on any trip.

I probably wouldn't expect it to last a lifetime or too heavy loads but looks good for the price. May even get as a back up! Heat!
