I have a general-purpose backpack searched with 30 to 35L, which can take as hand luggage on the plane, sometimes 2-3h can comfortably carry and otherwise takes for everyday use. For the last point to me a separate notebook compartment was important. My 35L Deuter Hiking backpack is traveling well usable, but not really suitable for everyday wear.
I looked at some models locally in sporting goods stores, department stores and shops and pocket never was right for myself. The classical school or business backpacks feature plenty of space, a laptop compartment, but do not have a decent support system. So a backpack does not want to carry more than one hour.
The classic hiking backpacks can be fine for several hours wear, because they have a support system that allows one to carry the weight on the hips and sometimes relieve the shoulders. However, they have almost all an arched back, which makes them less suitable for the transportation of a notebook. Added to this is the tied opening that is too cumbersome for everyday use.
Material / Design / Design: Typical Mammut quality, beautiful coloring (Space-Smoke).
5 stars
Carrying system: good padding in the shoulder and back area, lap belt in place, but no suitable side cushions, sufficient adjustment possibilities, also for small to medium hikes.
4 stars
Practicality: A 15.6 "notebook fits comfortably into the back compartment and provides sufficient attenuation to protect the equipment The zippers are smooth..
5 stars.
Distribution: The distribution of subjects is selected to be very clumsy. The main compartment is easily accessible, but has a major shortcoming. The notebook compartment shares space with the main compartment, which the available space is significantly reduced here. The entire depth of the rucksack is only available on the ground, because the laptop compartment about 10cm above the bottom stops. This is very awkward, because you you have to dispel completely the main compartment to get here.
The side pockets are open and only suitable for small beverage bottles. Here zuzmindest a sealable bag would offer significant added value. The front compartment with the side zipper is really only a design element. The practical benefit is rather low.
In particular, because of the common use anywhere space of the main and laptop compartment and the side pockets, I would have sent the backpack back, he would have reached me just before the holidays.
1 Star
Dimensions: The backpack is suitable as hand luggage for the plane, but is very high, so he does not fit purely in many lockers. 8cm less height, but more depth would backpacking done well. The volume of the main compartment would be sufficient in itself to when the notebook compartment would not protrude.
3 stars.
Facilities: Unfortunately, no rain cover is integrated loops for hiking poles and extra pockets available, I have not been used.
